From the article

Detroit has been vulnerable to tight ends, ranking first in half PPR points allowed at 24.7 points per game. Over the last four weeks, the Lions have surrendered big games to Kenyon Sadiq (20.0 half PPR points), Trey McBride (17.1), Teagan Quitoriano (14.5!!!!), and Tucker Kraft (12.8). Their return of S Brian Branch should help alleviate this production, however. Minnesota travels to Detroit as 3-point road underdogs with an implied team total of 21.75 points (19th).

Lions rank 1st in TE points allowed (24.7/game); Branch return may help but matchup remains soft.
