Detroit Lions

It's difficult to ignore the arm strength of Lions' Matthew Stafford launching footballs eight times a season at the pass-friendly Ford Field. Despite losing his favourite target Calvin Johnson a season ago, Stafford managed to take matters into his own hands crafting together one of his most efficient seasons in recent memory. He posted over 4,000 passing yards for the sixth straight season while throwing 24 touchdowns to just 10 interceptions. Stafford also averaged a stellar 270 .4 passing yards per game and ranked top-10 in almost every passing category. He's a solid QB1 option and a must start every week. Stafford targeted Golden Tate 135 times in 2016 and Tate produced - racking up 1,077 yards on 91 receptions and 46 first downs. He's the top option among Lions receivers with a high ceiling, however, his inability to find the end zone on a consistent basis hinders his fantasy stock to a high-end WR2. WR Marvin Jones Jr. and TE Eric Ebron finished second and third in receiving yards for the Lions last season, posting 930 and 711 respectively. Though Tate, Jones Jr. and Ebron combined for a measly nine touchdowns, their ability to make plays in the open field and a horrific run game add to their fantasy value. Stafford's cannon of an arm also comes into play, which could result in big gains and added fantasy points. After the season-ending injury to RB Ameer Abdullah, three different Lions had over 80 rushing attempts last season. Theo Riddick led the bunch with a porous 357 yards and will return to a backup role. If Abdullah is declared healthy, he's an adequate RB2 option. Offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter won't change his team's offensive scheme and the pass-heavy offense he has continued to tweak after joining the Lions in 2014 with head coach Jim Caldwell. The Lions are a good football team and will win games through the air while racking up a plethora of fantasy points.
