The Lions have averaged five fewer points with QB Jeff Driskel than with Matthew Stafford, who will miss his third straight game. Washington averages a league-low 12.5 points per contest. There is a drop-off with Dwayne Haskins at QB, as the Redskins have totaled 35 points in his three games as the starter.
I'm well aware of how bad Washington is, with a double-digit loss streak that would be longer if not for a monsoon. But how can we not fade Jeff Driskel and a bad Lions team that's on the road and laying more than a field goal? The Detroit defense has given up 440+ yards in four of their last six games since their bye, and they rank 30th in third-down percentage and 28th in red zone percentage. They also rank 27th in adjusted sack rate. Basically, if there's any situation where Washington scores points, it should be this week. Derrius Guice sparks the offense to a win at home against another bad team.
