Lions D/ST Has Tough Matchup Against Seattle

The Detroit Lions defense/special teams is a risky option against the Seahawks in Week 4.

With eight team sacks through three games, that is a strength […]

Jake Bates Not Yet A Trusted Kicker Option

Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates is a perfect 5-for-5 on his field goal attempts so far this season but none have come from more than 35 yards out. He did miss an extra point last week at Arizona. He has a decent matchup in Week 4 against the Seahawks at Ford Field but until he […]

Sam LaPorta Good To Go For Monday Night

Amon-Ra St. Brown Emerging In Lions' Offense

After a quiet Week 1, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has started to make some noise again the past two weeks. He saw 18 targets and caught 11 passes for 119 yards in Week 2 against Tampa Bay. In Week 3 at Arizona, St. Brown hauled in seven of his eight targets for […]

David Montgomery Looks To Keep Rolling In Week 4

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery should continue his featured rushing role in the team's backfield in a Week 4 matchup against Seattle on Monday night.

Jahmyr Gibbs Remains Heavily Involved For Lions

Jahmyr Gibbs has been featured in the Lions' backfield so far this season alongside David Montgomery and that should continue to be the case in Week 4.
