The Lions may be getting some reinforcements in the next couple of days. Receiver Nate Burleson (forearm) could be back next week against Tampa Bay.
Fantasy Impact:
Don't forget, with the Thanksgiving Day game on the horizon, the Lions will play their next two games — against Tampa Bay and then Green Bay — in the next 11 days. Barring any setbacks next week, Burleson should be back to full strength and able to play in both of those games. Burleson is worth taking a shot on if you're hurting at WR. The Lions face some tough rushing defenses down the stretch which could mean more throwing opportunities.
