- Calvin Johnson had a very good day.
- Lions running back Reggie Bush had a good day as well with eight catches for 30 yards along with 92 yards rushing. He’s still a risky dynasty play since he manages to get hurt every other game.
- Cowboys rookie running back Joseph Randle did nothing to stand out replacing DeMarco Murray. He managed just 26 yards on 14 carries. He added three catches for 18 yards.
- Lions receiver Kris Durham led the Lions in targets (behind Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush) with four catches and 54 yards.
- Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee had another stellar day with 10 tackles, two passes defended and two interceptions. He remains a LB1 in dynasty leagues for many years to come.

The Matthew Stafford Contract Extension
Contract extensions don’t usually mean much to fantasy football re-drafters but they do when Matthew Stafford is your franchise quarterback in a dynasty league. Stafford just signed a contract extension through 2017. While this news is great for Stafford’s dynasty value it’s especially great for Calvin Johnson’s, who’s signed through 2019. To have stability in the quarterback position is extremely important and should keep CJ at the top of dynasty big boards. Hopefully Stafford can keep getting 200 targets to Johnson for many years to come. Needless to say it also has positive value for other Lions like Ryan Broyles, who has the potential to be a very good #2 WR in the Lions offense for many years to come. Now would especially be a good time to buy low since he’s recovering from ACL surgery. It also solidifies Brandon Pettigrew as a top-15 tight end option for at least 2-3 years and makes Reggie Bush a solid top-20 option at running back for at least this year.
