This is a defining week for many fantasy football teams, especially in leagues where it's the last week of the regular season.
There is little margin for error at this point, although fantasy owners with their backs against the wall should be open to high-risk, high-reward shots in their lineups.
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Kenny Golladay is making quite an impression on his fellow receivers in Detroit.
The second-year wideout had four catches for 98 yards and a touchdown Sunday in the Lions' 31-23 victory over Green Bay. He also had a touchdown called back because of a penalty.
DETROIT (AP) — The Detroit Lions have beaten Aaron Rodgers- and Tom Brady-led teams this season.
And yes, they still have a losing record.
Detroit has provided glimpses of its potential, beating the Green Bay Packers 31-23 on Sunday in their first home game since dominating the New England Patriots.
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — When Kenny Golladay caught two touchdown passes in his first exhibition game, he became a rookie to watch for the Detroit Lions.
After he repeated the feat in his regular-season debut, there's no telling how high expectations might soar for the young receiver.
"When I got to training camp, I realized this was real, and again in Indianapolis at the first preseason game, but this was a whole new level," Golladay said. "This game counted, and that's a rush."
The rookies stole the show in Week 1.
After Kareem Hunt's record-setting debut in Kansas City's stunning win at New England on Thursday night, several players had impressive first games Sunday.
Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, younger brother of J.J. Watt, recorded two sacks and an interception in Pittsburgh's 21-18 win over Cleveland. Still, he wasn't satisfied.
DETROIT (AP) — Matthew Stafford was forced to play defense after his first pass of the season, and failed to stop an opponent from returning his interception for a touchdown.
Like the rest of the Detroit Lions, he knows how to bounce back.
Stafford threw two of his four touchdown passes to rookie Kenny Golladay in the fourth quarter, helping Detroit rally to beat the Arizona Cardinals 35-23 on Sunday.
"We just have to get out of our own way earlier," Stafford said.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jake Rudock showed the Detroit Lions he could fill in for Matthew Stafford — if needed.
The Indianapolis Colts, meanwhile, are still looking for an answer behind Andrew Luck.
Rudock took advantage of the injury-depleted Colts by throwing two touchdown passes to Kenny Golladay, driving the Lions to a short field goal and leading them to a 24-10 victory in the preseason opener on Sunday.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Kenny Golladay was an average-sized, late-developing football player while growing up on Chicago's South Side, where North Dakota coaches came and offered him a scholarship.
No one else wanted him.
Golladay, who was a 5-foot-11, 175-pound wide receiver back then, accepted his only option and shot up about 5 inches over two years in the northern Great Plains.
