Detroit Lions 5-3 at Chicago Bears 5-3
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Matthew Stafford
#3 Ranked QB
The Lions are back from bye and they should be ready for fantasy gold. Chicago might be tough against QBs but we are not worried for Stafford this week. Stafford had 16.5 fantasy points against the Bears last time they played but Chicago scored 40 points against them. We expect two TDs and at least 250 yards against the Bears.
Calvin Johnson
#1 Ranked WR
Megatron can do no wrong. You never bench him. Johnson had 36.90 fantasy points the week before bye. He might not get your team that many points this week but that man can catch anything and can out power anyone.
Reggie Bush
#5 Ranked RB
Love RBs coming off a bye. Bush put up 23.30 fantasy points against Chicago earlier this year and the Bears give up the 7th most fantasy points to RBs and Bush is not like other RBs. He is listed as probable but he will play and he will play well.
David Akers
#4 Ranked K
Chicago gives up the 5th most fantasy points to Kickers. Akers scored 18 fantasy points against Chicago in Week 4. He is only owned in 36% of leagues. This might be your pick up of the week.
Gut Calls
No Gut Calls this week against the Bears. Detroit has their studs and their fillers.
Bench Warmers
We like both TEs but you don’t know who is going to get the targets and who might get the TD. Because of that, we cannot put either of them in gut calls this week. Joique Bell has a good match-up but is not consistently used in the offensive and only had 2 fantasy points against Chicago the last time they met.
