Matthew Stafford Has Average Game Against Bills

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 22 of 29 for 208 yards and a touchdown in the 14-13 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. While nothing special, this was a better day than the Week 14 offering from Stafford. The Lions offense is a mess due to injuries and the 30-year-old is dealing with […]

The Detroit Lions Defense Could Shine Against The Bills

The Detroit Lions defense/special teams has the chance for a solid day on Sunday when they face off with the Buffalo Bills. Last week against Arizona, the Lions didn't allow a touchdown for the first time all season. In the victory, they also held the Cardinals to under 300 yards of offense. After starting off […]

Kerryon Johnson, Bruce Ellington Out Against The Bills

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) is listed as "Out" for Sunday's game against the Bills, marking his fourth straight game missed. This will elevate LeGarrette Blount, Theo Riddick, and possibly Zach Zenner's status this week. Wide receiver Bruce Ellington (hamstring) is also going to miss the Week 15 road matchup with Buffalo. Ellington […]

Michael Roberts Looking To Get Back On track

Detroit Lions tight end Michael Roberts put up a goose egg in Week 14 against the Cardinals. This week against the Bills, Roberts will have his hands full as Buffalo has allowed just 41 receptions and four touchdowns to tight ends this season. The only way Roberts could find any relevance is if he scores […]

Levine Toilolo Shouldn't Be An Option In Week 15

Detroit Lions tight end Levine Toilolo has seen increased production the last two weeks, catching six passes for 116 yards, higher totals than the rest of his season combined. The Lions Week 15 opponent, the Buffalo Bills, have allowed the second fewest receptions to tight ends this year with 41. Combine a struggling offense and […]

Andy Jones Could See Increased Usage Against Bills

Detroit Lions wide receiver Andy Jones caught his second pass of the season last week for just five yards. This week, it is not looking like Bruce Ellington will be able to suit up against the Bills, so Jones has a chance to be more involved in a struggling Lions offense. Even with more chances, […]

TJ Jones Should See More Targets In Week 15

Detroit Lions wide receiver TJ Jones has been severely disappointing in the absence of Marvin Jones. Over his last seven games, he has just seven receptions for 93 yards and no scores. However, with Bruce Ellington (hamstring) not practicing so far this week, it means that Jones very well could become the Lions' WR2 this […]

Kenny Golladay Has Tough Matchup Against Bills

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay caught just two passes for five yards in last week's win over the Cardinals. It was a very pedestrian game for the second-year man, and one of his worst games of the season. This week against the Bills, Golladay is fighting for targets with TJ Jones, Andy Jones, and […]

Zach Zenner Could See More Carries Against The Bills

Detroit Lions running back Zach Zenner garnered a season high 12 carries for 54 yards, while scoring his first touchdown of the season last week against the Cardinals. Before Week 14, Zenner had only registered four carries for 28 yards, so it was interesting to see a big jump in workload. This week against the […]

Theo Riddick Is a Desperation Flex In Week 15

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick has been serviceable in the absence of Kerryon Johnson, catching 14 passes for 104 yards, while rushing for another 72 yards in three games. This week against the Bills, Riddick has a chance to see even more work in the passing game with Bruce Ellington (hamstring) not practicing so […]

LeGarrette Blount A Risky Option Against The Bills

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount hit a roadblock last week, and that was Zach Zenner, his own teammate. Zenner scored Detroit's only offensive touchdown, while also taking 12 carries away from Blount. However, the bruiser has been solid ever since rookie Kerryon Johnson got injured, rushing for 182 yards and two touchdowns over the […]

Matthew Stafford In Tough Spot Week 15

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford had one of the least productive games of his 10-year career last week against the Cardinals, throwing for just 101 yards and no touchdowns. Despite the Lions winning 17-3, Stafford left much to be desired, and the situation doesn't get better this week on the road against the Bills. The […]

Matt Prater Continues Field-Goal Streak In Week 14

Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater hit his only field-goal attempt while also knocking two extra points in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Prater has now made 15 straight field goals dating back to Week 7. Unfortunately for Prater, he hasn't received many opportunities recently because the Lions offense has been struggling. Either way, he's been […]

Lions Defense Stifles The Cardinals

The Detroit Lions defense/special teams allowed just three points to the Cardinals in Sunday's win. Darius Slay recorded his third interception of the season, picking off Josh Rosen and returning it for a touchdown in the third quarter. Aside from the pick six, the defense also registered three sacks, making it a tough day for […]

Levine Toilolo Catches Two Passes On Sunday

Detroit Lions tight end Levine Toilolo hauled in both of his targets for 26 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Toilolo finished second on the team in yards and tied for second in receptions, which ultimately says how rough of a day it was for the Lions offense. However, it does support a trend […]

Michael Roberts Falls Flat Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions tight end Michael Roberts did not register a catch in Sunday's win over the Cardinals despite being targeted twice. It was a bad day all around for the Lions passing attack as Matthew Stafford did not throw a touchdown but that also spells bad news for fantasy owners. The Lions tight end position […]

TJ Jones Catchless Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions wide receiver TJ Jones wasn't able to corral his only target on Sunday against the Cardinals. The goose egg halts Jones' streak of six games where he caught at least one pass. It's odd to see how under utilized the 26-year-old is, seeing as how many of the Lions offensive skill position players […]

Bruce Ellington Catches Four Passes, Leaves Game With Injury

Detroit Lions wide receiver Bruce Ellington caught all four of his targets for just 17 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Ellington was forced to leave the game in the third quarter with a hamstring injury and did not return. The 27-year-old has now caught at least four passes in every game since joining […]

Kenny Golladay Silenced In Week 14

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay had just two receptions for five yards in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. This is the second-year receiver's worst game of the season; however, his quarterback had arguably his worst statistical game of his career. Golladay is a great pass catcher but he plays on a team whose […]

Zach Zenner Scores First Touchdown Of Season Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions running back Zach Zenner rushed for 54 yards on 12 carries and scored his first touchdown of the season in the 17-3 win over the Cardinals. Since re-signing with the Lions earlier in the season and returning from injury in Week 9, Zenner has received breadcrumbs in the Lions rushing attack. However, that […]

Theo Riddick Gets 10 Touches In Week 14

Detroit Lions running back Theo Riddick took six carries for 28 yards and caught all four of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. The 27-year-old still has yet to find pay dirt this season but continues to be a steady low-ceiling flex option in PPR leagues. Next week, the Lions […]

LeGarrette Blount Held In Check Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount rushed for 33 yards on 12 carries and also caught two passes for 18 yards in Sunday's victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Rookie Kerryon Johnson (knee) missed a third straight game so Blount had a chance to have a solid day; however Zach Zenner came in and stole the […]

Matthew Stafford Posts A Clunker Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford finished 15 of 23 for just 101 yards and no touchdowns in Sunday's 17-3 win over the Arizona Cardinals. This is arguably the worst statistical game in Stafford's career. Including Sunday's win, Stafford hasn't thrown for more than 245 yards in four straight games and has just two touchdowns in […]

Lions Defense In A Good Spot For Week 14

The Detroit Lions defense/special teams is coming off a thrashing at the hands of Todd Gurley and the LA Rams. The Lions allowed Gurley to rush for 132 yards and two touchdowns; it was the first time the Lions allowed 100 yards rushing since Week 9. While Detroit is very banged up with Darius Slay, […]

Michael Roberts Looks To Return Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) has been a full participant in practice this week after missing last week’s game against the Rams. The second-year man has been eating up red zone targets; in his seven games played, he has seven targets inside the 20-yard line. It’s led to three touchdowns this season; however, […]

Luke Willson Isn't In A Good Spot Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions tight end Luke Willson played a season-high 50 snaps last week against the Rams, but it only resulted in one reception for eight yards. Fellow tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) should be returning to game action this week after missing one game, which will definitely take snaps away from Willson. Regardless, Willson holds […]

TJ Jones Is Off The Radar In Week 14

Detroit Lions wide receiver TJ Jones has been a big disappointment since the departure of Golden Tate combined with the injury absence of Marvin Jones. In his last six games, the former Jones has just seven receptions for 93 yards and no touchdowns. Injuries and tough matchups have riddled the Lions, but their offense has […]

Bruce Ellington Could Be Reliable Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions wide receiver Bruce Ellington has been a steady source of receptions since joining the Lions, but that’s all about all he has to his name. He even had a career high 10 targets in Week 13, but in his three games combined as a Lion he has accumulated just 115 yards on 19 […]

Kenny Golladay In A Tricky Spot On Sunday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (quad) has been limited at practice this week and unfortunately will likely be drawing a matchup with the Cardinals’ Patrick Peterson on Sunday. Golladay has been the Lions’ WR1 the last two weeks with Marvin Jones out for the season, and that will continue as long as he is […]

LeGarrette Blount In Line For Solid Day Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount has rushed for 149 yards in his last two games. That’s not far off from the 183 yards he accrued through the first 10 games of the season. He didn’t find the end zone in Week 13 which renders him pretty useless for fantasy purposes. A Week 14 matchup […]
