Ameer Abdullah leads the Lions in rushing attempts with 101 carries on the season. Only 8 of those carries have occurred in the red zone, though, but that's not stopping Abdullah from saying he could be the team's red zone RB, saying "why not?", when talking about the situation.

Abdullah also has 0 carries on third downs this year, but even though the Lions' No. 1 RB believes he's an all-around back, he's not questioning the team's decision making.

"I'm never going to tell the coaches what to do," Abdullah said. "I mean, their job is to put us in situations, and it's my job to execute under any circumstance. It don't matter if he calls me a toss play with no blocking in front of me. I have to do my best. And I'm never going to tell the coaches what they should and shouldn't do."

Abdullah is tied with Dwayne Washington for the most red zone carries on the team (8), but Washington has out-rushed him (19 yards to 2 yards). And, of the team's 20 total red zone rushes, the Lions have only scored twice—Abdullah and Zach Zenner each scoring once.

More red zone carries would obviously benefit Abdullah's fantasy owners, and his elusiveness points to him being able to fill the role—according to Pro Football Focus, Abdullah has 17 broken tackles on the ground this season.

In a great matchup versus the Packers this week, we have Abdullah ranked as a top-20 RB in both standard and PPR formats.

The Lions have gone no huddle on 38.4 percent of their plays this season, more than anyone else in the league. Stafford is 25 of 32 passing for 165 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions when Detroit goes without a huddle this season. They only got away from it last year because all the injuries forced them to roll with younger players who weren't proficient enough in the scheme to pull it off.

If this is the case, then Stafford's fantasy arrow will continue to point up. The knock on him this season was that Detroit would continue to be more of a ball control offense like last season. For Week 3, Stafford is projected in Vegas to be in a shootout at home with the Falcons. He's a solid QB1 this week, and if the no-huddle continues, it's hard to see him not finishing as a top-12 QB for the 5th time in six years.
