Detroit @ Dallas
Team Totals: Lions 28, Cowboys 24.5
Tied for Week 6’s highest-totaled contest, Lions-Cowboys is a game to lean heavily into in fantasy-lineup decisions. Detroit returns from its Week 5 bye at full strength with All-Pro C Frank Ragnow (pec) back against a Dallas defense missing DE DeMarcus Lawrence (foot, I.R.), DE Marshawn Kneeland (meniscus surgery), and potentially DE Micah Parsons (high ankle sprain). Jared Goff’s lack of dual-threat value always curtails his box-score ceiling, but this game’s track-meet projection plus Detroit’s vast health advantage renders Goff a shoo-in fantasy starter. … Averaging 18 touches per game in the NFL’s seventh-highest-scoring offense, David Montgomery is an every-week RB2 starter with touchdown-driven RB1 upside. Montgomery ranks No. 4 in the league in carries inside opposing 5-yard lines (6) despite Detroit’s early-season bye. The Cowboys have allowed the NFL’s fourth-most fantasy running back points. … Jahmyr Gibbs drew zero passing-game targets in Weeks 3-4, necessitating correction from OC Ben Johnson during Detroit’s Week 5 bye. Dallas has conceded the NFL’s sixth-most receiving yards to enemy running backs (222). Either way, this is an eruption spot for Gibbs with fresh post-bye legs against a short-handed defense.
