BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Nobody will confuse Jared Goff with a high-end QB1 in fantasy, but he has shown the ability to provide a consistent floor by utilizing the weapons around him on the Lions’ offense.

Josh Reynolds (WR, DET) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 4

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Moment of silence for Amon-Ra St. Brown, who could catch eight targets for the first time in six weeks getting all the way back to Week 15 of the 2021 season. The Lions would have liked him to do it as […]

D'Andre Swift Out Until After The Bye?

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder, ankle) could miss time with a shoulder injury he suffered in the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and that Swift might benefit from having time off while healing up after the team's Week 6 bye. It would mean that Swift […]

Top 10 Running Back Studs - Best Fantasy Football RB Performances from Week 3

Week 3 of the 2022 NFL season featured two handcuff running backs finishing at the top and was a much better performance points-wise from the top 10 backs compared to Week 2. Derrick Henry made an appearance after two weeks off and the usual suspects we have come to expect so far: Nick Chubb, James […]

Tracy Walker Believed To Have Suffered Torn Achilles

Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker (Achilles), who had been impressive through two weeks, is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles tendon in the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) suffered a shoulder sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, according to a source.

The third NFL Sunday of the 2022 season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your week went.

Tracy Walker May Have Suffered Achilles Injury

Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker (ankle) exited in the first quarter of a Week 3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and did not return. He was replaced by third-year safety JuJu Hughes. Head coach Dan Campbell told reporters after the game that the team would have more information on Monday morning, but that Walker's ankle […]

D'Andre Swift Dealing With Possible Shoulder Injury

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) was questionable to suit up in Week 3, but he did play and saw just 10 touches in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Swift entered the game with an ankle injury and limped off the field to be evaluated by trainers at one point, but he […]

T.J. Hockenson Scores Touchdown In Loss

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught three-of-four targets for 18 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3. His lack of targets and yards is concerning, but he ultimately delivered for fantasy managers thanks to the touchdown. Detroit takes on Seattle in Week 4, who have surrendered solid […]

D.J. Chark Catches Three Passes

Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark caught three-of-six targets for 46 yards in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3. Without a touchdown, he was a fantasy bust, and his season-long outlook is just a boom-or-bust flex play in deep leagues. There's a ton of target competition in Detroit, so Chark can't be […]

Josh Reynolds Leads Lions In Receiving

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds caught six of his 10 targets for 96 yards in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He led all Lions' pass-catchers in targets and yards and tied with Amon-Ra St. Brown for the team lead in receptions. Reynolds isn't a steady producer, but he's proven capable of having solid […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Posts 73 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught six-of-nine targets for 73 yards and zero touchdowns in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings. It was still a solid fantasy day in PPR leagues, but it wasn't quite the fantasy eruption his managers have become used to. However, he's still a must-start moving forward and will […]

D'Andre Swift Handles Limited Workload

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle) was an injury risk heading into Week 3, but most fantasy managers were likely willing to take the risk thanks to his elite PPR upside. He totaled just seven rushes, three receptions, and 48 yards in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Moving forward, he clearly carries risk […]

Jared Goff Throws One Touchdown In Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 25 of his 41 passing attempts for 277 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Since Goff doesn't add any rushing production, a one-touchdown game won't be enough to give fantasy managers a solid performance in their QB slot. However, the weaponry is […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Returns In Week 3

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (leg) has returned to Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He totaled four catches for 56 yards before briefly exiting. He was evaluated by trainers and quickly cleared to play.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Evaluated For Injury

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown exited Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with an apparent leg injury. He totaled four catches and 56 yards before heading to the sidelines.

Tracy Walker Ruled Out In Week 3

Detroit Lions safety Tracy Walker (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 3 versus the Minnesota Vikings. He had exited the contest in the first quarter. With Ifeatu Melifonwu (coach's decision) also inactive, the Lions' safety room will be headlined by DeShon Elliott and Kerby Joseph for the rest of the game.

D'Andre Swift Will Play In Week 3

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle) will suit up for the Week 3 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. This is great news as Swift has been putting together an impressive campaign. Through two games, Swift has 200 rushing yards, 64 receiving yards, and two touchdowns under his belt. He'll continue to be one of […]

T.J. Hockenson Active For Week 3

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (hip) is officially active for Sunday's Week 3 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. This shouldn't be much of a surprise considering Hockenson was expected to play all along. Through two games, Hockenson has seven receptions for 64 yards, which is certainly below expectations. Right now, fantasy managers should consider […]
