Of course, Detroit has proven they are no pushovers in the 2019 NFL season. They managed to give the Kansas City Chiefs a run for their money in Week 4 and very well may have set the blueprint to slowing down quarterback Patrick Mahomes. It will be interesting to see if they use that same approach against quarterback Aaron Rodgers this time around.

Containing Rodgers is much easier said than done. Although fantasy owners were not happy to see him kept out of the end zone in Week 5, he was still productive enough to get the offense in scoring position to set up the monster four-touchdown day for running back Aaron Jones. Regardless, that could very well change if Rodgers gets his No. 1 weapon back in wide receiver Davante Adams for their tilt against the Lions.
