Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (rib) is expected to play vs. the Dolphins today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. St. Brown was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but we never sensed any concern about his status for this one. He remains a must-start.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (rib) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins. There’s been no indication that St. Brown is in danger of missing this one, but we’ll look for further updates and get Detroit’s inactives around 11:30 am ET Sunday.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings. He put in full practices on Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday. St. Brown remains a must-start in season-long leagues. He’s averaged 7.8 catches and 89 yards over his last 4 games against Minnesota.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) was a full-go in Thursday's practice, a day after sitting out. There doesn't seem to be any concern about this ankle issue. St. Brown is on track to play his typical role vs. the Vikings this weekend.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) was held out of Wednesday's practice, as expected. HC Dan Campbell said Monday that St. Brown wouldn't practice today but is expected to be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. He can stay penciled into Week 8 fantasy lineups. We'll update St. Brown's status again tomorrow.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown hurt an ankle in the win over the Packers and isn't expected to practice on Wednesday, HC Dan Campbell said. St. Brown "should be good" to play vs. the Vikings this weekend, "but we'll see when we get there," Campbell added. We'll keep a close eye on St. Brown's status throughout the week. His absence would be a boost to WR Jameson Williams and TE Sam LaPorta and could make WR Isaac TeSlaa a deep-league option.

Goff was sharp in a 20-17 win over Green Bay, completing 22 of 32 passes for 303 yards and 2 TDs with no INTs. He added 2 carries for -1 yard and finished as QB10 for the week. His 9.5 yards per attempt was his best mark of the season. Amon-Ra St. Brown did most of the damage with 9 catches for 153 yards on 11 targets, while Jameson Williams caught both TDs. The one blemish was ball security, as Goff fumbled twice and lost one.

The Lions are hiring Drew Petzing as their new OC, according to multiple reports. ESPN's Eric Woodyard writes that Petzing is expected to call plays, after HC Dan Campbell took over those duties during the second half of 2025. Petzing spent the past three seasons as Cardinals OC. Arizona's offenses were middling under Petzing, ranking 19th, 11th, and 19th in total yards and 24th, 12th, and 23rd in points. But he piloted productive and efficient running games in 2023 and 2024, with the Cardinals ranking top seven in both rushing yards and yards per carry both years. Arizona sunk to 31st in yards this past year but still ranked 16th in yards per carry. QB Kyler Murray played a big part in those rushing attacks. But Cardinals RBs averaged 4.7 yards per carry in Petzing's scheme. Consider this hire good news for RB Jahmyr Gibbs.

The Lions announced that they've "parted ways" with OC John Morton. Morton called plays for the first eight games of the season, guiding the team to 351 total yards and 29.9 points per game. HC Dan Campbell took over play-calling for the final nine games. Detroit climbed to 393 yards per game but sunk to 26.9 points. We'll see who the Lions hire to replace Morton as OC -- and whether Campbell keeps play-calling duties. Campbell was non-committal when asked on Monday. "I'm open to anything," he said. "I don't know exactly where I'm at with that yet. Listen, I'm going to think through all of that. I really want to do what I feel is best for the team. If I believe that's what's best for us and I feel good about it, I will."

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee, ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He was listed as questionable after getting in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. That adds some risk to St. Brown’s Week 18 profile, especially with Detroit having nothing to play for. He’s a viable fade in daily contests but would be impossible to leave out of season-long lineups.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee, ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bears. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. HC Dan Campbell said Friday that St. Brown is trending toward playing in the season finale. It’s certainly possible that his playing time is impacted by the knee and ankle injuries. But an active St. Brown would be impossible to leave out of season-long fantasy lineups.

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee, ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't suspect that either issue is serious, but St. Brown isn't a lock to play in this weekend's meaningless finale vs. the Bears. We'll update his status again tomorrow.

The Detroit Lions put up a dud in Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings. RB Jahmyr Gibbs went 17-41-0 on the ground. He usually makes up for poor rushing with his receiving, but that wasn’t the case this week. Gibbs only went 2-23-0 through the air on 3 targets. That’s only 8.4 PPR fantasy points, his worst performance since Week 9 against the Vikings. RB David Montgomery only managed 5 PPR points with WR Jameson Williams only scoring 5.7. WR Amon-Ra St. Brown was the only Lion to come through in PPR going 8-68-0 on 13 targets. This poor performance marks a disappointing end to the Lions’ season, and questions linger about how elite they will be in 2026

Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown is active for today's game vs. the Vikings. He came out of last week's loss to the Steelers with knee irritation but was able to get in limited practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. We're expecting St. Brown to play his usual role today. He remains a must-start.

There’s a little irritation. So, short week, we’ll see. But I would say it’s still positive news.” The Lions still have an outside shot at the playoffs, so St. Brown will be out there against the Vikings on Thursday as long as he's able. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
