Marvin Jones Stays Hot In Week 13
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones hauled in three of six targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Lions Week 13 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Bo Scarbrough Could Be Very Busy In Week 13
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough has performed very well over the last two weeks, rushing for 153 yards and one touchdown to take control of the Lions backfield. That's likely not going to change this week with backup quarterback Jeff Driskel (hamstring) unable to start and rookie David Blough getting the call. The Lions... Read More
Marvin Jones Has Tough Week 13 Matchup
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones has been backup quarterback Jeff Driskel's favorite target since he was thrown into the fire in Week 10, but the veteran wide receiver will have a new signal-caller in Week 13 with Driskel (hamstring) unable to start. Jones had been on a solid run lately, but with a tough... Read More
Kenny Golladay Looking To Get Back On Track
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay is averaging just 51 yards per game with backup quarterback Jeff Driskel under center, having caught just eight balls for 152 yards and one touchdown over three games.

T.J. Hockenson Downgraded To Questionable Against Redskins
Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins. Fantasy owners relying on Hockenson in Week 12 are going to want to monitor the Lions pregame warmups, as being added to the injury report this late in the week doesn't happen very often and is... Read More
Bo Scarbrough Looking To Take Control Of Lions Backfield
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough looked solid in Week 11, posting 55 yards on 14 attempts and one touchdown just one day after being promoted from the practice squad. Week 12 presents an excellent opportunity for Scarbrough to take control of a Lions backfield that has been in disarray since Kerryon Johnson (knee) was... Read More
Jeff Driskel A Solid Option In Week 12
Detroit Lions backup quarterback Jeff Driskel has impressed in two starts since taking over for the injured Matthew Stafford (back).

Peyton Barber Not A Recommended Week 12 Start
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber is trending towards being cemented as the clear-cut No. 2 option in the Bucs backfield. Barber did not get a touch in Week 11, and while he did find the end zone on one of his two targets on the day, it looks like Ronald Jones II is... Read More
Ronald Jones II On RB3/4 Borderline For Week 12 Matchup
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II looks to be the back to own on the Bucs. Jones was the victim of a negative game script in Week 10, seeing just 6 touches throughout the afternoon, but he's also been targeted 12 times over the last two games and seems to have finally separated... Read More
T.J. Hockenson Hoping To Get Going In Week 12
Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson has surpassed the 32-yard receiving mark just once since his outlier Week 1 performance, while also putting up three single-digit receiving yard performances in that time. His floor is quite an ugly one with or without Matthew Stafford (back) in the lineup, making him a very tough sell... Read More
Marvin Jones Looks To Keep Rolling
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones has been on a tear since Week 7. The veteran wideout has accumulated 361 yards and seven scores over the last five games and will look to stay hot against the Washington Redskins on in Week 12.

Kenny Golladay Has Plus Week 12 Matchup
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has a plus matchup in Week 12 with the Washington Redskins on deck. Golladay and backup quarterback Jeff Driskel have not been able to get on the same page through two games against tough defenses, with Golladay only hauling in 4-of-14 targets since Driskel took over. A plus matchup... Read More
T.J. Hockenson A Non-Factor In Lions Week 11 Loss
Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson was quiet once again, posting just one catch on two targets for six yards in Week 11. There are just too many mouths to feed on this Lions squad for Hockenson to consistently get targets. Hockenson has surpassed the 32-yard receiving mark just once since his outlier Week... Read More
Jameis Winston Throws Four Interceptions In Week 11 Loss
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston completed 30-of-51 passes for 313 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions in the Bucs Week 11 loss to the Saints.

Peyton Barber Finds End Zone In Bucs Loss To Saints
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber did not have a rushing attempt the entire afternoon in Week 11 but was able to save his day with a six-yard touchdown catch.

Ronald Jones II A Ghost In Week 11 Loss
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II rushed for just 13 yards on four attempts, while also adding two catches for one yard in the Bucs loss to the Saints. The Bucs were down 20-0 midway through the second quarter, and that all but sealed Jones' fate for the rest of the afternoon. Fantasy... Read More
Jeff Driskel Solid In Lions Loss
Detroit Lions backup quarterback Jeff Driskel did his best on a day where the Lions Defense was nowhere to be seen, but it was ultimately not enough to get the win. Driskel completed 15-of-26 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns, while also adding 51 rushing yards and a score on the ground in the... Read More
Bo Scarbrough Scores In Lions Debut
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough took control of the Lions backfield in Week 11, rushing 14 times for 55 yards and a touchdown in the loss.

Marvin Jones Scores Twice In Week 11 Loss
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones had a big day in the Lions Week 11 loss to the Cowboys, catching 4-of-5 targets for 43 yards and two scores on the day.

Kenny Golladay Quiet In Week 11
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay caught 1-of-5 targets for 34 yards in the Lions Week 11 loss to the Cowboys. Backup quarterback Jeff Driskel targeted Golladay, Marvin Jones, and Danny Amendola the same amount of times on Sunday. Not exactly what fantasy owners were hoping for. Without Matthew Stafford (back) under center, Golladay's fantasy... Read More
Jeff Driskel To Start In Week 11
Detroit Lions backup quarterback Jeff Driskel will get the start in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys with starting quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) ruled out.

Peyton Barber Not An Appealing Week 11 Option
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber took over in Week 10 after Ronald Jones II fumbled late in the fourth quarter, which puts the Bucs backfield right back where it started, a frustrating timeshare. Jones and Barber had the same amount of touches in Week 10, but Jones was clearly the go-to on passing... Read More
Jameis Winston Not A Recommended Week 11 Start
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston will have a home matchup against the Saints this weekend.

J.D. McKissic A Solid Option In Week 11
Detroit Lions running back J.D. McKissic could be in for a very large workload in Week 11 with Ty Johnson (concussion) likely sitting out.

T.J. Hockenson Will Look To Get Rolling In Plus Week 11 Matchup
Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson will likely be without his starting quarterback in Week 11, but against a Cowboys squad that is one of the worst at defending tight ends, that might not matter. Hockenson has gone five games without a touchdown, and if there was ever a time to get back on... Read More
Marvin Jones A WR3 In Week 11 Matchup
Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones did not seem to be affected much in Week 10 without his starting quarterback.

Jones has a tougher task on hand in Week 11 with the Dallas Cowboys coming to town,... Read More
Kenny Golladay Has Tough Week 11 Matchup
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has a tough task ahead of him in Week 11. The Lions will take on the Dallas Cowboys this weekend, and it's very likely that starting quarterback Matthew Stafford (back, hip) will be on the sidelines. Without Stafford at the helm, Golladay will likely be in for a rough... Read More
Peyton Barber Scores In Bucs Win
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber led the Bucs in rushing yards in their Week 10 win over the Cardinals.

Ronald Jones II Impresses In Expanded Role
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II was expected to lead the Bucs backfield in touches in Week 10, and although he did, the results were mixed.
