Week 8: 25 attempts, 157 passing yards, 0 carries, 100% snaps, and 6.3 yards per attempt. Week 9: 43 attempts, 228 passing yards, 1 carry, 100% snaps, and 5.3 yards per attempt.

Roster-specific plan
late-career quarterback with rising usage
The same player can require a different decision depending on your competitive window and the liquidity of the return.
Contending roster
Win-now approach
A contender should keep or acquire Matthew Stafford only when the recent workload helps a real starting decision and the roster still retains enough playable Superflex access. Do not pay the market-proxy premium without accepting the production gap.
Rebuilding roster
Long-term approach
A rebuilder should shop Matthew Stafford for draft liquidity or a younger asset when another roster values the current tier more than the remaining career window. 3-week observed sample is a reason to set a bounded price, not to wait for an invented future role.
Negotiation edge
Best market move
FairPlay values Matthew Stafford at 2,489. FairPlay's market proxy sits ahead of its production input by 9 points. Treat that as a model comparison, not a verified ADP or trade price.
