Stafford once again didn't play any offensive snaps during the preseason.
Stafford hasn't taken a preseason snap since the summer of 2019, but the difference this year from last is that he's healthy. While he dealt with back issues last summer, he's been a full participant in training camp this time around. Despite the back trouble, Stafford still started all 17 regular-season games in 2025 and led the league with 4,707 passing yards, 46 touchdowns and a 7.7 percent touchdown rate en route to winning the MVP Award. He finished as fantasy's overall QB3 but is being drafted on average as the QB12 this year.
