Lions Defensive Coordinator Steps Down
Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni stepped down on Thursday after coaching one of the worst defenses in 2019.

David Blough Underwhelms in Week 17
Detroit Lions quarterback David Blough completed just 12 of his 29 pass attempts for 122 scoreless yards and an interception in the Lions Week 17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The rookie quarterback was unable to win any of his five starts after being thrust into the starting role when both Matthew Stafford (back) […]
Kerryon Johnson Scores In Loss To Packers
Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson ran 11 times for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Lions Week 17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. A decent ending to an otherwise unspectacular season for Johnson. The Lions finally decided to give him a workhorse role this season, but after getting injured for the second […]
Danny Amendola Throws Touchdown Pass In Week 17 Loss
Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola had a disappointing game in the Lions Week 17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Amendola caught just two balls for 16 scoreless yards on the day. He was able to slightly salvage his day with a 19-yard touchdown pass to quarterback David Blough. It has been a seesaw […]
Kenny Golladay Suffers Head Injury
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (head) is being evaluated for a concussion in Week 17 against the Packers. Before leaving, Golladay had three grabs for 72 yards. With nothing to play for in the regular season finale, we'd be surprised if Golladay returns for this game, which would be really bad news for those […]
Matt Prater Active Against Packers
Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater (illness) is active for Week 17 against the Packers. With Detroit's offense playing out the string in a lost season and struggling to put up points with third-string quarterback David Blough at the helm, Prater must be avoided in all fantasy formats for the Week 17 regular season finale. He's […]

Danny Amendola A Risky Week 17 Start
Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola came crashing back down to earth in Week 16. After receiving 29 targets over the previous three games, Amendola saw just three against the Denver Broncos. There is a good chance that Amendola gets targeted more in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers, but those extra targets may […]
Kerryon Johnson An RB3 In Week 17
Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson returned to action in Week 16 even with the Lions playoff hopes non-existent. Johnson did post a solid 4.2 YPC in the game but was otherwise a non-factor for most of the afternoon. A negative game script could affect Johnson in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers, but […]
Kenny Golladay A Fringe WR2 Against Packers
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (chest) is questionable but expected to play in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers after taking limited practice reps on Friday. Golladay has been wildly inconsistent without Matthew Stafford (back) under center, but came through in Week 16 with six catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on […]
David Blough Not A Recommended Week 17 Start
Detroit Lions quarterback David Blough completed only 50% of his pass attempts in Week 16, and has seen his production steadily drop in each game since he took over for Jeff Driskel (hamstring). Things won't get any easier for Blough in Week 17 with the Green Bay Packers coming to town. Matthew Stafford passed for […]
