Matthew Stafford News
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb/ribs/ankle) is officially active for Sunday's meeting with the Minnesota Vikings. Stafford was limited in practice all week but will make the start this week. The Lions offense doesn't have a lot of weapons right now, so Stafford should be considered a QB2 play, even against a Vikings Defense that has struggled at times.
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb) is expected to play against the Vikings in Week 17. Stafford was forced to exit last week's loss to the Buccaneers with an ankle injury, another ailment in addition to the rib and thumb injuries he's been managing. He's thrown for just two scores in his last two full games, a definite sign that he's been hampered on the field by these injuries. It's a plus matchup for Stafford and the Lions' offense, as the Vikings' pass defense ranks 24th in the NFL. Still, there are better options in DFS this week than Stafford, who is more of a QB2 even in a good matchup.
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb, ankle) will reportedly start against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17, barring any overnight setbacks. Stafford is dealing with several injuries, most recently an ankle injury that forced him out of his Week 16 game during the first quarter The Lions are already eliminated from playoff contention and have nothing to play for, but Stafford wants to be out there for the season finale. His return to action would be a boost to a Detroit offense that struggled under Chase Daniel and David Blough last week after Stafford departed. Treat him as a mid-range QB2 in a plus matchup and bump up the rest of the Detroit skill players in fantasy if he does in fact start on Sunday.
