Fantasy Impact:

Stafford's struggles can be directly tied to Calvin Johnson's nagging ankle injury. Johnson aggravated the injury in Week 5 against the Bills, leaving Stafford unable to get things going. He did have an eight-yard touchdown pass to Eric Ebron reversed after replay, but that's little consolation to fantasy owners. Hopefully he and the rest of the Lions can get back on track in Week 6 against Minnesota.
