The Lions have struggled against the pass this year, ranking dead last in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per drop back. They have been especially bad against tight ends, giving up a league-high 24.2 fantasy points per game to the position while allowing an average stat line of 6.3 receptions, 72.0 yards and 1.7 touchdowns on 9.0 targets.

Zach Miller shook off a slow start to the year last week with 8 receptions, 78 yards and 2 touchdowns against Dallas. He has a team-high 15 receptions to start the season.

The Bears' offense isn't a strong one, and you don't often want to take shots on tight ends with implied totals as low as the Bears' 22.5, but the size of his role in the offense combined with the Lions' ineptitude against tight ends makes him a solid play if you're hurting at tight end this week.
