News: Calvin Johnson lit up the Browns in today's 38-37 win at Ford Field, as he hauled in seven passes for 161 yards and a touchdown. His touchdown covered 75 yards on a strike from rookie quarterback Matthew Stafford. [+]
Impact: The stud receiver performed up to high expectations for fantasy owners in a favorable matchup against Cleveland. He finally reached the endzone after failing to score in his previous five outings, and looks to be past his knee injury. ( Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) |
News: Kevin Smith had a big day for the Lions in Sunday's 38-37 win over Cleveland. He gained 45 rushing yards on 12 carries, and also caught four passes for 104 receiving yards and a touchdown. [+]
Impact: Fantasy owners should be thrilled with 149 total yards and a score from the young running back. Smith will have a much tougher matchup against the Packers on Thanksgiving Day though, meaning he won't likely repeat or exceed today's performance. ( Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) |
News: Matthew Stafford shot down the Browns in Sunday's 38-37 win at Ford Field, as he completed 26-of-43 passes for 422 yards, with five touchdowns and no interceptions. [+]
Impact: We already knew that the Browns' defense was terrible, but this was ridiculous. Regardless, the prized rookie quarterback gave a preview of great things to come. Stafford will try to remain hot in a tough matchup against the rival Packers on Thanksgiving Day. ( Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) | |

Stafford inconsistent; Lions win preseason finale With one perfectly placed pass up the sideline to Calvin Johnson, Matthew Stafford provided a glimpse why he might be ready to be the Lions starter. A few plays later, the No. 1 draft pick showed he still has a way to go after being stripped of the ball.
The interception, a series later, didn't help either.
Stafford was inconsistent yet unfazed by his performance as Detroit (3-1) closed its preseason with a 17-6 win over the Buffalo Bills (1-4) on Thursday night. Full Story

News: Wood was carted off the field in the second half Sunday with a left knee injury. [+]
Impact: It looked pretty serious, as he was down on the field for a long time and it just had that look of a season-ending injury as the players saw him off the field and wished him well. A line that's already messed up just got that much worse if the first-round pick has to miss considerable time. ( RotoWire - Nov 22, 2009) |
News: Updating an earlier report, Eric Wood has a fractured tibia and fibula and is staying in Jacksonville tonight to undergo surgery, according to buffalobills.com. [+]
Impact: With six weeks left in the season its likely that Wood's injury will land him on injured reserve. ( Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) |
News: Terrell Owens reeled in nine balls for 197 yards and a touchdown in the Week 11 loss at Jacksonville. [+]
Impact: T.O. scored on a 98-touchdown reception, which was his second of the season and first since Week 2. And the 100-yard effort was his first as a member of the Bills. Owens has been solid in the last two games, and faces the Dolphins, who are starting two rookie cornerbacks, in Week 12. ( Fanball - Sun. Nov 22, 2009) | |
