One question for every NFL team in rest of season
NFL (Detroit Lions: How will they handle Golden Tate's departure? Easy to defend the trade of the veteran wideout and equally easy to rip the move. What's less clear is how the offense will adapt minus its No. 1 receiver or how a team in the throes of a cultural sea change will react to a forward-looking decision that undermines the ability to win now.): https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2018/11/02/nfl-one-question-every-team-second-half-2018-season/1843024002/
NFL Week 9: Preview and Analysis for Each Sunday Game (Lions at Vikings: Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs are the best receiving tandem in football, but it’s worth casting a spotlight on Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones. Golladay is strong, long and athletic. The Vikings will almost certainly shadow him with top corner Xavier Rhodes and trust him to win one-on-one. Rhodes was back at practice Thursday so should play after missing last week. That frees up safety help for No. 2 corner Trae Waynes against Jones, who is a balletic route runner and acrobatic receiver. If the Vikings can keep Jones in check, Detroit’s offense will dry up.): https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/11/02/nfl-week-9-preview-analysis-news
Week 9 News and Notes: Browns’ New Plan for Baker Mayfield (4. Sunday’s game against the Lions is a big one for the 4-3-1 Vikings, and they have some moving parts. With Stefon Diggs on the shelf, the expectation is a bigger role for veteran journeyman Aldrick Robinson. And with Dalvin Cook working his way back from a hamstring injury, the plan is to get him about 20 snaps or so. 5. As for the Lions, the departure of Golden Tate should open opportunity for Kenny Golladay, though the second-year pro was already getting extra attention from defenses. And T.J. Jones is likely to get a good portion of the playing time that has opened up. Remember, it’s not like the Lions were dying to see Tate go—they’d offered him a new contract and drove a hard bargain with suitors on the trade market.): https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/11/04/week-9-news-notes-baker-mayfield-browns-coaching-sam-bradford-bruce-irvin-released-dalvin-cook
