Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Matthew Stafford (TRUST): Stafford is on a roll, reeling off three straight QB1 scoring weeks, with the latter two coming against the Browns and Ravens.
Touchdown regression to the mean has finally caught up to Stafford.
After a 2.9% touchdown rate (26th) over his opening nine games, Stafford has a league-high 9.0% touchdown rate over the past three weeks.
This week, he gets a Washington defense allowing a league-high 6.7% touchdown rate to quarterbacks.
Washington has allowed multiple passing touchdowns in 10 games this season.
I am going to keep mentioning this nugget until the streak finally breaks, but Washington has allowed every quarterback they have faced since the season opener to score more fantasy points than what they were averaging entering the week of playing them.
