Quarterback
Mason Rudolph: With Ben Roethlisberger being placed on the COVID list, Rudolph will make his 10th career start on Sunday. In those 10 previous starts, Rudolph has finished higher than QB15 in weekly scoring just once with a high-scoring week as the QB12.
The Lions are dead last in passing points allowed per attempt (0.62), yards allowed per attempt (9.3 Y/A), and yards allowed per completion (13.7 yards). The one drawback here is that the Lions have faced the league’s fewest amount of pass attempts (27.8 per game) because they have consistently chased points in the second halves of games. Rudolph is a matchup based option for those filling a hole in 2QB formats.
