Start: Kerryon Johnson, Running Back, Detroit Lions @ Dallas Cowboys

The Detroit Lions offense looked like a different animal with an effective ground game. Matthew Stafford was able to take advantage of play action and the receivers found some extra space. It also helped keep the down and distances manageable.

Getting an impressive win against the New England Patriots is exactly what the Lions needed. They can now move forward with some confidence.

Rookie Kerryon Johnson especially should move forward with a larger role within the offense. He showed his explosiveness and ability to make people miss against New England. Johnson is someone capable of working between the tackles, but also provides a big-play threat.

Sit: Keelan Cole, Wide Receiver, Jacksonville Jaguars vs. New York Jets

Blake Bortles continues to be one of the more up and down quarterbacks in the NFL. This in turn makes the offensive playmakers on the Jacksonville Jaguars offense equally unpredictable. Keelan Cole paced the team with nine targets, but finished with only 40 yards.

Cole figures to see a lot of attention next week against the New York Jets. Trumaine Johnson is a top-flight defender who can keep Cole under wraps. It’s just so tough to trust anyone in Jacksonville’s passing game after last week.
