Dhop makes his return on TNF
The Cardinals have been ranked 14th in offense, passing, and rushing but were able to put together a solid performance last night.
The biggest factor for them was the return of DeAndre Hopkins and how he added to the offense. He returned to catch 10 passes for 103 yards.
Defense also showed up as they intercepted Andy Dalton three times in the 42-34 win.
After an 8 game losing streak, the Cardinals needed this one almost as bad as fantasy owners needed Dhop back...

Run game vs run defense
Here is a matchup to look at: Lions run game vs Dallas run defense.
Scoring alone, the Lions are a top 3 team. They average 28 points per game and rank 8th best in both passing yards per game AND rushing yards per game.
Yeah, I’d say their offense is pretty efficient.
Not only a top scoring team, Lions are top 8 in rushing too. With DeAndre Swift expecting to return this week, he’ll help out in this category.
On the flip side, nobody is giving up more points to their opponents than the Lions at 34 points per game.
If we’re being honest, the Lions have put up points and have moved the ball, but it was against garbage teams.
The Cowboys have given up the 6th most fantasy points to running backs this season and rank 16th against rushing yards. Even so, they'll probably have their way in this game.
The Lions are 3-2 against the spread while Dallas is 4-2.
If you ask me, this screams backdoor cover.
When the Lions are spotted a TD like they are Sunday, they are 4/5 against the spread.
So as long as Detroit can establish the run and lean on that, I have faith they can at least keep it closer than it should be in this one.
The Line (via PointsBet): Lions +7 (1.90 both ways), O/U: 49 (-105, -110) Lions ML +250, Cowboys -325
Someone's gotta be last...
Dead last is where the Texans land. In almost every category too.
32nd in points scored this season, 31st in yards, 29th in rushing yards, 29th in passing yards, and 31st in 1st downs.
On the other hand, this Raiders offense is top 6 in football at 25 points per game but they also allow an average of 26 points per game.
That's the main reason why they’re 1-4.
We know the Raiders have been struggling and I think this is a great spot for them to dominate a team. Let’s get that offense going like we know you can, Raiders!
The Texans have kept most games close but let’s take a look at those– Denver, Chicago, Jacksonville. Then they beat the Chargers by 10.
With that being said, when the Texans are spotted a touchdown like they are Sunday, they are covering the spread 60% of the time. Give me the points here.
The Line (via PointsBet): Texans +7 (-107 both ways), O/U: 45.5 (110,-105), Texans ML +260, Raiders -300
Broncos bust?

Believe it or not, the Jets are a top 10 scoring offense!
Denver though? They look a bit different, ranking dead last in football in scoring.
They’re also dead last in red zone percentage this season. Even when they get inside the 20, they can't score!
The Jets can't relate. They are top 9 in the NFL in red zone percentage.
They beat Green Bay at Lambeu, crushed the Dolphins, and beat both the Steelers and Cleveland.
The Broncos 2-4 against the spread this season. The Jets, on the other hand, are 4-1 in L5 games & 3-0 when they play away. Just like they will be Sunday.
Give me the Jets on the money line. Ain't no way I can back Russ at this point.
The Line (via PointsBet): Jets +1 (-110, -105) O/U;: 38 (-110,-105), Jets ML +100, Broncos -115
