        Lions TE Sam LaPorta managed just 3 catches for 33 yards on a 20% target share in Sunday’s win over Minnesota. That followed an even quieter Week 7, when he caught only 1 of 2 targets for 18 yards.

        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.

        LaPorta produced both a team and season-high 22.4 PPR points in the Lions’ primetime loss to the Panthers. He hauled in eight of his 13 targets for 84 yards and a TD to finish as the TE2 in Week 4 pending Monday Night Football. It’s his highest-scoring game since Week 15 of his rookie season in 2023.

        If you drafted Jameson Williams and started him against the Saints in Week 1, you're probably not too happy about his mere 4 catches for 45 yards. That landed Williams outside the top 40 across fantasy formats for the week. But his 9 targets ranked second on the team, one ahead of TE Sam LaPorta. Williams landed eighth among WRs in expected PPR points for the week.

        Lions TE Sam LaPorta was back on the practice field on Tuesday, less than a week after HC Dan Campbell was non-committal on his Week 1 availability due to a hip injury. LaPorta took part in individual and team drills, per The Detroit Free Press' Dave Birkett. Barring a setback, LaPorta is on track to be a full-go come Week 1.
