Matthew Stafford, Bruce Ellington Active
6 years agoDetroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back), wide receiver Bruce Ellington (back) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) are active in Week 14 against the Cardinals. Stafford is running out of playmakers on offense due to injuries and trades, so even in a good matchup he'll be a mediocre QB2 play this weekend. Ellington has an opportunity to be a bigger part of the offense with Marvin Jones out for the year. Ellington has seen a big increase in targets in recent weeks but hasn't done much with them, making him a low-end WR4/flex in PPR leagues. Roberts is a red zone weapon for Stafford but is a touchdown-dependent TE2. Receiver Brandon Powell (calf) is inactive, which is good news for TJ Jones in three-receiver sets.
