Lions QB Jared Goff’s 37 pass attempts were the second most by the team this season, only surpassed by 39 in Week 1. Both games accounted for two of the Lions’ three losses. The volume was enough to support WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (9-97-0 on 13 targets) and TE Sam LaPorta (6-97-1 on 8 targets). It also creates a bounce-back game for WR Jameson Williams with a 4-66-1 stat line on 6 targets.
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs delivered one of the best fantasy performances of the season on Monday Night Football. Gibbs produced 218 scrimmage yards and a pair of TDs to help lead the Lions to an easy 24-9 victory over Tampa Bay. Gibbs rushed 17 times for 136 yards and 2 scores and caught 3 balls for another 82 yards in the win.
The Lions have ruled S Kerby Joseph (knee) and CB Terrion Arnold (shoulder) out for Monday night's game against the Buccaneers. That only further hampers a secondary already missing S Brian Branch (suspension), CB D.J. Reed (IR), CB Ennis Rakestraw (IR), and CB Afonte Maddox (hamstring).
The league is suspending Lions S Brian Branch one game for his shot to Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster at the end of Sunday night's loss to Kansas City. Branch is reportedly appealing the punishment. We should get word on that decision ahead of Monday's game against the Bucs. You should expect to not have Branch in your Week 7 IDP lineup.
Lions safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph are active for tonight's game against the Chiefs. There's re-injury risk, but each is usable in IDP lineups if you waited for him.
Lions HC Dan Campbell has said that S Brian Branch and S Kerby Joseph will both "likely" game-time decisions. That's unfortunate for setting our IDP lineups, because Detroit plays Kansas City on Sunday night.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (wrist) is off the final Week 6 injury report. He was sidelined on Wednesday but put in full practice on Thursday and Friday. He’ll be ready for his usual role in Sunday night’s game against the Chiefs.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (wrist) returned to a full practice on Thursday. It looks like he'll be ready to roll for Sunday night's showdown with the Chiefs. We'll confirm St. Brown's status when we get Friday's final injury report.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (wrist) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other details on this wrist issue. We'll look for more info and see if St. Brown gets back on the practice field tomorrow, ahead of Sunday night's showdown with the Chiefs.
Lions QB Jared Goff assembled an ultra-efficient outing in a Week 5 win vs. the Bengals. He delivered 258 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs on an 82.6% completion rate.
Lions WR Jameson Williams managed just 2 receptions for 40 yards in Sunday's win over the Browns. That marked the third straight game in which Williams caught just two passes. And the game before produced a 4-23 receiving line. But Williams drew a season-high eight targets against Cleveland. That led the team for the first time this year and accounted for 29.6% of Jared Goff's total pass attempts. Amon-Ra St. Brown led the team in the rest of the receiving categories, posting a 7-70-2 receiving line on seven targets. Kalif Raymond drew the only other three WR targets, catching two for 13 yards. Isaac TeSlaa ran a third as many routes and drew no targets.
Lions RB David Montgomery managed just 12 yards on nine carries in Sunday's win over the Browns. He trailed Jahmyr Gibbs in carries (15-9), playing time (37 snaps to 20), and pass routes (16-7). Montgomery drew just one target, which fell incomplete. Gibbs posted a 15-91-1 rushing line (6.1 yards per carry) and 2 receptions for 6 yards.
Lions WR Jameson Williams delivered 108 yards and a TD in Sunday's blowout win over the Bears. That production came on just 2 receptions among four targets, though. Williams scored from 44 yards out in the middle of the third quarter. His other reception racked up 64 yards.
David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs saw a near-even split in rushing attempts in Sunday's lopsided victory over the Bears. Gibbs rushed 12 times for 94 yards (7.8 per carry) and a TD, including a 42-yard scamper in the third quarter. Montgomery handled 11 carries for 57 yards (5.2 per rush) and a TD. Both rushing scores came in the first quarter, Gibbs' from 6 yards out to close the first drive and Montgomery's from a yard out late in the quarter. Gibbs added 3 catches for 10 yards on three targets. Montgomery caught his long target for 4 yards.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown racked up 9 receptions, 115 yards, and 3 TDs in Sunday's 52-21 victory over the Bears. St. Brown's 11 targets led his nearest teammate by seven, and he accounted for huge market shares:
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown disappointed, catching four of six targets for 45 yards. He didn’t even lead the WRs in snaps, with Jameson Williams logging 65 to St. Brown’s 63. Detroit’s offensive struggles against the Packers led to disappointing results across the board.
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs disappointed on the ground with nine carries for 19 yards. In PPR leagues, he salvaged the day by catching all 10 of his targets for 31 yards. Even so, it was a poor showing for the Lions’ rushing attack.
The Detroit Lions have come to terms with WR Jameson Williams on a 3-year deal worth up to $83 million. Williams was entering the fourth year of his rookie deal, but earned an extension after posting his first 1000-yard campaign in 2024. The Lions now have both Williams and Amon-Ra St. Brown locked up through the 2028 season.
Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa caught both of his targets for 41 yards and a score in Saturday's preseason finale against the Texans. The TD came on a 'go' ball down the right sideline. TeSlaa got a step on his defender and made a smooth over-the-shoulder catch in the end zone.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta is going to miss “a little bit of time” with an injury, according to Nolan Bianchi of Detroit News.
