The Facts: The Lions placed Matthew Stafford on IR with a back injury.

Diehards Line:This move is more of a formality than anything else. The Lions are out of the playoff hunt and Stafford is a 31-year-old passer coming off a back injury. David Blough is expected to start for the Lions' final two games. Blough has been a replacement-level passer which is enough to sustain the fantasy values in this highly condensed offense. Danny Amendola and Kenny Golladay are both viable options at wideout this week.
