Kenny Golladay, WR, Detroit Lions

Yahoo! Ownership: 11%

Kenny Golladay finds himself available in over 80% of leagues thanks to missing six weeks with a hamstring injury. The Detroit Lions' rookie has made his way back on the field the last two games though, playing 65% of the snaps in Week 11's win over the Chicago Bears. As the team's number three wideout, Golladay flashed his talents the last two Sundays, catching 4 passes for 116 yards. The matchup with the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday should provide the rookie with a few more chances to show off his big play ability.

The Vikings are expected to have top cornerback Xavier Rhodes available, with the Pro Bowler likely to shadow Marvin Jones. That leaves Golladay and Golden Tate to see a more significant share of targets in a game that figures to be pass heavy for Detroit, as they are 3.0-point home dogs to the Vikes. If the Lions are chasing points, expect Golladay and his big play potential to be heavily utilized.
