Fantasy Football: 5 Historical Vegas Trends You Should Know for Week 2

Matthew Stafford Struggles as a Road Underdog

Matthew Stafford may be due for another rough outing this week. The Detroit Lions travel to the San Francisco 49ers in a game where Vegas expects the home team to take care of business as 5.5-point favorites. In games where Stafford is on the road and expected to lose by more than a field goal, his fantasy points take a concerning hit.

The primary cause for this is his drop in efficiency, averaging 1.1 fewer yards per attempt while throwing 0.73 fewer touchdowns and 0.34 interceptions more per game.

Stafford is still a viable play this week, he just may not be worth the risk at a cost of $7,700.
