Lions S Jayron Kearse has been suspended without pay for three weeks for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

Jayron Kearse finished Sunday's loss to the Saints with four solo tackles.

Fantasy Impact

Kearse gets more playing time in this game because Andrew Sendejo is still dealing with a groin injury. If Sendejo continues to miss time Kearse is worth consideration for any owner that is need of a replacement safety.
