Lions D/ST Could Have Opportunities for Takeaways in Week 12
The Detroit Lions suffered a disappointing defeat in Week 11 to the Philadelphia Eagles. However, Detroit's defense held up its end of the bargain, holding Philadelphia under 300 yards of total offense and allowing just 16 points. The Lions' defense could have another chance at success in Week 12 when they face the New York Giants, who will remain without starting quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion). Through 11 weeks this season, the Giants have taken the seventh-most sacks (33) and thrown the eighth-fewest passing touchdowns in the NFL. Without Dart, New York will turn to veteran quarterback Jameis Winston. While Winston is capable of putting up huge performances, he's also thrown 112 interceptions across 88 career starts. Detroit's banged-up secondary will remain without cornerback Terrion Arnold (concussion) and safety Kerby Joseph (knee) against New York, but cornerback D.J. Reed (hamstring) could return from the hamstring injury that has sidelined him since Week 4. The Lions D/ST profiles as a solid starting unit for fantasy managers in Week 12 against the Giants.
