| Derek Lofland FantasyPros | Burrow had to go to the hospital with a throat contusion and it remains unclear if he will be cleared to play this week. If he does play, he should be a QB2 on the road against a Lions D that has given up only 62 points in their last three games. | Wentz played his best fantasy game of the season on MNF and looks to keep that going against a Texans team that is 24th against fantasy quarterbacks. |
| Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | When the Lions lost CB Jeff Okudah and edge rusher Romeo Okwara to season-ending Achilles injuries, it seemed as if the Detroit pass defense would be one to target in fantasy. Opponents have indeed been very efficient through the air against Detroit: The Lions' opponent passer rating of 110.9 is third-worst in the league. Yet Detroit is allowing 17.7 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, a below-average total. How can that be? Well, Detroit is the only team in the league to have faced more rushing attempts than passing attempts this season, 147 to 143. The Lions have trailed so often that opponents have been trying to chew clock against them in the second halves of games. Burrow investors could potentially be thwarted by that type of a game script this Sunday, but it's still exciting to think about Burrow throwing to loosely covered WRs Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd. In a way, Burrow's season has mirrored that of the defense he's about to face. His efficiency numbers are impressive - a 71.7% rate, a 7.6% TD rate, and an average of 8.8 yards per pass attempt - but Burrow is tied for 26th in pass attempts with 145. The subdued passing volume has him sitting at QB17 in fantasy scoring. He checks in as the QB11 in this week's rankings. His $6,300 price tag on DraftKings seems a bit too expensive considering the lack of rushing potential. | Wentz played his best game of the young season in Week 5, throwing for 402 yards and two touchdowns against the Ravens on Monday night and staking the Colts to a big lead that they would eventually blow. Wentz completed better than 70% of his throws for a second straight game and averaged 11.5 yards per attempt. I had my doubts about Wentz coming into the season. He looked awful last year, and though the Eagles' injury-riddled offensive line had something to do with that, Wentz played poorly by any measure. So far with the Colts, he's dealt with injuries to teammates and himself, toughing out the last couple of games on two sprained ankles, and has acquitted himself quite well. Wentz is on the verge of getting WR T.Y. Hilton back from IR, and all-pro guard Quenton Nelson is expected back soon as well, so things are looking up. Wentz checks in at QB21 in this week's rankings and is a plausible streaming option in a decent matchup against the Texans. |
