Summary
In 2018, Matthew Stafford ran his streak of playing all 16 games to eight seasons but saw his seven-year streak of throwing for 4,250 or more yards broken. He threw for just 3,777 yards, primarily due to his his career-high 7.9 YPA in 2017 falling all the way to 6.8 last season. Perhaps the biggest reason for the big decrease in yardage and efficiency was a lack of weapons. Kenny Golladay was the only decent receiving option for much of the season. Eric Ebron left prior to the season in free agency, Golden Tate was traded prior to Week 8, and Marvin Jones missed the final seven games with injury. Offensive line injuries also took a toll. The Lions went out and added a key weapon for Stafford, using their top-10 pick on tight end T.J. Hockenson. If Hockenson can make a quick transition to the NFL while Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay stay healthy, Stafford should have enough surrounding talent to bounce back to putting up at least strong QB2 fantasy numbers.
