The Fantasy playoffs couldn't have come at a better time for owners of Lions prolific quarterback Matthew Stafford.
First of all, Stafford is enjoying a great season despite a recent spate of interceptions. He has completed 296 of 500 passes for 3,825 yards, 27 touchdowns and 14 picks. He is coming off a 330-yard, three-score performance against Green Bay on turkey day.
Adding optimism is that Week 14 foe Philadelphia has played matador pass defense all season. The Eagles rank dead last in the NFL in passing yards allowed (3,561) and 17th in touchdowns given up through the air (20). They only have 29 sacks, which indicates that Stafford should have plenty of time to throw. They have yielded at least 236 passing yards in every game this season.
It all adds up to a potentially explosive game for Stafford, who is ranked among the top three NFL quarterbacks this week by the CBSSports.com senior Fantasy writers. Just stick Stafford in your lineups and watch the points roll in.
