Wide receivers with the least favorable matchups in fantasy football in Week 8 (0-100 scale, with 100 being the most favorable):
Brandin Cooks (20), Golden Tate (25), T.Y. Hilton (25), Alshon Jeffery (30), Michael Thomas (35).

The Lions continue to mix up defensive packages to find strengths in individual players. Detroit brought out its four defensive end package -- with Kerry Hyder and Armonty Bryant as tackles -- to try and generate pass rush.
They have also run a three safety look and a specialized look with safety Miles Killebrew down as a linebacker. Detroit did this last week as well.

All of Detroit's defensive issues showed up on the Houston touchdown.
It came on third down, where opponents convert over 50 percent of the time. It was a touchdown pass to a tight end -- a problem for Detroit for over a season. And there was no pass rush.

Same old, same old for the Detroit Lions in the first half Sunday against Houston.
The Lions struggled covering tight ends, let Brock Osweiler complete 66.7 percent of his passes and allowed the Texans to convert 56 percent of their third downs.
These have been trouble spots for Detroit all year and have led to a 14-3 Houston lead at the half as the Lions offense has also had issues moving the ball at times.
