Lions CB Carlton Davis fractured his jaw in Sunday's loss to the Bills. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that he'll have surgery and "be sidelined indefinitely." NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported a six-week timeline. Either way, Davis is clearly done for at least the rest of the regular season.
Detroit's top CBs look like rookie Terrion Arnold and veteran Kindle Vildor the rest of the way, with Amik Robertson working the slot.
Buffalo's explosion for 559 total yards, 362 passing, and 197 rushing in Week 15 followed five straight games of the Lions holding opponents to 301 total yards or less and 223 passing yards or less.
That'll be tougher the do the next two weeks with Davis joining a long lost of Detroit defenders lost to injury.
Don't consider the Lions a negative matchup for your Bears and 49ers lineup candidates in these final two weeks for most fantasy leagues.
