It is not going to get any easier for the Lions this week as they have to find a way to prevent Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller from having a monster performance.
Fantasy Impact: In his second season as the Bears’ starting tight end, Miller could be in for a career year in 2016. If he keeps up with his current pace, Miller could finish the season with career highs in catches, receiving yards, and touchdowns.
This Sunday against Detroit, he has a very good chance to make his 2016 stat sheet look even more impressive.
The Lions are giving up the most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season, which includes five touchdown receptions. There is no reason for any fantasy owners to keep Miller on their bench this week.
