Week Six Answers: Detroit Lions 10 Minnesota Vikings 12

Q: Can QB Dan Orlovsky get solid production from WRs Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams?

A: That darn "and"!  WR Calvin Johnson had 85 yards and a TD pass from Dan Orlovsky, who did not turn the ball over but only gathered 150 yards passing on 12 of 21 attempts.  He would have to have another 75+ yards to get quality production from two WRs.

Whether Orlovsky, or Drew Stanton, is the answer to the Lions longer-term QB problems, one can't tell.  However, the Lions should make every effort to find out.  Using a top 5 draft choice on a QB next April won't help the team too much in 2009.  Expect to see Orlovsky to have the shackles loosend over the next three or four games.  A 7.5 YPA makes me think he can do much better.

Q: How much does RB Adrian Peterson rebound from last week's 32-yard disaster?

A: 111 yards qualifies as a "rebound".  No TDs and two lost fumbles, though, makes the effort less impressive.

Fantasy Player To Watch:  WR Bernard Berrian.  Another 100+ yard game and a TD game makes Berrian a solid WR2.  Considering where he was drafted (7th round?), he will be part of successful fantasy teams who didn't look to be so successful right after the draft.

Poll
Can the Detroit Lions have two starting-caliber fantasy WRs?
Yes. A new QB will rely upon the skills of Calvin Johnson and Roy Williams to the exclusion of other options.
5 votes
No. A new QB will not be able to get them the ball while learning the offense and reacting to defensive adjustments.
