Fantasy Profile: Matthew Stafford, QB, Detroit Lions
Any quarterback that cannot pass for 30 touchdowns, with Golden Tate and Megatron (Calvin Johnson) on their team, scares me. Matthew Stafford had over 4,000 yards but only recorded 25 touchdowns to go with it. He flashed big stats in Week 1 and for the most part, played average the rest of the way. Stafford has everything he needs to be a stud but just does not put the numbers up. Proceed with caution pretty much sums it up when it comes to taking Stafford in fantasy drafts.
