Tyler Shough will get to attack a Detroit secondary in Week 1 that will be without both its starting safeties (Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch). Shough could be in line for a big day if he can pick up where he left off last year. Last year, in Weeks 12-18, Shough was the QB6 in fantasy points per game while averaging 25 rushing yards per game.

Shough's rushing upside and Detroit's safety injuries set up QB1 potential in Week 1.

Shough will attack a Detroit secondary missing both starting safeties (Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch) in Week 1. Last year in Weeks 12-18, he was QB6 in fantasy points per game while averaging 25 rushing yards per game—a pace that would have ranked 12th-best for the full season. In Weeks 12-18 among 30 qualifying quarterbacks, he was 12th in yards per attempt and highly accurate throw rate, ninth in hero throw rate, and seventh in passing yards per game. Detroit ranked 15th in passing success rate allowed while giving up the fifth-most yards per attempt and 14th-highest CPOE in Weeks 12-18. The source projects Shough could post QB1 numbers in Week 1.
