| Alessandro Miglio Pro Football Focus | “He may get the lion's share of the work this week if the Texans decide to rest Foster.” | “The Lions might be resting Smith, evidenced by their signing of Bell.” |
| Staff Rankings Fantasy Knuckleheads | “With nothing to play for, Tate should either start or get a majority of the carries.” | “Lions are still playing for seeding.” |
| Kevin Roberts NFL Soup | “Could see a ton of work late with Foster unlikely to play the whole game.” |
