Michael Badgley Makes Three Kicks In Loss

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley made his only field goal attempt and both of his extra point attempts in the loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 16.

DJ Chark Totals 108 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver DJ Chark caught four of his five targets for 108 yards in the loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. That said, he was a fine PPR flex play, but he didn't boom in a major way. Chark will face a mid-tier matchup for fantasy wide receivers in Week 17 […]

Detroit Lions wide receiver Shane Zylstra came into Week 16 with just eight career catches, but against the Carolina Panthers, he caught five passes for 26 yards and three touchdowns.

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams rushed just seven times for 11 yards and caught two passes for three yards in the loss to the Carolina Panthers.

Jared Goff Booms Against Panthers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 25 of his 42 passing attempts for 355 yards and three touchdowns in the loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 16.
