Lions name Matthew Stafford as team captain for Week 1
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will be a team captain for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.
What It Means:
Stafford will be the offensive captain while Glover Quin holds defensive honors and Don Carey is the special teams captain. Sunday will be Stafford's first game since signing his gargantuan five-year, $135-million contract extension.
numberFire's metrics project Stafford for 266.0 passing yards with 1.54 touchdowns and 1.0 interceptions in Week 1 versus the Ravens, making him the QB17 in our weekly fantasy rankings. He's tabbed for 16.8 FanDuel points at a cost of $7,600.
