Detroit @ Minnesota
Team Totals: Vikings 28.25, Lions 24.75
Matthew Stafford visits Minnesota missing difference-making WR Kenny Golladay (hip), without whom Stafford managed Weeks 1-2 fantasy finishes of QB21 and QB19 in losses to Chicago and Green Bay in which Detroit eked out 23 and 21 points. (They’ve otherwise averaged 26.6 points per game.) The Lions’ vertical passing offense was reduced to a low-aDOT, checkdown “attack” sans its downfield playmaker. Sunday’s matchup with a Vikings defense that can’t rush the passer and is allowing the NFL’s fourth-most fantasy QB points gives Stafford streamer life, but his non-Golladay ceiling is capped. … Even as D’Andre Swift set a season high in snaps (62%) for the third straight game in Week 8’s loss to Indy, Swift finished with 10 touches or fewer for the fifth time in seven appearances and drew a disappointing four targets in a negative-script affair where Stafford dropped back a season-high 47 times.
