4 years agoDetroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb) and kicker Matt Prater (back) have both been given the green light to suit up for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers by virtue of their absence from the inactive list. Stafford has continued to play through myriad injuries, which makes him something of an unknown from a fantasy perspective. He has thrown at least 31 passes in every game this season, the only question becomes how effective those pass attempts will be. As for Prater, a back injury is never ideal for a kicker, especially one who has missed an extra point in two of his past three games. While the massive leg and field-goal frequency of Detroit's kicker gives him fantasy appeal, he'll carry risk in Week 16.--Jesse Borek
