START ‘EM

Quarterback. Lions. Matthew Stafford. 1. player. 50.

In one of the few meaningless games this weekend, Matthew Stafford and his Lions will play for pride against the Packers. Stafford hasn’t really lived up to his giant contract this season and as a result, Detroit missed the postseason.

This week, however, Stafford could be a nice option in that QB1 spot. The Packers defense has been bad this year and Stafford tends to capitalize on mistakes that bad defenses make.

While there isn’t anything on the line in this game, Stafford has a chance to knock off a team that’s pretty much had his number throughout his entire career. That makes him a great fantasy quarterback to have in your lineup this week.
