Detroit Lions – Fantasy Forecast – Week 14
Detroit 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.
