Hopefully, some positive touchdown regression is headed Stafford’s way. His 1.6 touchdown percentage is 33rd among 34 qualified quarterbacks. However, the veteran has just two touchdown passes to show for his efforts. Yet, it has not quite translated into fantasy points. Matthew Stafford is the only NFL quarterback who has finished in the top 10 in air yards in all three weeks. I expect Jordan Love to be a mid-range QB2 with some upside in Week 4. Improved consistency may mitigate lower volume if Jones and/or Watson are in the lineup. Both Aaron Jones and Christian Watson are questionable for Thursday night’s matchup against the Detroit Lions. Having said that, it was an impressive performance without arguably the team’s best running back and best receiver against a good defense. Love had more air yards last week than he had in his previous two games combined. The issue for fantasy managers is that the volume (44 pass attempts, nine rushing attempts) is not something the Packers want Love to replicate every week. Jordan Love led the way in Week 3 air yards as he led the Green Bay Packers to a spirited fourth-quarter comeback in his first start in Lambeau Field. The same sentiment goes for those with Lamar Jackson (189, QB3) and Patrick Mahomes (223, QB5). For example, Tua Tagovailoa only had 150 air yards last week, but I don’t think any of his fantasy managers are complaining about his overall QB2 finish. Of course, plenty of factors contribute to fantasy success besides air yards. The other five finished 20th or worse in fantasy points. Five of the top 10 leaders in air yards finished as top-11 fantasy quarterbacks. There were some interesting results among the top 10 quarterbacks in air yards last week.
