Matthew Stafford Benched, Dan Orlovsky Replaces Him

After tossing three interceptions in two-plus quarters, Matthew Stafford was benched for Dan Orlovsky. This season Stafford has really struggled - if he continues this pace, he will have a career high 26 interceptions which is six more interceptions than his rookie season in 2009.

While playing against Cardinals in the second half, he did an okay job filling in (191 yards and one touchdown). Most of his passes were short underneath routes, and he obviously does not provide any fantasy relevance. The last time Orlovsky attempted a pass was in 2012, and has been a backup QB since 2009.

In addition to his high number of turnovers, Stafford has been trending downward in QB rating, yards per pass and yards per game just to name a few. Continue monitoring this situation, especially if you are a Matthew Stafford owner, but you hopefully have a backup plan in place.
