James Butler

Garners 60 total yards in win
Butler rushed 12 times for 41 yards and brought in his only target for 19 yards during the Lions' 21-20 win over the Alouettes in Week 5.
ANALYSIS
The veteran back unsurprisingly found running room mostly at a premium against the Alouettes' stingy defensive front, with Butler averaging just 3.0 yards per carry outside of his game-long eight-yard run. Butler did make a splash play with his one reception, however, helping him to a modest but serviceable fantasy day overall. Butler has at least one reception in four of five games and has cleared 40 rushing yards in four of five contests as well, giving him a relatively safe fantasy floor in a Week 6 road matchup against the Elks on Sunday night.
