Atlanta Falcons at Detroit Lions

Falcons: No major injuries
Lions: RB David Montgomery (Doubtful), WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (Questionable), WR Josh Reynolds (Questionable)

Analysis: David Montgomery, dealing with a thigh injury, was most likely missing this game so managers should have been prepared for that. St. Brown and Reynolds have been the top two targets in the Lions' passing game this season, so this offense could be severely hampered on Sunday.

Even if you are desperate, someone like Kalif Raymond should only be in your lineup if you have nothing else, though he could be a good DFS play. However, rookie tight end Sam LaPorta could be a very good option as Jared Goff is going to have to go somewhere with the ball.

New Orleans Saints at Green Bay Packers

Saints: RB Jamaal Williams (OUT)
Packers: No major injuries

Analysis: There isn't a whole lot to cover here other than Jamaal Williams missing the game with a hamstring injury. The Saints' backfield has already been a rollercoaster ride this season and the team likely can't wait to get Alvin Kamara back.

However, rookie Kendre Miller, who looked good in the preseason, will be up for this game ready to make his pro debut and if you have him, he is a good play this week.
