Matthew Stafford, QB, Detroit Lions

FanDuel Price: $7,700

DraftKings Price: $6,000

Following an underwhelming performance by Matthew Stafford against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3, the Detroit Lions head to Minnesota for a tough divisional matchup that doesn't look terribly lucrative for the signal caller. The over/under sits at just 43.0 points with the Lions displaying just a 20.75 implied team total.

History also isn't on Stafford's side, as he hasn't been terribly impressive against the Vikings since Mike Zimmer took over. Over six contests, he's averaged just 221.8 passing yards and 1.5 touchdowns per game. It's also worth noting that while the Vikings pass defense ranks just 24th by numberFire's metrics so far after ranking third last season.

With big home favorites like Tom Brady and Matt Ryan on the high end and intriguing guys like Trevor Siemian and Tyrod Taylor priced below him, Stafford falls low on the quarterback totem pole this week.
