Chicago at Detroit

Lions

QB Matthew Stafford: Stafford is quietly putting together an MVP-campaign, even if his fantasy numbers haven’t always backed it up. Chicago is a tougher matchup than you might think at first glance, but Stafford should be started at home.

RB Theo Riddick: The Bears are tough against the run, but Riddick’s usage as a runner and receiver offers upside.

WR Marvin Jones: Jones’ early-season form has plummeted. He’s more likely to be on the waiver wire than in starting lineups.

WR Golden Tate: Tate is the WR6 over the past two weeks, but his floor is worryingly low as the Lions spread the ball around. He’s a flex this week.

TE Eric Ebron: The Bears are tough on TEs, and Ebron has largely underwhelmed for fantasy owners. But given the fact TE is such a volatile position, Ebron is worthy of a start due to his touchdown potential.

Bears

QB Matt Barkley: Barkley has surprised a few people since taking over for the injured Jay Cutler, but he shouldn’t be anywhere near your fantasy lineup.

RB Jordan Howard: Howard could win you your fantasy championship, providing John Fox keeps feeding him the ball. His emergence began against Detroit in Week 4, and he’s a high-upside RB2 this week despite the tough matchup.

Bears WRs: No Alshon Jeffery means the Bears WR group is a fantasy wasteland.
