Shough could post QB1 numbers against depleted Detroit secondary missing both starting safeties.

Tyler Shough is positioned for a potentially elite Week 1 performance against Detroit's secondary, which will be without both starting safeties Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch. In Weeks 12-18 last year, Shough was QB6 in fantasy points per game while averaging 25 rushing yards per game (a pace that would have ranked 12th-best for the full season). Among 30 qualifying quarterbacks in that span, he ranked 12th in yards per attempt and highly accurate throw rate, ninth in hero throw rate, and seventh in passing yards per game. Detroit ranked 15th in passing success rate allowed while giving up the fifth-most yards per attempt and 14th-highest CPOE, creating favorable conditions for Shough to post QB1 numbers.
