T.J. Hockenson Catches One Pass In Loss

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson racked up 179 yards in Week 4 and looked to be set up for another monster game in Week 5 against the Patriots. However, Jared Goff and the Lions' offense was dominated and held scoreless in the blowout loss. Hockenson caught just one of his four targets for six […]

Kalif Raymond Catches Five Passes In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond caught five of his seven targets for 45 yards in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. Some fantasy managers in deep leagues probably played Raymond since Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is banged up and D.J. Chark (ankle) was out, so in PPR leagues, he provided just enough […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Totals 18 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught just four passes for 18 yards in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. St. Brown was expected to play limited snaps because of his ankle injury, so his risk was clear for fantasy managers. Luckily, the Lions are on a bye in Week 6, so […]

Josh Reynolds Leads Lions In Targets

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds caught six of his 10 targets for 92 yards in the blowout loss to the New England Patriots. He was ultimately the only Lions pass-catcher who had a productive fantasy day with Amon-Ra St. Brown playing limited snaps. Reynolds has been productive this season, but it's tough to know […]

Jamaal Williams Held To 56 Yards

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams handled 15 touches but was held to just 56 yards and zero touchdowns. The Lions were shut out, so nearly all of the Detroit skill players were busts in Week 5. Williams' rest-of-season outlook will be affected by how quickly D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) comes back. Detroit is on […]

Jared Goff Shut Down In Week 5

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 19 of his 35 attempts for 229 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception in the shutout loss to the New England Patriots. His floor is clearly not as high as most thought, so he's a risky play moving forward unless the matchup is favorable for quarterbacks. That said, this […]

Josh Reynolds Active For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (ankle) is officially active for Week 5 against the New England Patriots. He had been listed as questionable. The 27-year-old has looked great as of late, catching 16 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns over the course of his last three games. With DJ Chark (ankle) inactive, Reynolds […]

High-Upside Bench Stashes: Weekend Waiver Wire for Week 5 Includes Isiah Pacheco, Khalil Shakir, Geno Smith, Robert Tonyan

Staying ahead of your league mates when it comes to spotting potential breakout players while saving your FAAB or waiver priority is an underrated skill. As we are four weeks into the regular season, some of the players we drafted are no longer going to be on our rosters due to their performance or injury. […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Will Play In Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) will suit up for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the New England Patriots. He missed last week's game and was limited during practice this week. Despite that, it appears he's healthy enough to get back on the field. The 22-year-old has been excellent for the Lions this […]

Is D’Andre Swift Injured or Playing? Should I Start Jamaal Williams in Week 5?

Fantasy managers who used an early-round pick on Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift have undoubtedly been scrambling to fill the void of his absence the last two weeks if they didn’t also draft Jamaal Williams. In the team’s first two games, Swift logged at least a 51% snap share and had 20 carries for […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Expected To Play In Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, according to NFL.com's Tom Pelissero. St. Brown missed last week's game and did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, but he did log a limited session on Friday. The 22-year-old has looked fantastic when […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown A Game-Time Call On Sunday

Detroit Lions running back Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is considered a game-time call, per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Jared Goff could certainly use him versus the Pats in Week 5, especially since D.J. Chark (ankle) and Quintez Cephus (foot) won't be on the field. If St. Brown plays, he'll likely receive a generous helping […]

Josh Reynolds In Line To Play Against Pats

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (ankle) is likely to suit up for the Week 5 meeting with the New England Patriots. That's good news, primarily since D.J. Chark (ankle) and Quintez Cephus (foot) aren't available for this one. However, if Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is also ruled out, Reynolds will become a must-start in […]
