Detroit Lions TE Brock Wright finished with two receptions for eight yards on seven targets in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Huddle Up: Wright is filling in for Sam LaPorta, who is on the Reserve/Injured list, but he is not the same player, and not even close. Still, he could be a potential TE2 or flex target in Week 12, especially with a much more favorable matchup against the New York Giants at home.
Posted 11/17/2025 4:55 am GMT
Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown posted just two receptions for 42 yards on 12 targets in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Huddle Up: Jared Goff was trying to get the ball to St. Brown, as he easily had the most targets on the team, but a tenacious pass rush threw off the quarterback's timing all night. St. Brown should be able to bounce back in Week 12 at home against the Giants. He remains a low-end WR1 in all fantasy leagues for that one.

Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams had four receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in the Week 11 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He also had a 9-yard run on his only rushing attempt.
Huddle Up: Williams was blanked a few weeks ago, and the Lions have rectified that, taking advantage of his speed. He found the end zone in the second quarter, but then also had an unsportsmanlike penalty for a celebration, costing fantasy managers of Jake Bates and the Lions TMPK an extra point as a result. He remains a solid WR2 in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 12 against the visiting New York Giants.
Posted 11/17/2025 4:48 am GMT
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery posted six runs for 27 yards in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, while adding a 10-yard reception on his lone target.
Huddle Up: Montgomery saw his targets taken by Jahmyr Gibbs, who was used catching more balls out of the backfield than usual, since Gibbs struggled in the run game a bit. That cost Montgomery, as he was barely used. He remains a solid low-end RB2 or flex fantasy option in most leagues, still, and he should have a lot more production in Week 12 against the visiting New York Giants.

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs struggled running the ball in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, posting 39 yards on 12 carries. However, he had five receptions for a game-high 107 yards on eight targets.
Huddle Up: It wasn't pretty, and he didn't find the end zone, but he still didn't leave his fantasy managers empty-handed. He remains an obviously RB1 in all fantasy leagues heading into a favorable matchup against the New York Giants in Week 12.
Posted 11/17/2025 4:43 am GMT
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 14-of-37 passes for 255 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles, and he ran once for minus-1 yard.
Huddle Up: Goff is usually extremely accurate. In fact, he had the best completion percentage in the NFL heading into Week 11. However, this was a disaster. Yes, it was windy, but the Eagles defense and pass rush had a lot to do with throwing off his timing, too. Goff and the Lions look t rebound at Ford Field against the New York Giants in Week 12.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Nov. 15.
Huddle Up: LaPorta will miss at least the next four games, so fantasy players should keep an eye on his status for the next several weeks. Brock Wright will likely take over as the starting tight end for the Lions with LaPorta out. He will probably see a few targets each game but is unlikely to be a starting option in most leagues.
Posted 11/14/2025 9:53 pm GMT
Detroit Lions TE Brock Wright (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 14, and is listed as questionable for Week 11.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor Wright's status because he will likely start if he is active for the game. He will see a few targets if he plays but can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/14/2025 9:07 pm GMT
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (back) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 14, and has been ruled out for Week 11.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation to see how long LaPorta will be sidelined. Brock Wright is in line to join the starting lineup, but he is also dealing with an injury. Fantasy players may want to avoid all of the Lions tight ends this week.
Posted 11/12/2025 9:54 pm GMT
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (back) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 12.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation during the week to see if LaPorta will be able to play in Week 11. He has posted at least 50 yards in four of his last five games and has three touchdowns during that span. He will be a No. 1 tight end in all leagues if he is able to play.
Posted 11/10/2025 3:18 am GMT
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught all five of his targets for 53 yards in a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 10.
Huddle Up: LaPorta has now finished with at least five receptions and 50-plus receiving yards in four of his last five games, and he seems to have carved out a steady roll in the passing attack. LaPorta looks like a weekly TE1 at this point.
Posted 11/10/2025 3:09 am GMT
Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown caught five of his eight targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 10.
Huddle Up: The five receptions were actually the fewest for St. Brown since the season opener, but he continues to be one of the steadiest performers at the receiver position. St. Brown has been targeted at least six times in every game, logging eight or more targets in seven of his nine games.
Posted 11/10/2025 3:05 am GMT
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams caught six of his seven targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 10.
Huddle Up: The six receptions and 119 yards were both season highs for Williams, and he has now scored in three of his last four games. After a horribly slow start, Williams is finally starting to find a rhythm. Consider him a WR3 with upside.
Posted 11/10/2025 3:00 am GMT
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery rushed 15 times for 71 yards and didn't gain a yard on his lone reception in a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 10.
Huddle Up: Montgomery split carries evenly with Jahmyr Gibbs, but the latter doubled up Montgomery in rushing yards and scored three total touchdowns. Montgomery remains a valuable part of the Detroit offense, but he is a flex option with occasional RB2 upside.
Posted 11/10/2025 2:54 am GMT
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs finished with 15 carries for 142 yards and two touchdowns and caught three passes for 30 yards and a score in a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 10.
Huddle Up: Gibbs bounced back from his worst performance of the year by topping 170 yards from scrimmage for the second time in his last three games. It was an emphatic reminder that he is still one of the elite backs in the league.
Posted 11/10/2025 2:48 am GMT
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 25 of his 33 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns in a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 10.
Huddle Up: Goff has now tossed multiple touchdowns in five of his last six games, and he has 13 touchdowns and two interceptions in that span. Goff continues be a solid QB2 with QB1 upside against friendly matchups.
Posted 11/03/2025 1:12 am GMT
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams caught four of his six targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in a 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9.
Huddle Up: A week after being held without a catch, Williams had one of his better outings of the season. He has now topped 60 yards and scored in two of the last three games, and he may finally be rediscovering his role in the offense. For now, Williams can be considered a boom-or-bust flex option.
Posted 11/03/2025 1:06 am GMT
Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown caught a team-high nine passes on 13 targets for 97 yards in a 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9.
Huddle Up: St. Brown had another busy afternoon, and he continues to be one of the most reliable receivers in the NFL. Through his first eight games, he has logged at least seven receptions and 70 receiving yards six times. He is a WR1 in all formats with even more upside in PPR formats.
Posted 11/03/2025 1:02 am GMT
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught six of his eight targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in a 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9.
Huddle Up: LaPorta has been hitting his stride in recent weeks, topping 50 yards and scoring a touchdown in three of of the last four games. LaPorta has topped 90 yards twice in that span, and he looks like the No. 2 option in the Detroit passing attack and a TE1 in all formats.
Posted 11/03/2025 12:57 am GMT
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery rushed 11 times for 40 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 10 yards in a 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9. He also lost a fumble.
Huddle Up: With Jahmyr Gibbs struggling, Montgomery ended up leading Detroit in carries, rushing yards and total yards. He has played second fiddle to Gibbs most of the year, but Montgomery still logs enough touches to be a flex option.
Posted 11/03/2025 12:53 am GMT
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs rushed nine times for 25 yards and caught three passes for three yards in a 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Minnesota was able to bottle up Gibbs all afternoon, holding him to his lowest rushing total since the opener and his fewest total yards of the season. Gibbs has been one of the better backs in the league overall, so expect him to bounce back to his typical RB1 status against Washington in Week 10.
Posted 11/03/2025 12:47 am GMT
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 25 of his 37 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns in a 27-24 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Detroit's offense appeared to lack rhythm most of the afternoon, but Goff's final line was respectable. He now has multiple touchdowns in four of the last five games, and he remains a steady QB2 option.
Posted 11/01/2025 12:59 am GMT
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams faces the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9, and Williams managed a combined seven catches for 30 yards in two meetings with Minnesota last season.
Huddle Up: Williams has endured a miserable 2025 season, and while offensive coordinator John Morton recently said he needs to do a better job of involving Williams in the offense, that could be easier said than done. Williams struggled to make an impact against Minnesota during his 1,000-yard campaign last year, so banking on a breakout performance from him this weekend is a risky proposition.
Posted 10/31/2025 2:15 am GMT
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams met with offensive coordinator John Morton to discuss how to have Williams become more involved in the offense. "So I looked at everything, and I failed him," Morton said. "That's what I told him. I have to do a better job with that."
Huddle Up: Williams has just 17 receptions all year, and he was held without a catch the last time out. After topping 1,000 yards and emerging as a big-play weapon last season, Williams has faded into obscurity within the Detroit offense. It remains to be seen if the Lions will be more intentional about involving Williams, and in the meantime, he is an all-or-nothing flex option.
Posted 10/29/2025 3:26 pm GMT
Detroit Lions DE Aidan Hutchinson agreed to a four-year, $180 million extension Wednesday, Oct. 29. The deal guarantees him $141 million and pays $45 milion annually.
Huddle Up: Hutchinson is sixth among DL in fantasy points despite playing in only six games. He has 16 total tackles, six sacks and four forced fumbles.
Posted 10/21/2025 3:32 am GMT
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams went without a reception on just two targets in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Huddle Up: It was a defensive slog, with the Lions scratching out a 24-9 win, with two rushing scores and one passing TD to Amon-Ra St. Brown. Still, there were other receivers who had decent yardage totals, while Williams disappeared. It was a bummer for fantasy managers, and Williams has been a big-time boom-or-bust option this season. You won't need to worry about rolling the dice with him in Week 8, as Detroit has its bye week.
Posted 10/21/2025 3:29 am GMT
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta ended up with just three receptions for a season-low 15 yards on three targets in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Huddle Up: LaPorta has managed at least three receptions in all seven of his games, which is good news, but he saw his modest two-game touchdown streak snapped. He remains a No. 1 fantasy option despite the stinker, but you'll need to make alternate plans in Week 8 with Detroit on its bye.
Posted 10/21/2025 3:17 am GMT
Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown ended up with six receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Huddle Up: St. Brown has managed six or more receptions in six consecutive games, and he has been targeted at least nine times in each of the past three outings. He also has seven touchdowns in seven games this season. He is a top-tier WR1 in all fantasy formats, but managers will need to go another way in Week 8 with Detroit on its bye.
