Detroit @ Green Bay
Team Totals: Packers 28, Lions 21.5

Matthew Stafford fell victim to Packers DC Mike Pettine’s pass-stingy, run-funnel defense in his lone 2019 meeting with Green Bay, managing 265 scoreless yards on 32 attempts with a 56.3% completion rate. (Stafford averaged 319.1 yards and 65.3% completions with a 19:5 TD-to-INT ratio in his other seven starts.) Kenny Golladay’s hamstring pull won’t heal in a week, while the Packers’ willingness to concede rushing efficiency in exchange for limiting big passing plays forewarns of a lowered-volume, lowered-ceiling fantasy environment for Stafford. In last year’s starts, Stafford threw 20-plus-yard passes at a league-high 22% clip. That rate plummeted to 7% in Week 1 against the Bears and likely won’t rebound until deep-ball magnet Golladay returns at full health. … Despite dropping Week 1’s would-be game-winning touchdown on a perfect throw from Stafford, D’Andre Swift is Detroit’s lone fantasy-viable back after leading the Lions’ committee in snaps (47%) and targets (5) and punching in a second-quarter goal-line score following a long T.J. Hockenson catch.
