Detroit @ Tampa Bay
Team Totals: Lions 23.5, Bucs 20.5
Jared Goff’s career home-road splits speak poorly to his Week 6 outlook, while Tampa Bay’s defense is yielding the NFL’s eighth-fewest points per game (17.0) and is fresh off its bye. The Bucs have given up the league’s ninth-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.0) and just one passing TD per game. … HC Dan Campbell made it clear this week: David Montgomery is the Lions’ bellcow, while rookie Jahmyr Gibbs is a change of pace. And there is no incentive for alteration with Detroit 4-1 and No. 4 in the NFL in points scored. On to-date touch counts of 21 > 17 > 34 > 21, Montgomery is a legit RB1 against a Bucs defense yielding 5.0 yards per carry to RBs. … Gibbs missed early-week practice with the same hamstring injury that cost him Week 5. Craig Reynolds handled seven touches as Detroit’s fill-in No. 2 RB versus Carolina. Gibbs’ status is to be determined; Gibbs’ to-date touch counts are 9 > 14 > 18 (no Montgomery) > 12.
Sidelined for Week 5 by abdomen and toe injuries, Amon-Ra St. Brown looks all systems go after returning to practice early this week. In full-PPR scoring, St. Brown was fantasy’s WR10 in Weeks 1-4, tallying 15+ points in all four games. … The Lions ran a four-man WRBC weave in ARSB’s Week 5 absence involving Marvin Jones, Kalif Raymond, Jameson Williams, and Josh Reynolds.
