Detroit visits Chicago in a Week 2 clash that centers on Detroit’s run-first attack and Chicago’s injury-driven interior front. Amon-Ra St. Brown figures prominently in the Lions’ target distribution, while Gibbs and Montgomery are expected to shoulder the backfield workload. Grady Jarrett’s knee and Kyler Gordon’s hamstring add uncertainty to Chicago’s front, amplifying fantasy implications around Lions’ ground game and St. Brown’s slot usage.

Kevin Byard underscored the defense’s mandate to stop the run, a theme that shapes both teams’ plans. For fantasy managers, Lions backfield volatility and St. Brown’s high-slot target share loom large, while Jarrett’s status and Bears’ up-front injuries become key injury levers in projections.
