Stafford led the league with 46 touchdown passes and 4,707 passing yards at age 38, finished second among quarterbacks in total points, and the market's answer is a tenth-round pick. The shape of the skepticism is easy to reconstruct: one rushing yard all season means everything rides on passing volume and touchdown rate, and the consensus projection duly strips him to 34 touchdowns and a QB15 rank that his QB15 price matches almost exactly. The charting says the season was earned rather than lucked into, with a 96th percentile air-yards-to-sticks figure, a 93rd percentile aggressiveness rate, and the position's second-best passer rating, a 38-year-old still attacking past the marker and winning. The Rams also hold a top-three implied team total on early lines. Nobody is asking you to pay for a repeat, since even a heavy regression lands close to the price, while the scenario where the touchdown rate only half-regresses comes along free. The strangest number in his profile is the 2QB market, where he drifts to QB25 against a QB15 projection, the deepest format markdown anywhere in this range.
