4 years agoDetroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb, ankle) will reportedly start against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17, barring any overnight setbacks. Stafford is dealing with several injuries, most recently an ankle injury that forced him out of his Week 16 game during the first quarter The Lions are already eliminated from playoff contention and have nothing to play for, but Stafford wants to be out there for the season finale. His return to action would be a boost to a Detroit offense that struggled under Chase Daniel and David Blough last week after Stafford departed. Treat him as a mid-range QB2 in a plus matchup and bump up the rest of the Detroit skill players in fantasy if he does in fact start on Sunday.--Matt T - RotoBaller
