Gado...

Per footballguys.com...

The last time these teams met, during week 1, Samkon Gado wasn't on the active roster and Ahman Green was the star running back - a lot has changed since then. Samkon Gado has scored 6 TDs in his last 5 games, and rushed for 18/366/5 during that span - he is the top performing RB the Packers have left, and figures to carry the load (as long as he can stop putting the ball on the ground) - Gado is the 18th best fantasy RB over the past 3 weeks, with 56/193/2 rushing and 3/53/0 receiving during that span, including last week's 20/75/1 rushing and 1/12/0 receiving effort vs. the ultra-tough Bears.

The Lions' rush D is not nearly as imposing as Chicago's, averaging 121.5 rushing yards allowed per game to date (25th in the NFL), with an average of 169.3 rushing yards allowed per game during the last 3 weeks (508 rushing yards surrendered in that span). Minnesota ran for 32/103/1 against these guys last week - Detroit's defensive front is in the tank.

This is a great matchup for Gado to exploit.
