Detroit @ Minnesota
Team Totals: Lions 25.5, Vikings 22
Jared Goff is a Week 16 wildcard against the blitz-heavy Vikings, who rank a middling 16th in fantasy QB points allowed. Goff’s matchup is negotiable, but he benefits from Sunday’s domed environment plus difference-making C Frank Ragnow’s (knee) return to health. I’m treating Goff as a low-end QB1 starter. … Over his last eight appearances, Jahmyr Gibbs is averaging 17 touches for 105 yards and a touchdown per game. Only four NFL teams have surrendered more running back catches than the Vikings (77), while Gibbs ranks seventh at his position in receptions (47). … Individual matchups favor Gibbs here, yet David Montgomery enters Week 16 averaging 17 touches over his last three appearances. On the season, Montgomery has handled 12 carries inside the opposing 5-yard line. Gibbs has accounted for just five.
Amon-Ra St. Brown has cleared 95 yards and/or scored a touchdown in 12 of 13 games this season. The Vikings have conceded the league’s third-most catches (199) and eighth-most yards (2,317) to wideouts.
