Johnson is expected to start against Tampa Bay on Sunday. (SportsBuff.com)

Hanson is a decent No. 1 option at kicker for Week 12 against Tampa Bay. (SportsBuff.com)

Johnson is the lone bright spot for the woeful Lions and is a must-start in all formats. (SportsBuff.com)

Culpepper is one a horrible team and he is new to the system, so search for any other QB. (SportsBuff.com)

Freeney has battled injuries all year but has played well with seven sacks and three forced fumbles. Freeney will play in Week 12 against the Chargers. (SportsBuff.com)

Here's one thing you can say about Matt Millen - he kept trying until he got it right. Johnson was the fourth wide receiver he selected in the first round and he is a stud. Now, if the Lions could field a competent team around him. (SportsBuff.com)

With the Lions brass finally coming to their senses and giving the young fella the ball, Smith is producing. He has 208 yards over the last two weeks and has scored five times this season. (SportsBuff.com)

It's hard to believe that it was just five years ago that Culpepper threw for 39 TD's with the Vikings. He's been with four teams since then and is simply not a very effective QB. (SportsBuff.com)

Gonzalez is a decent option. (SportsBuff.com)

Mathis is a solid IDP line starter against the Texans. Go ahead and use him. (SportsBuff.com)

There hasn't been any particular reported setback, so it seems like Sanders will probably play. We'll keep an eye out on Sunday morning. (SportsBuff.com)

Wayne is a must-start fantasy option when healthy and should definitely be in your starting lineup. (SportsBuff.com)

Culpepper completed only five out of ten passes for 104 yards and one interception against Jacksonville last Sunday. Culpepper does not have a good matchup and should not be started against the Panthers. (SportsBuff.com)

Look for Smith to get the bulk of the carries for the rest of the season as the Lions try to build towards next season. (SportsBuff.com)

Look for Johnson to continue to rack up points but do not be surprised if opposing teams start triple-teaming him. (SportsBuff.com)

Culpepper is likely to find himself back in the unemployment line sooner than later. The only thing that could make Culpepper a decent play is if he is a quick study with the playbook in Detroit. (SportsBuff.com)

Johnson is proof that you can have a terrible QB and still be a productive receiver. He is a clear building block for the Lions and after drafting four receivers in the first round in the last decade, it looks like they finally got it right. (SportsBuff.com)

It's about time that the Lions gave Smith the rock consistently. He has five TD's on the season and seeing as the Lions have already been mathematically eliminated from the Playoffs (OK, well, maybe not mathematically), they should see what their young players can do. (SportsBuff.com)

At this point, the Lions should be encouraged by any player - other than Calvin Johnson - putting up numbers. Stanton, a rookie from Michigan State, may get an opportunity to play more in the near future. (SportsBuff.com)

Culpepper was benched in the fourth quarter when the game was out of hand. Because Drew Stanton showed something (anything!) in the fourth quarter, he may get the start next week against the Panthers. (SportsBuff.com)

Such a situation at quarterback could finally drive the team to give Smith a real workload in the running game. He's a decent starting option against a disappointing Jaguars defense that let Cedric Benson go for 100 yards last week. Smith has scored in three of the past five games. (SportsBuff.com)

It's silly that Marinelli thinks his team will gain some advantage by keeping the Jags guessing about whether they'll have to defend against Daunte Culpepper or Drew Stanton. If the team really doesn't know yet who will start, there'd be no harm in saying that. As for Orlovsky, we might find out later in the week if he'll be done for the year. (SportsBuff.com)

Furrey will also benefit from the addition of Culpepper. He has always had the ability to run good routes and keep the chains moving. (SportsBuff.com)

Johnson could benefit greatly from the addition of Culpepper to the Lions offense. (SportsBuff.com)

A Culpepper to Calvin Johnson hook-up is what everyone in Detroit is expecting. Remember, this is a winless team playing a tough Jacksonville pass defense so be cautious if you consider starting him in Week 10. (SportsBuff.com)

We'll see what's true as the weekend approaches. At the very least, though, it appears that we can forget about Orlovsky as a potential sleeper against a bad Jacksonville defense. (SportsBuff.com)

Harrison is no better than a candidate for a No. 3 fantasy receiver slot each week. (SportsBuff.com)

Those of us who drafted Gonzalez as insurance for Marvin Harrison are now stuck with the weekly crapshoot between the two, trying to guess which (if either) might find the end zone. (SportsBuff.com)

The lack of touchdowns kept it from being a productive fantasy night, but he's a weekly starter nonetheless. (SportsBuff.com)

The weak numbers should have been expected against New England's tough front seven. Addai will have another tough matchup in Week 10 against Pittsburgh. Nevertheless, his fantasy owners should be happy to have him back well in advance of the playoffs. (SportsBuff.com)

That's more like it. (SportsBuff.com)

I am not saying that you should run out and spend all of your waiver wire funds on McDonald, but he does have 11 catches for 133 yards and a TD in the last two games. You could do worse. (SportsBuff.com)

It's pretty clear that Johnson can perform with even the worst QB. Just imagine if he had a decent QB tossing the ball to him... He has six TD's on the season with 29 catches for 588 yards (20.3 ypc). (SportsBuff.com)

The 14 carries represent Smith's high since Week 1 and he may finally be wresting the job away from Rudy Johnson. Smith has four TD's this season and 22 receptions. (SportsBuff.com)

As long as Calvin Johnson is on the field, Orlovsky has minimal value. I wouldn't start him - ever, but there are some leagues - maybe those that start three QB's (which I have never heard of) in which he could have value. (SportsBuff.com)

The fact that game time doesn't come until about 8:15 that night means that fantasy owners will either have to gamble that he'll be available or risk missing his numbers by going ahead and using someone else. For what it's worth, ESPN's John Clayton says the fact that Wayne was "out there trying to do some things" in practice is a bit encouraging. He wouldn't be the first guy to do some practicing and then miss the game, though. (SportsBuff.com)

Sanders has been out since Week 2 but probably wouldn't take too long to round back into valuable IDP form once he returns. It might not hurt to try to wait a week before playing him, but if he's your best option, he's worth a shot. (SportsBuff.com)

The Patriots have not allowed a rushing touchdown since Week 3, so Addai might not be all that strong a fantasy play even if he does return this week. If you can, wait to see him in action before returning him to your lineup. (SportsBuff.com)

Coach Tony Dungy did not give any further insight other than to say Addai is questionable.

Fine or not Peyton and the Colts aren't fine this year and with the Titans at 7-0 the Colts could be looking at the Wild Card if that. (SportsBuff.com)

The safety appears to be nearing a return, but IDP owners should probably wait until he completes a game before putting him back into fantasy lineups. (SportsBuff.com)

Brackett continues to be a good IDP option. (SportsBuff.com)

That, folks, is why you just pick a tight end and leave him alone. Clark went into the Monday night game with no touchdowns for the season. He has caught 15 passes in the past two games. (SportsBuff.com)
