Detroit Lions – Fantasy Forecast – Week 14

Cover32LogoDetroit Lions 7-5 at Philadelphia Eagles 7-5

 

Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em

Matthew Stafford

#3 Ranked QB

Stafford put together a nice game on Thanksgiving rewarding fantasy owners with a 20 point performance. This week he faces the Eagles who give up the 9th most fantasy points to opposing QBs. If RG3 can put up 23 fantasy points against the Eagles, imagine what Stafford can do. Must Start.

 

Calvin Johnson

#1 Ranked WR

The Eagles give up the most fantasy points to opposing WRs and it’s Megatron. This match-up has “huge game” written all over it. Start Calvin. As if there was a question.

 

Reggie Bush

#13 Ranked RB

After breaking his promise not to fumble again, Bush torched the Packers for 117 rushing plus a TD and 65 yards receiving. The Eagles will likely devote a lot of attention towards stopping the Detroit WRs and Bush will have plenty of room to run all over them.

 

Gut Calls

No gut calls.

 

Bench Warmers

Joique Bell

#23 Ranked RB

After putting up 18.8 fantasy points against the Packers, Bell proved that he is a roller coaster player that will be difficult to trust down the stretch. Fantasy playoffs are for players that can be trusted to produce and Bell is not a consistent producer.

 

Nate Burleson

#31 Ranked WR

Burleson burned fantasy owners when he scored zero fantasy points against the Packers last week. The potential is there for a big game, but with the fantasy playoffs upon us, he can’t be trusted to produce.

Detroit Lions – Fantasy Forecast – Week 11

Detroit Lions 6-3 at Pittsburgh Steelers 3-6

 

Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em

Matthew Stafford

#3 Ranked QB

Stafford threw for 219 yards and 3 TDs last week against Chicago. He had trouble connecting with his receivers, only completing 18 of 35 passes. Pittsburgh is tough against opposing QBs, but the only decent QBs they played all season were Cutler and Brady.  Both the Bears and the Patriots scored 40 and 55 points to beat the Steelers. Stafford is better than Brady and Cutler this year, if you ask us. Stafford is a must start.

 

Calvin Johnson

#1 Ranked WR

Johnson has scored over 20 fantasy points for three games in a row. He had 83 yards receiving and 2 TDs. He could have had more but he dropped the ball a few times. Megatron is a must start no matter who he plays. Never bench your studs.

 

Reggie Bush

#6 Ranked RB

Bush rushed for 105 yards in addition to 8 yards receiving last week against Chicago. He also dropped passes last week that could have increased his fantasy points. Pittsburgh gives up the 9th most fantasy points to opposing RBs. Bush is a top ten RB so he is a must start.


Gut Calls

No gut calls.


Bench Warmers

Joique Bell

#37 Ranked RB

We like Bell; let’s start there. With Bush getting the majority of the carries and Stafford liking to air it out, Bell just isn’t ready to be in your lineup. Bell carried the ball 10 times for 41 yards. Not a bad choice to have on your bench, but not a starter.

Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers

This week, we made some gut calls on Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford, Reggie Bush, Joique Bell, and Brandon Pettigrew.

We like to call a game like this a “fantasy orgy.”  Get in on it!
