Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2-8 at Detroit Lions 6-4
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Matthew Stafford
#2 Ranked QB
Stafford had 362 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT. The first half of the game was where most of his fantasy points came from. We were all hoping for a record-breaking performance from him last week but 22.88 points is nothing to complain about. Better then Peyton, Brady and Luck. Tampa Bay has given up the 8th most fantasy points to QBs.
Calvin Johnson
#1 Ranked WR
Calvin is the best WR in the league. You play him every week that he is playing. He had 179 yards and 2 TDs almost all in the first half. There should never be any question in your mind that he is a must start. Tampa Bay gives up the 15th most fantasy points to WRs.
Reggie Bush
#12 Ranked RB
Last week was not Reggie’s best moment at all. He fumbled the ball in the first half, which put him on the bench. Lets all forget about the 3.40 points he gave us and move on to this week against Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers give up the 11th fewest points to RBs. We don’t expect huge numbers from Reggie this week but he should have starting-caliber numbers.
Gut Calls
Joque Bell
#32 Ranked RB
Bell is no longer on our bench. He is questionable for week 12 after injuring his foot during the game against Pittsburgh. Bell had 49 yards rushing and a TD with another 48 yards receiving. Bell saw a lot of action after Bush had trouble holding on to the ball. Bell is a risky pick but if he is cleared to play, he might be just what the Lions need to be productive in the run game against Tampa Bay.
Nate Burleson
#49 Ranked WR
Burleson might be back after breaking his arm in a car accident. No drugs were involved, just a hungry man and a pizza box. Burleson is a really good WR. He might be a start this week seeing how he is questionable but he is only owned in 11% of leagues. Time to pick him up.
Bench Warmers
Brandon Pettigrew
#26 Ranked TE
Pettigrew is good at what he does, getting 3 points for your fantasy team. He has yet to have a game in double digits this year. Stafford has better targets and Pettigrew is dealing with an injury.
