Eric Ebron ($5,400) – If you can’t find the room to put Gronkowski in, take a look at Eric Ebron. Having Nate Allen back from injury and Travis Carrie moving back to his natural position is going to help solidify the defensive backfield, but the Lions are a team capable of exploding and putting up a few numbers. As always, good luck this week!

“We’re still even-keel”, left tackle Donald Penn said Sunday.
Tom Brady, New England Patriots, $8,500 – First things first, I need to get this out of my system and say the Patriots should not be undefeated. The NY Giants had that game in their hands (literally in their hands) and they let it slip away. “The second one was pretty obvious to me”.
Brady lost his top receiver last week, Julian Edelmen, and will now be rolling with Danny Amendola as his replacement. It’s the same answer Del Rio gave when Oakland couldn’t cover tight ends earlier in the season. When the two teams meet at Ford Field on Sunday afternoon one team attempt to keep their postseason hopes alive, while the other hopes to earn a positive result in a highly disappointing season. What do you expect to see?
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers, $7,500 – Unlike Tom Brady, starting Aaron Rodgers this week comes with a good amount of risk.
The Detroit Lions and the Oakland Raiders have been two of the National Football League’s worst teams over the last decade.
“Well, you know, I think he’s, just like anything else, he’s developing”.
On the left of Stafford and the offensive line, four pass catchers were lined up in a diamond formation. The final two plays were Matt Stafford scrambles, including the touchdown from five yards out.
“For me, that drive was a we’ve-got-to-go-get-a-touchdown because of who we’re playing and where we are and all that kind of stuff”, he said. The last time we played Detroit was back in 2011.
For two straight games, the Lions have shaken off the bad start, become more aggressive and made the most of their talent.
NOTES: Detroit’s Golden Tate had eight receptions for 73 yards and Johnson made five catches for 88 yards…. The Lions improved to 3-0 when running at least 20 times.
Like Monty Python’s Black Knight, the Cowboys have stood in front of their opponents for the last seven games with their arms lopped off, insisting “I’m invincible!”
“We knew what the challenge was going to be”, Mack said. Ryan and the Falcons take on the Andrew Luck-less Indianapolis Colts, a matchup that should heavily favor the Falcons.
In Detroit, Musgrave is getting the league’s twenty-fifth ranked defense.
Charcandrick West ($7,100) – Over the last three weeks, since West has been implemented as the lone starter, he hasn’t had fewer than 24 touches in that span. Not only is he seeing a lot of touches, he has been productive with them, and not just against easy defenses.
Just four minutes later, the Lions picked up a team safety to make it 18-13.

You can boil down the Raiders’ 30-14 loss to Minnesota about a thousand different ways, and I’m sure everybody associated with the franchise will do exactly that. The Lions’ cornerbacks have to play well to limit Raiders wide receivers Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree, so the team will hope cornerback Nevin Lawson is available after suffering a concussion Sunday.
