Thankfully for Edwards owners he should be ready to go following the week 6 bye. (SportsBuff.com)

Of course, the Lions offense has gone nowhere so far, so coaches would be justified in trying something different no matter the reason. Orlovsky also got hurt late in the game, so we'll have to see who lines up behind center in Week 6. (SportsBuff.com)

Fortunately, the team's bye is coming up next week, so it's possible that Edwards won't miss anymore game action. We'll keep tabs on him for Week 7. (SportsBuff.com)

The Lions do have excellent receivers, so maybe Orlovsky is the one to use that talent. Jon Kitna does not look like he has much left. The Lions are horrible, so they could take a shot with their young QB. (SportsBuff.com)

Kitna had a nice fantasy week in the first game of the season, but has been poor since. He has barely hit on more than half of his passes and has four interceptions compared to two TD's in the last three games. (SportsBuff.com)

Perhaps the firing of Matt Millen will give the Lions organization some new life. Kitna, along with wide receivers Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams, need a big offensive game to have any hope of gaining momentum, and staying competitive in the NFC North. (SportsBuff.com)

Brett Favre lit the Cardinals up for 6 TD's last week and while Trent Edwards is no Brett Favre, he will complete alot of passes in Arizona this week. Look for 5-9 of those passes to go to Evans. (SportsBuff.com)

Rookie Kevin Smith was very outspoken about his unwillingness to give up his starting position to Johnson. Smith's carries, as well as his standing among the coaching staff, have taken a pretty severe hit. (SportsBuff.com)

No word on if this will hurt or help Marshawn Lynch's numbers, however, given Lynch's talent it should not factor too much in his numbers. (SportsBuff.com)

Fortunately, Buffalo's bye comes up in Week 6, so the team's top corner could be out for just a single game. Leodis McKelvin is expected to see the most time in his absence, but Ashton Youboty could work in at the vacant corner spot as well. (SportsBuff.com)

The four touchdowns through the first three weeks mask the fact that Lynch has picked up just 3.5 yards per carry so far. That's not a big surprise based on his weak offensive line, but it's also not too encouraging for sustained success or the potential for any big days. The Rams came into this game yielding 5.1 yards per carry. Of course, the Bills have showed that they'll keep going to Lynch, so he'll be worthwhile when he should end up reaching the end zone more often than he doesn't. (SportsBuff.com)

After Edwards' start to the season, it seemed like he should have done more against a woeful defense in St. Louis. Of course, maybe we were getting a little too excited about a guy who is still in his first full season as a starter. (SportsBuff.com)

It's not a lot of extra work to go to Hardy, but his value for this season lies almost entirely in the possibility of him catching a touchdown pass. The absence of the speedy Parrish hurts the team's ability to score from long distances a little bit, which could also create a couple of extra red-zone chances. (SportsBuff.com)

Parrish isn't much of a fantasy option, so this news is probably more significant for the value of teammate James Hardy. (SportsBuff.com)

Probably won't do too much to help that inept offense. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

He hasn't been much help to IDP owners yet. Whitner's lack of tackles might be attributable to his playing on a good defense, especially because his position places him at the back of most plays. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Although it's nice that Posluszny has already broken up three passes, it would be nicer if he were making more tackles. He has yet to produce more than five solos or six total in a game this season. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Although it's always disappointing, these empty days will happen. Don't let it sour your opinion of Schobel. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Maybe the Browns knew what they were doing after ball when they dealt Bodden and a third-rounder for Shaun Rogers. He's certainly off to a disappointing start in Detroit. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Williams isn't worth owning, but the fact that beat the Jags' interior line for a sack despite coming into the day with two career QB takedowns is worth noting. There's some sleeper value for tackles playing Jacksonville. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

McGee appears to be reclaiming his spot among the top IDP defensive backs. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

White obviously has some pass-rush ability, but it's a bit too early to predict anything big from him. Let's just see how he progresses. If you're desperate for a lineman, though, you could do worse than him against the Niners in Week 3. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The concussion suffered by Gerald Alexander in the game certainly won't hurt Bullocks' chances for playing time. He could work his way into a decent IDP option. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Safety Daniel Bullocks was already slated for more playing time, so when you combine that with the injury -- and the fact that Alexander is nothing special as an IDP anyway -- you have no need for him on your roster. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Don't get too excited about any fantasy value for Williams, but a pocket push from the interior line would help the value of the team's ends. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Such a performance should be considered standard for the Bills' right end. When healthy, he's one of the league's top sack producers. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

He's among the better fantasy options at corner, even when he doesn't return a pick or a kick for a score. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

That kind of thing will happen when a team with no receivers attempts a ridiculous 46 passes on a rainy day in Buffalo. Youboty's status as a sub-package player, though, keeps him from carrying much fantasy value in general. If he works his way into a starting position, we can reassess. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

He began his first season with the Lions with a huge fantasy day against the Raiders in 2007. Since then, though, White has been very ordinary. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

This is a pretty typical day for Smith, making him a decent but not great fantasy option. It's also bad news for the defense when the opposition runs the ball on nearly three-quarters of its plays and your leading tackler is a safety. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Lenon offered just three tackles in the loss to Atlanta, but he makes for a decent IDP play overall. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

He didn't score, but had a pretty good game anyway. Worth keeping an eye on. QB Trent Edwards seems to look his way often. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Lynch will be even better once LT Jason Peters gets back in playing shape. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Crowell had been in and out of practice, but we'd received no indication that season-ending surgery was possible. According to the AP, Coach Dick Jauron told reporters that "it came pretty much out of the blue." Keith Ellison takes over the starting strongside job but has a ways to go before he assumes any of Crowell's fantasy value. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Edwards had been suffering from some sore quadriceps, which had limited him during the preseason. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Bullocks missed all of 2007 with a torn ACL and now sits as no better than the team's No. 3 safety, behind Dwight Smith and Gerald Alexander. The team said when it signed Smith, though, that the hope is to deploy a three-man rotation. That would be good for Bullocks, helping him to get on the field more often, but could ultimately limit the fantasy potential of all three. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

It was assumed early on that Bodden was being held back simply because of Coach Rod Marinelli's policy of not putting new guys in starting roles right away. It's surprising that Bodden's status hasn't changed. He was one of the most productive IDP corners in the league last year, so it would be a significant loss for us if he doesn't crack the lineup. Look for him to pass Travis Fisher at some point. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The second-year safety notched two sacks as a rookie to go with 81 total tackles and two interceptions. More shots at the quarterback could increase his decent IDP value, but the Lions' coverage will have to prove it can hold up. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Lenon quietly turned in a pretty good IDP season last year with 118 tackles (88 solo), two sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception. He's a prime example of why you don't need to reach for defenders. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Coach Rod Marinelli said before the draft that middle linebacker in the Tampa 2 scheme is too tough for a rookie to learn. I guess he wasn't joking. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Reed has been unable to make much of a fantasy impact after looking promising as a rookie. Continue to ignore him. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Edwards should certainly be ready for the opener. Although every bit of game-type action helps as he heads into his first full season as starter, missing a week of the exhibition schedule shouldn't hurt much. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Reed had back surgery in the offseason, so this isn't a good sign. Especially with James Hardy looking to take his starting spot. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

He'll have a tougher time finding his way back into the lineup, with Gerald Alexander and Dwight Smith pretty well set at safety. The Lions could still pursue their plan of rotating the three of them, though. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)
