Matthew Stafford A Risky Start In Week 9
6 years agoDetroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford has a tough matchup this week on the road at Minnesota. Historically, Stafford isn't great on the road, and the Vikings allow just 17.7 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. While he just lost his safety net in Golden Tate to a trade, this means he will get to target Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay more. Both receivers are great talents and have proven their big-play ability this year, so it will be interesting to see how the offense changes without Tate. While there is a good chance that Detroit will be playing from behind, count Stafford as a low-end QB1 this week.
