Detroit Lions
Calvin Johnson/Golden Tate (Wide Receivers): Johnson went off in week 6 catching 6 out of 9 balls for 166 yards and a touchdown. A lot of these were deep balls Johnson has not caught all year so don't be surprised if his numbers taper off in week 7. Tate on the other hand saved his fantasy day with a late touchdown however he did also have the same amount of targets and catches as Johnson. Tate only converted that into 40 yards.
Ameer Abdullah/ Theo Riddick (Running Backs): Riddick and Abdullah have been able to get nothing going in this Lions running attack. I wouldn't expect those numbers to change against a stiff Minnesota defense.
Eric Ebron (Tight End): Ebron is returning after a knee injury sidelined him for week 6. Ebron should play a big role in the passing game as Matt Stafford's security blanket.
Minnesota Vikings
Adrian Peterson (Running Back): Peterson had a pretty quiet day but received a ton of carries. Peterson had 26 carries on the day for only 60 yards. He will have some issues against this Lions defense that is generally good against the run but another down game could happen as he has been limited in practice all week.
Stefon Diggs/Mike Wallace/Charles Johnson (Wide Receivers): Diggs had his breakout game in week 6 catching 7 out of 9 targets for 129 yards. Diggs should continue to be featured in the passing game however his chances should go down as Charles Johnson returns to full health. Wallace had a down week thanks to Diggs and may find himself searching for scraps yet again in week 7.
