What to expect against the spread (ATS)? 9-7
Fantasy Outlook:
QB:
Matthew Stafford - Top 10 - Stafford always puts up numbers and this offense was 7th in the league in points per game last year. He still has his Tate/Jones go to guys and also Kenny Golladay who I am expecting to have a good year.

WR:
Golden Tate / Marvin Jones - Top 30 - You can’t go wrong with either one of these guys. I would lean on Tate in a full PPR league because I expect him to get more catches but Jones should get more deep balls and have more of the BOOM aspect.
Kenny Golladay - Sleeper - I think he is going to have a big year.
RB:
Legarrette Blount - You know what they say, keep the blount rolling. He’s not on anyone’s fantasy radar but I think he has potential to have a solid year with this offense.
Riddick/Johnson - both of these guys will be good catching passes out of the backfield.
TE:
Nothing worth taking to start the year.
Up next:
Buffalo Bills
