Huddle Up: Especially in today's game, being a zone buster is a great thing for a receiver since the league utilizes zone defense over 70% of the time. St. Brown will almost certainly take a hit in production in 2025 with offensive coordinator Ben Johnson now running the show in Chicago and Jameson Williams bound to be more involved. With that said, it would be shocking if St. Brown fails to post a fourth consecutive season of at least 100 catches and 1,100 receiving yards.

Huddle Up: Williams is coming off a breakout 2024 season and should be more involved in the passing game this upcoming season. His big play ability helps his fantasy value, and he should be considered a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Montgomery has a terrific role in the Lions offense while sharing playing time with Jahmyr Gibbs and should have a similar role in 2025. He can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in all fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Goff has played very well since joining the Lions and is part of the one of the best offenses in the NFL. He probably will be a No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues but could be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in some deeper leagues.

Huddle Up: Goff has had a lot of success since joining the Lions but likely will try to cut down on the interceptions this season. He is still part of one of the better offenses in the NFL and can be a low-end No. 1 or a high-end No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: The Lions have had one of the better offensives in the NFL over the last few seasons, so there likely will not be any drastic changes to the scheme. Goff will have most of his pass catchers back this upcoming season and can be a low-end No. 1 or high-end No.2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: St. Brown has proven to be one of the toughest receivers in the league, so he is one of the best bets to play through an injury - or at less than 100% - and play well in the league. It remains to be seen if he can continue turning out 100-catch seasons with former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson now in Chicago and the development of Jameson Williams, but it seems likely he will. While it is fair to expect a small decline in his production, St. Brown is still one of the better WR1 bets again in fantasy this season.

Huddle Up: It should come as little surprise that Gibbs looks good in practices without pads given his athletic ability. Ditto for Williams. The most surprising name on this list - and not because he hasn't proven himself already - is LaPorta, who must either be catching everything thrown in his direction or have worked on his speed and explosion in the offseason. It will still be hard for LaPorta to repeat his rookie season with all the offensive weapons in Detroit, but it should not come as a surprise if he improves on last year's 60-726-7 line.

Huddle Up: The drumbeat is building with Williams. It is only natural to expect Williams to build on last season's breakout (58-1,001-7 in 15 games), but how much higher is the ceiling on an offense that loves to pound the rock and has one ball to feed Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs? Williams' fantasy managers should hope that Williams' newfound strength allows him to play a full 17-game schedule, which would naturally lead to him finishing with more catches, yards and touchdowns than he did in 2024. Consider Williams a strong fantasy WR3 with spike-week potential in any week.

Huddle Up: Morton sites how good Williams has been in meetings and his attention to detail as some of the reasons why the fourth-year receiver is about to have a career year. To be fair to Williams, two of his first three seasons were derailed by the ACL tear he suffered in college and the gambling suspension in 2023, which made 2024 the first year he has had something resembling a normal offseason. While the loss of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson will hurt this offense, Morton has coached with Johnson in the past and intends to keep Johnson's offense intact. As such, consider Williams a WR4 with huge upside in early drafts.

Huddle Up: TeSlaa is a name to keep in the memory bank, but it may not pay off this season unless injuries mow through Detroit. He's a big, quick receiver that the team traded up to land. They'll probably slow-play it early on because of their depth, but he's a dynasty option to consider.

Huddle Up: With the trio of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Sam LaPorta entrenched atop the depth chart, and solid veterans Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond also returning, TeSlaa could have a hard time breaking into the rotation as a rookie. As such, he offers nominal draft-day appeal in standard formats. It's a different story for those in keeper leagues as the team traded up to get TeSlaa and obviously plan to have him in the fold sooner than later.

Huddle Up: With Amon-Ra St. Brown already locked in to a lucrative deal, Williams' long-term future in the Motor City is murky. For fantasy owners, that could work in their favor as few things are more reliable in terms of added motivation than the prospect of putting together a big season ahead of unrestricted free agency. Williams already rates as a solid WR3, and there's some sneaky upside here as well.

Huddle Up: TeSlaa had 62 receptions for 896 yards and five touchdowns in 25 games at Arkansas, and he had zero drops. He was one of six receivers at the NFL Scouting Combine to measure 10-inch or larger hands. He sounds like he's destined for a third-down role and could be worthy of a WR5 pickup if he acclimates quickly.

Huddle Up: He had a 58-1,001-7 year last season. He's an absolute gamebreaker when he's on the field and WR3 worthy, but the problem has been keeping him on the field.

Huddle Up: Williams is coming off the best season of his early career and should continue to be a productive part of the passing game next season. He can be considered at least a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: The league considered the matter closed, which is good given that Williams has already been suspended twice in his young career. Coming off a breakout campaign, Williams should be viewed as a back-end WR2 option with week-winning upside.

Huddle Up: Goff was a surprise as the QB6 in fantasy, and provided he remains healthy, he could be in the QB7-12 range again next season. Look at him as a potential value pick in the middle of the QB run in your draft.

Huddle Up: Gibbs produced big plays all season, but he took his production to another level when David Montgomery missed time with an injury. Even as part of a committee, Gibbs has proven he can deliver RB1 production.

Huddle Up: While it makes a lot of sense for Detroit to use the threat of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery as often as possible, the concern for Goff's present and future fantasy managers is that the new offensive coordinator will not feature play-action as often as predecessor Ben Johnson did. Goff should still be a reliable low-end fantasy starter given his supporting cast, but he may not have quite the upside he occasionally did under Johnson.

Huddle Up: St. Brown continues to be one of the top receivers in the NFL and ranked in the top five in receptions (115), receiving yards (1,263) and touchdowns (12). He will be a significant part of the passing game again next season and will be a must-start option in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Goff will be working with a new offensive coordinator next season, so it is not known if he will be able to have similar numbers in 2025. He should still have most of his pass catchers next season but is probably a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Goff was crushed while trying to make a tackle on a pick six. If he is unable to return, Teddy Bridgewater will have to lead the Detroit offense.

Huddle Up: Montgomery will be involved in the offense against the Washington Commanders, but his workload is uncertain at this point. He was playing well before the injury and should be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Montgomery is on track to return to the lineup, but it is not known if he will receive his normal workload right away. He should still see a decent amount of touches during the game and can be at least a flex option in leagues.

Huddle Up: Montgomery surprisingly is on track to make his return after missing a few weeks due to an MCL sprain. How much his workload is impacted due to the quick turnaround is unclear, but it wouldn't be a surprise if Montgomery saw something close to his typical role alongside Jahmyr Gibbs.

Huddle Up: How much of a workload Montgomery will see immediately coming off the knee injury will be interesting. Jahmyr Gibbs has been on fire during Montgomery's absence, but the Lions probably want to take some of the load off the young running back. If Montgomery is fully back, he's a solid DFS play for managers to consider.

Huddle Up: The Lions' offense should be in good shape regardless of whether Montgomery is able to play, although it is undeniable that he is one of the best power runners in the league. The bigger question is if Montgomery will be fully recovered just over a month after suffering the injury. If not, he could play more of a complementary role to Jahmyr Gibbs, who once again proved he is more than capable of being a featured back during Montgomery's absence.

Huddle Up: Something of a forgotten man on offense for much of 2024, LaPorta finished strong, posting 32 catches, 341 yards, and 4 TDs over his final six games. That puts him right back into midrange TE1 territory and makes him a strong option for DFS players in the Divisional Round and beyond (assuming Detroit advances).

Huddle Up: Whereas Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown (and, to a lesser extent, Sam LaPorta) are the constants in Detroit's offense, Williams is the variable. He's the designated deep ball/big-play threat, and when he hits on one or more of those he can push toward WR2 territory. When he doesn't, you get games like Sunday night. He's a risk/reward WR3 each week, and that includes DFS formats.
