| Stafford the comeback kid: Detroit QB Matthew Stafford claimed the 2011 Associated Press NFL Comeback Player of the Year award after beating out six other players who received votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members. Stafford fought through injuries his first two seasons, then threw for more than 5,000 yards in 2011 to lead Detroit to its first playoff berth in 12 years. He received 21 votes, six more than Cleveland LB DQwell Jackson. San Francisco QB Alex Smith finished third, followed by Carolina WR Steve Smith, Denver DL Elvis Dumervil, New England DL Andre Carter and Giants QB Eli Manning (Updated 02/05/2012) |

| Fantasy Analysis |
| Stafford not only had a great comeback year from shoulder and knee injuries in his first two pro seasons, but he was exceptional at leading comebacks in games. He helped Detroit become the first team in NFL history to rally and win four games after being down by at least 13 points, including 20-plus point comebacks at Dallas and Minnesota. He completed 63.5 percent of his passes for 5,038 yards -- only the fourth quarterback to go over 5,000 yards -- and 41 touchdowns. Fantasy owners should target him as a No. 1 QB option in 2012 drafts. (Updated 02/05/2012). |
