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.
