This final week with byes kicks off with a great matchup on Thursday night as the Green Bay Packers head to Detroit to battle the Lions. Both teams made the playoffs in 2023 and both are on track for a return in 2024. The Lions sit at 11-1 and are tied for the best record in the NFL, while the 9-3 Packers have a great record but sit in third place in their own division.

Both teams played and won on Thanksgiving, so both are coming into this game on a full week’s rest. But both are banged up. The Lions’ defense, particularly up front, looks like a MASH unit, while the Packers will be without Romeo Doubs and Jaire Alexander. That adds a wrinkle to what figures to be one of the best matchups of Week 14.

For the Packers, Jordan Love is a low-end QB1. In the backfield, Josh Jacobs is having a great season and has been on fire of late. He comes into the game a little banged up, but he’s still one of the best backs in the league. He’s a low-end RB1 for me. In the passing game, I like Jayden Reed the best. He’s a WR2 for me. Tucker Kraft is having a solid season, giving him low-end TE1 upside for me. Christian Watson is a boom-or-bust WR3, while Dontavyion Wicks is a flex option for me.

For the Lions, Jared Goff is having a great season. He’s a low-end QB1 for me as well. In the passing game, Amon-Ra St. Brown is a WR1 and should have a nice game, especially with Alexander out. I like Jameson Williams as a flex play and Sam LaPorta as a low-end TE1. In the backfield, it’s all about Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Both are RB1s for me and both should be in your fantasy lineup.

Now, on to the Week 14 picks.
