Jeff Driskel Fantasy

The Detroit Lions placed quarterback Jeff Driskel (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Saturday and signed quarterback Kyle Sloter to the active roster from the Cardinals practice squad in a corresponding move. Detroit also signed quarterback Joe Callahan to the practice squad. Driskel wasn't terrible in a couple outings in place of Matthew Stafford (back), and he showed an ability to use his legs to extend plays. David Blough exceeded expectations on Thanksgiving in the loss to the Bears, but he'll be a low-end QB2 for however long Stafford remains out. Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones both found the end zone in Blough's first start, but don't expect that kind of high-end production the rest of the way if Blough closes out the year under center.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jeff Driskel (hamstring) and rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) are both questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Bears. Driskel was limited in practice all week, while Hockenson got in a full practice on Wednesday. Barring any late setbacks, we'd expect both players to suit up on Thanksgiving. In a tough matchup with the Bears D, Detroit's offense will likely struggle to move the ball effectively throughout the day. Driskel will be a low-end QB2 at less than 100 percent, and Hockenson is a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE2 this week.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jeff Driskel struggled against the Redskins in Week 12, throwing three interceptions in the team's 19-16 loss. Driskel completed 20-of-33 passes in the game for 207 yards and a touchdown. He also added 63 rushing yards. His fantasy day wasn't a complete disaster, but given the favorable matchup and his solid showing against the Cowboys last week, the game comes off as a bit of a disappointment. Matthew Stafford (back) will likely be out again in Week 13, which would put Driskel in line for a matchup against the Bears on Thanksgiving.
