Week 1 is almost in the books. There were some good performances. There were some not good performances. There was a Colts/Texans tie and there was almost a second tie.

T.J. Hockenson Has Quiet Day In Loss
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson caught four-of-eight targets for 38 yards in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. In PPR leagues, it was a serviceable day for a tight end, but his 3.8 standard league point total was a disastrous start. The Eagles were viewed as a favorable matchup for tight ends, so it […]
D.J. Chark Scores Touchdown In Lions Debut
Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark caught four of eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Chark was only behind Amon-Ra St. Brown on the target log, so he could be playable moving forward, especially in deeper leagues. He's unlikely to beat T.J. Hockenson in targets every […]
Amon-Ra St. Brown Remains Top Receiving Target
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown picked up where he left off last year, catching eight of his 12 targets for 64 yards and a touchdown.

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams rushed 11 times for 28 yards and two touchdowns and caught one pass for two yards. His day yielded 15 fantasy points in standard leagues and 16 fantasy points in PPR. Those who started Williams were rewarded, but it's tough to depend on only touchdowns for fantasy production. He'll […]
D'Andre Swift Totals 175 Yards In Loss
Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift rushed 15 times for 144 yards and caught all three of his targets for 31 yards in the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Unfortunately for Swift's fantasy managers, Jamaal Williams scored two goal-line touchdowns, but Swift was the far more efficient runner at 9.6 yards per carry and added […]
Jared Goff Throws Two Touchdowns In Opener
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff posted a respectable 19.5 fantasy points in the loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. Goff connected on 21-of-37 passing attempts for 215 yards and two passing touchdowns to one interception. The Lions' offense showed some life against what is expected to be a strong Eagles defense, so Goff could be worth […]

Austin Seibert Not Worth Consideration In Week 1
Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert is an uninspiring play in fantasy football, as the Detroit offense isn't expecting to be a high-scoring unit, and Detroit was a bottom-10 team in field goal attempts a season ago. Lions' head coach Dan Campbell is as aggressive as NFL coaches come, as the Lions led the NFL with […]
