Detroit Lions – Fantasy Forecast – Week 15
Baltimore Ravens at Detroit Lions
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Matthew Stafford
#5 Ranked QB
24, 26, 26, 18, 22, 16, 20 and…5 fantasy points! So it turns out that the only thing that can slow Stafford down this year is an act of God. Anyone who watched the game in Philadelphia this weekend could see why Stafford had such a bad game. Although he plays a tough Baltimore Ravens Defense this week, he will be at home and in a dome. It’s the fantasy playoffs and he’s the 4th best QB in fantasy. You’re starting Stafford.
Calvin Johnson
#1 Ranked WR
If he hadn’t scored you 20 plus fantasy points in five games this year, two of which were for 30 plus points, you would feel guilty for calling him a bum. The fact is Johnson is the top WR in the league and there should be no question that he is a Must Start. You always start your studs.
Joique Bell
#35 Ranked RB
Having the RB spot to himself on Sunday, Bell rushed for 69 yards and a TD. He also caught four passes for 58 yards. The man is a beast. In three of his last four games he scored over 15 fantasy points. Baltimore does give up the 4th fewest fantasy points to RBs so don’t expect huge numbers but he should get his typical 15 points.
Gut Calls
Reggie Bush
#23 Ranked RB
Bush was hurt during pre-game warm-ups in Philadelphia, leaving fantasy owners completely screwed if they started him. Currently he is day-to-day and it’s up to you if you want to risk playing a guy who gets injured during warm-ups.
Bench Warmers
Nate Burleson
#52 Ranked WR
Two catches for 18 yards in his last two games, almost not worth mentioning. You’re not starting him; if he’s on your roster consider dumping him and adding depth at another position.
