The Facts:
The Lions believe Stafford will improve as he becomes more familiar with the offensive weapons they have provided for him. Stafford and Calvin Johnson already have an outstanding feel for one another. But Stafford’s coaches believe he is capable of improving his chemistry with other people he throws to, most notably Nate Burleson, Titus Young, Brandon Pettigrewand Tony Scheffler.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to NFP staffer Dan Pompei, the goal is to put Stafford in a position like Peyton Manning was in Indianapolis when he benefitted from long on-field relationships with Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Dallas Clark. It's also telling that the team went after a wideout like Ryan Broyles (who was available much later in the draft than he would have been if fully healthy). And the Fantasy implications are major. Despite multiple issues at running back, the fact the team made a long-term move at wideout suggests they realize the strength of their offense is the passing attack and that's not going to change any time soon.
