Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Fourth-year pro Dan Orlovsky played in Sunday's 12-10 loss at Minnesota, snapping Kitna's starting streak at 36 games. Drew Stanton, a second-round pick last year, was the winless Lions' No. 2 quarterback for the first time in his career against the Vikings. The 36-year-old Kitna started against the Chicago Bears on Oct. 5 but left the game with back spasms.
