Fantasy Impact
Golden Tate will be the Lions' primary receiver Sunday and should be on the WR1 radar, especially in PPR leagues. Tate currently leads the NFL in yards after catch and has just one drop on the season per Pro Football Focus. Without Megatron the Lions' passing attack has been anemic in the past. Expect Detroit to game plan around getting Tate the ball early and often against a Minnesota defense that ranks in the bottom half of the NFL in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers.
