Watt<\/strong> and <strong>Nick Herbig<\/strong> but still managed to pressure Goff on 38.6% of his dropbacks.<\/p>\n<p>When Goff was pressured on Sunday, he was 9 of 19 (47.4%) for 89 yards (4.7 Y\/A).<\/p>\n<p>Kept clean, he was 25 of 35 (71.4%) for 275 yards (7.9 Y\/A) with 3 touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goff is a volume-based option on the QB1\/QB2 line here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Keeping him clean with a challenge against Minnesota, which has been dominant on defense since these teams last played.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past seven games, Minnesota is third in pressure rate (43.3%), allowing a 56% completion rate (2nd), 5.9 Y\/A (3rd), and a league-low 0.5% touchdown rate.<\/p>\n<p>The Vikings have not allowed a touchdown pass since Week 10.<\/p>\n<p>There are some differences from the first game,\u00a0with <strong>Dan Campbell<\/strong> being the offensive coordinator in the rematch.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell has been pass-heavy since Detroit has struggled to run the football.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit is seventh in pass rate over expectations since Campbell took over play calling (+2.7%).<\/p>\n<p>The Lions are 28th in rushing success rate (33.3%) over the past four weeks.<\/p>\n<p>When these teams played in Week 9, Detroit rushed 20 times for 65 yards (3.3 YPC).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Max Brosmer: <\/strong>With<strong> J.J. McCarthy<\/strong> unable to get healthy on a short week, Brosmer is in line to make another start.<\/p>\n<p>In his first career start, Brosmer was 19 of 30 (63.3%) for 126 yards (4.2 Y\/A) with 4 interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>Taking over in the second half, Brosmer was 7 of 9 (77.8%) for 52 yards (5.8 Y\/A).<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota only had a 37% dropback rate in the second half, operating hyper-conservatively against a listless Giants offense.<\/p>\n<p>It is fair to assume that Brosmer and this passing game will be pushed more here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brosmer is only an option for desperate 2QB teams and can be used as a cheap play in Thursday DFS.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At least this is a better spot than when Brosmer made his first career start in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit has allowed 8.2 yards per pass attempt (30th) and a 5.3% touchdown rate (22nd) to passers over their past seven games.<\/p>\n<h2>Running Back<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Jahmyr Gibbs:<\/strong> It was not pretty, but Gibbs got there for fantasy gamers in the end on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs only managed to rush for 2 yards on 7 attempts against Pittsburgh, but he made up for things through the air, catching 10 of 13 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>The rushing issues for this offense have been ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past four weeks, Gibbs has rushed 52 times for 151 yards (2.9 YPC) with a 21.2% success rate.<\/p>\n<p>Only <strong>Quinshon Judkins<\/strong> has a lower yards per carry average (2.8 YPC) over that span among 24 backs with 50 or more runs, while that success rate is last among that group.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Gibbs has seen a spike in overall usage since Campbell took over the offense.<\/p>\n<p>Gibbs has played 72.1% of the offensive snaps with 69.5% of the backfield touches since Week 10 after playing 61.5% of the snaps with 57% of the touches prior.<\/p>\n<p>He has made up for the lack of rushing success through the air.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past seven games, Gibbs leads all running backs in receptions (43) and receiving yards (363) with 3 touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>He has 21.7% of the targets (RB1) with a target on 29.1% of his routes (RB2) over that period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>We could need that here for Gibbs as a volume-based RB1 with added ceiling if he finds rushing efficiency.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When these teams met in Week 9, Flores gave Gibbs fits, which led to Campbell taking over.<\/p>\n<p>He only managed 12 touches for 28 yards in the first game, by far his lowest total of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota shut him down in the run game for 25 yards and 2.8 yards per rush while attacking him in the passing game.<\/p>\n<p>The Vikings sent pressure after pressure in the middle of the field, forcing Gibbs to pick up blitzes.<\/p>\n<p>He ended up in pass protection on a career-high 15 snaps that game, allowing 7 pressures.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell said afterwards that they did a poor job of in-game calibration, having their 200-pound back forced to take that much punishment.<\/p>\n<p>Minnesota is undoubtedly going to blitz a ton again here, but I would not anticipate Gibbs being forced in similar assignments to the same degree as the first outing.<\/p>\n<p>With McCarthy out, Detroit could outright control the game script, pushing the ground game even if that does not come with efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The Vikings are a run funnel.<\/p>\n<p>Teams are throwing the ball 3.3% below expectations against them, ahead of only Buffalo (-4%).<\/p>\n<p>The Vikings allow the fewest fantasy points per touch to running backs (0.70) but face the most touches per game (29.9) from backfields.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aaron Jones: <\/strong>Jones had a season-high 23 touches for 93 yards on Sunday against the Giants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jordan Mason<\/strong> was injured on the opening drive of the game and carted off with an ankle injury.<\/p>\n<p>Jones also had an early ankle injury, but he was able to return and control the backfield.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zavier Scott<\/strong> only had 3 touches for 12 yards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Assuming that Mason will not suit up on a short week, Jones is a volume-based RB2 here<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The downside is the offense could be volatile overall with Brosmer.<\/p>\n<p>Jones had success when these teams met in Week 9, rushing 9 times for 78 yards and catching 2 passes for 20 yards before leaving the game with a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n<p>Detroit has had a rough couple of weeks against opposing backfields.<\/p>\n<p>After allowing 159 yards and 3 touchdowns to the Rams backfield in Week 15, Detroit allowed 279 yards and 3 touchdowns to the Pittsburgh backfield on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>David Montgomery: <\/strong>Montgomery only had 4 touches for 14 yards on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>With Detroit forced into a trailing script again, we saw little of Montgomery.<\/p>\n<p>Since Campbell took over the offense, Montgomery has only played 30.6% of the offensive snaps with 25.9% of the backfield touches while trailing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Montgomery is only averaging 8.4 touches per game over that span, leaving him as a touchdown-dependent FLEX.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A few things could help facilitate touches for Montgomery here.<\/p>\n<p>The first is if Detroit plays out in front.<\/p>\n<p>Montgomery jumps to 45% of the snaps and 41.2% of the backfield touches when playing ahead on the scoreboard since Campbell took over.<\/p>\n<p>The other is that if Flores attempts to spam interior blitzes again, which then forces Detroit to use the bigger-bodied Montgomery more.<\/p>\n<p>In the first matchup, they transitioned late to that approach, with Montgomery being the more effective back, turning 13 touches into 50 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n<h2>Wide Receiver<\/h2>\n\t\t<div id=\"sharp-email-gate\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"sharp-email-gate-heading\">THE PREVIEW CONTINUES BELOW, KEEP READING FOR FREE<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<p
