Minnesota @ Detroit
Team Totals: Vikings 30, Lions 23.5
Even with nothing on the line, this is a ceiling spot for Kirk Cousins beneath Detroit’s Ford Field dome facing a Lions defense that can’t rush the QB, doesn’t stop the run, and covers nobody on the backend. Four of the last five quarterbacks to face Detroit banked top-three fantasy finishes, while Cousins has slayed the Lions for 82-of-112 passing (73%), 1,053 yards (9.4 YPA), and an 11:0 TD-to-INT ratio over these clubs’ last four meetings. Vikings team stacks are wholly DFS-tournament viable. … Dalvin Cook’s (personal) absence positions Alexander Mattison, Mike Boone, and Ameer Abdullah to form a three-way RBBC wherein Mattison is Minnesota’s favorite for early-down and goal-line carries, Boone mixes in as an explosive change up, and Abdullah takes care of obvious passing situations. Mattison’s box-score ceiling is highest facing a Lions defense that has surrendered 26 running back touchdowns in 15 games.
