3. Kenny Clark

Kenny Clark is becoming an absolute monster for the Packers. He’s already taken over the Packers’ most dominant lineman title from Mike Daniels and is seeing the field more often than his teammate as well.

Clark, who just celebrated his 23rd birthday this week, will be a force to be reckoned with once again. The Lions are dealing with injuries on the interior of their offensive line so Clark will have some nice matchups to take advantage of.

Detroit’s rookie running back Kerryon Johnson had a mini breakout performance last week. The Lions will certainly look to get him going again against the Packers. Clark will not only have a big role in shutting down the run game, but getting pressure on Matthew Stafford as well. Pressure up the middle is the biggest way to disrupt the Lions’ pass game and Clark will look to be all over the field on Sunday.
