Eric Ebron was questionable heading into Week 1 but ended up playing 92 percent of the offensive snaps and ranking third among Detroit Lions pass-catchers in targets. He made the most of those targets -- catching all 5 of them -- and totaling 46 yards and a score. Ebron has a real opportunity to carve out a role for himself in Detroit with Calvin Johnson out of town, especially in the red zone.

In Week 2, the Lions likely won't find themselves in nearly the shootout they were in last week, as they face a Tennessee Titans team who ranked 28th in points and plays per game last season and 14th in plays this Sunday. However, Tennessee really struggled against tight ends last season, allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends (ESPN standard scoring). They also ranked fourth-worst in our metrics against the pass last season.

In Week 1, it was more of the same for Tennessee's defense, allowing Kyle Rudolph to collect 65 yards on 4 catches. With plenty of targets at his disposal, Ebron should have no problem putting up a productive line against their lackluster defense.
