Lions Defense Not On Fantasy Radar
The Detroit Lions defense ranked dead-last in fantasy points per game last season (3.4) and is matched up with a loaded Philadelphia Eagles offense in Week 1. Additionally, the Eagles allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to D/STs last year. Detroit looks to be a much-improved team, but the defense is still expected to be a […]
T.J. Hockenson In Line For Large Role
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson missed the last few weeks of the 2021 regular season with a thumb injury but is expected to return to a large role in the Jared Goff-led offense. Hockenson posted a 21-percent target share last season and was the team's de facto No. 1 option before the breakout of […]
Josh Reynolds Listed As Starter For Detroit
Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds will be starting in three-wide sets, so he's worth paying attention to in the early part of the season. Jameson Williams will likely take his spot on the field when he returns from a knee injury, but Reynolds has some worth for now. That said, he looks to be […]
D.J. Chark An Intriguing Deep-League Option
Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark played in just four games last year for the Jaguars after breaking his ankle but looks to be ready to go for Week 1. Chark is an explosive deep-threat who could be considered a boom-or-bust fantasy play in 2022. He's reportedly built strong chemistry with Jared Goff, so he […]
Amon-Ra St. Brown A Solid Flex Option
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown posted a fantastic rookie season with 90 receptions, 912 yards, and five touchdowns last year. However, he did most of his damage when D'Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson were banged up or out of the lineup, so regression could be coming. For now, he's still worth starting thanks […]
Jamaal Williams A Deep-League Flex Option
Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams doesn't warrant consideration in shallow leagues, but for fantasy managers in a pinch at flex in deep leagues, he might be a solid option. D'Andre Swift is expected to be the lead back in the Lions offense, with Williams potentially getting some work in the red zone. His PPR […]
D'Andre Swift A Must-Start In Season Opener
Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift has been a hot name in fantasy football during the offseason and is poised for a breakout year as a top pass-catching back. The Eagles' front-seven looks strong on paper, but Swift should be viewed as an automatic starter in PPR leagues, regardless of matchup. Swift saw an 18.4-percent […]
Jared Goff A Low-End QB2 In Week 1
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a handful of strong performances in 2021, but he's still not viewed as an every-week starter in fantasy football. The Lions added D.J. Chark and get T.J. Hockenson back from injury, but until the offense shows promise, it's tough to trust its passing game. The Eagles allowed the 9th-most […]

Undervalued and Overvalued Tight Ends for 2022 Fantasy Football Drafts
As we all know the tight end pool is shallow. There are the top 10 and then it is a free for all. This is especially true when you are drafting. If you are not lucky enough to get the one of the top 10 projected tight ends (especially in PPR leagues) what are you […]
Lions Place Halapoulivaati Vaitai On Injured Reserve
