How dare SportsEthos make a Bears fan write about this game. I was actually higher on both of these teams than my Bears heading into the season and that has been the case so far with both teams sitting at 2-1 and the Bears looking like a high school team. This will be an important game for these two teams as they battle it out in the NFC North.

Main Storylines to Watch

Running Back Room Committee Blues: For the Lions, we have to keep watching the running back situation. Which guy gets a majority of the touches and in what situations? David Montgomery looked like the guy to own, and Jahmyr Gibbs had trouble running between the tackles sans Montgomery, so that’s probably what we’ll see here. Monty was the guy at the goalline, and that makes me happy after touting him all preseason.

Rookie Tight End Frenzy: This is pertinent to both teams as Sam LaPorta and Luke Musgrave are both knocking on the door of fantasy relevancy, bucking the trend that everyone was SO sure about in preseason that rookie tight ends don’t contribute. LaPorta should already be owned everywhere and Musgrave is worth a stream if you’re streaming that position. This isn’t exactly hidden knowledge, so I’ll just put it up top for all you freebies.

Christian Watson’s Return: There were high hopes for Watson preseason and he’s making his season debut today. The way the Packers have put up points has been encouraging, so we would guess that Watson will be in for some big games. The big question is: Who falls in fantasy relevancy with his return? It’s pretty safe to assume Romeo Doubs takes a smaller role, but can Musgrave hang on to his target share?
