Smith: Stafford stands out in workouts: Lions RB Kevin Smith said on his personal web site that he's impressed with rookie QB Matthew Stafford. According to Smith, "One thing that really has surprised me so far in OTAs is how good Matthew Stafford has looked. ... So far, so good for Matt. He's very poised for a young quarterback and very smart from what I can see. He reads coverage and can deliver the ball. ... He's really impressed me now that I've had a chance to see him up close." Smith also praised Stafford's competition, Daunte Culpepper. "Daunte is a great teammate and a great professional. I know he's not going into practice worrying about whether he'll be starting or not. He goes into practice throwing the ball with strength and accuracy because he wants to be a better QB and help this team win more games. All of the quarterbacks here are great professionals willing to help each other."

Fantasy Analysis

It sounds like Stafford will likely win the job as the starter for the Lions, but expect Culpepper to play also. This will be a situation that likely settles itself in training camp, but whoever is the starter should be considered a No. 2 Fantasy QB in seasonal leagues. We like Stafford as a first-round pick in rookie-only formats, and he should be a high draft pick in keeper leagues as well. The one benefit for whoever is the starter in Detroit is throwing the ball to WR Calvin Johnson.

QB Daunte Culpepper has lost more than 30 pounds since last season, when he came out of semiretirement and jumped right into the Lions' starting lineup. He said he is 100% entering training camp for the first time since 2004, when he put up one of the best passer ratings in NFL history for Minnesota. 62/5/2009

June 30, 2009: End silly debate, Detroit: Stafford should start right away

Peyton Manning started his rookie season and threw 28 interceptions. That did not ruin his career. So the choice is simple in Detroit: Don't waste any time and start Matthew Stafford next season, Pete Prisco says.

June 28, 2009: Lions QB: Daunte Culpepper

If Daunte Culpepper holds on to the top gig, he'd be a No. 2 Fantasy QB simply because he'd be throwing bombs to Calvin Johnson.
