Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 20. The Lions did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
Huddle Up: LaPorta did not play last week but seems to be on track to return to the lineup in Week 12. He will see a decent amount of targets if he is able to play and can be a starting option in fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) is "questionable to above" and is trending in the right direction to play in Week 12, head coach Dan Campbell said on Wednesday, Nov. 20.
Huddle Up: After having his best game of the season in Week 10, LaPorta wasn't able to suit up in Week 11 because of his shoulder injury. Initially diagnosed as day-to-day, LaPorta clearly has a great chance to return this week. He'll be a TE1 if he does.

Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams caught four passes for 124 yards and one touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. He was targeted six times during the game.
Huddle Up: Williams has posted at least 70 yards in five of his eight games this season and has two 100-yard games during that span. He will continue to see a good amount of targets each games and should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 11 passes for 161 yards and two touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. He was targeted 11 times during the game.
Huddle Up: St. Brown has caught a touchdown in each of the last eight games and posted his third 100-yard game of the season against the Jaguars. He is a must-start option in all fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 69 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. He also caught one pass for 54 yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Gibbs is a big part of the offense for the Lions and has rushed for a touchdown in four of the last five games. He will continue to see plenty of touches and should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/17/2024 10:55 pm GMT
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery rushed for 75 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. He also caught three passes for 20 yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Montgomery continues to play well even though he is sharing playing time with Jahmyr Gibbs. He has rushed for four touchdowns in the last four games and should be a starting option in all leagues as long as he is healthy.

Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 24-for-29 for 412 yards and four touchdowns against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. He also rushed for 21 yards on four carries during the game.
Huddle Up: Goff has thrown for at least two touchdowns in eight of his 10 games this season and his 412 yards were a season high. He will face the Indianapolis Colts next week and can be a low-end No. 1 quarterback in some deeper leagues.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) did not practice for the third straight day on Friday, Nov. 15, and was ruled out for Week 11.
Huddle Up: Lions head coach Dan Campbell said LaPorta was day-to-day earlier in the week, so his injury isn't serious. With LaPorta sidelined, Brock Wright will be the biggest beneficiary, but he is not a viable lineup option.

Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 14.
Huddle Up: LaPorta appears to be questionable at best for the Week 11 game, so fantasy players should continue to monitor the situation over the next few days. He can be a starting tight end in most leagues if he is cleared to play.
Posted 11/13/2024 7:10 pm GMT
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: LaPorta was revealed to have a sprain of the AC joint that leaves him day-to-day, head coach Dan Campbell said on Monday. The lack of a practice on Wednesday means he is in danger of not playing in Week 11. Brock Wright would be LaPorta's replacement but isn't a suggested lineup option. Of course, LaPorta is a TE1 if he suits up.
Posted 11/11/2024 9:30 pm GMT
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) is considered day-to-day because of his shoulder injury, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to keep an eye on LaPorta's practice participation this week to have a better understanding of his status for Week 11. He is coming off his best game of the season and has a touchdown in three of the last five games. He can be a low-end No. 1 tight end if he is able to play.
Posted 11/11/2024 3:34 pm GMT
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) has a sprained AC joint and could miss a week, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
Huddle Up: The good news is that sprained AC joints are typically about managing pain. So it's not a forgone conclusion that he'll be out for Week 11. Watch and prepare as if he will, though, but he's not exactly replaceable in fantasy.

Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams caught three passes for 53 yards in a Week 10 win over the Houston Texans. He was targeted five times.
Huddle Up: Back from a two-game suspension, Williams had a couple of nice plays, though 53 yards represented his third-lowest output of 2024. He still hasn't caught more than three passes in a game since Week 2, leaving him with a narrow path to value each week. He has WR3 (or maybe even WR2) upside every time he suits up, but you have to make peace with the notion that he could deliver very little some weeks.

Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown had six receptions (on eight targets) for 60 yards and a touchdown during the team's comeback win over the Houston Texans on Sunday, Nov. 10.
Huddle Up: At this point, it's the touchdowns that are keeping St. Brown as a weekly starter as the 2023 All-Pro is well below his pace from last season in receptions and yardage. A year ago, he finished with a 119-1,515-10 line. Through nine games, he's on pace for 102-990-13. As noted, he should stay glued to your lineup, but he's not really producing like a true fantasy WR1.
Posted 11/11/2024 5:35 am GMT
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery had 12 carries, 32 yards, and a touchdown versus the Houston Texans in Week 10. He added a 24-yard catch on two targets.
Huddle Up: The touchdown was nice -- it was his eighth on the year -- but we also saw the continuation of a troubling trend with Montgomery rushing for less than 40 yards in a game for the third time in the past four weeks. He's supplemented it to a degree with decent receiving yards, but he's not a volume pass catcher, so that's not a safe source of value. The veteran is still a solid low-end RB2 type with a little upside, but his production has noticeably slowed following a hot start.
Posted 11/11/2024 5:20 am GMT
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran the ball 19 times for 71 yards against the Houston Texans on Sunday, Nov. 10. He added two receptions (on three targets) for 37 yards.
Huddle Up: Back indoors after traveling to Green Bay the week before, Gibbs topped 100 yards of total offense for the third time in his last four games. His touchdown streak came to an end at three games, however, and his 3.7 yards per carry were his lowest since the opener against the Rams (3.6). He remains a must-start RB1.
Posted 11/11/2024 5:04 am GMT
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff completed 15 of his 30 passing attempts for 240 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions versus the Houston Texans on Sunday, Nov. 10. He ran once for two yards.
Huddle Up: For a player that's typically accurate and smart with the football, Goff's performance on Sunday night bordered on stunning. While one INT came on a Hail Mary before halftime, and another on what was a glorified fumble, Goff still made several ill-advised throws and was generally off the mark. He'll look to rebound against a Jacksonville defense that has looked shaky for much of 2024 but did pick off Sam Darnold three times on Sunday.
Posted 11/10/2024 3:06 am GMT
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams returns from a two-game suspension to face the Houston Texans, and entering Week 10, the Texans had allowed a league-high 19 touchdown passes.
Huddle Up: Houston hasn't given up a ton of passing yards, but opponents have had no trouble finding the end zone through the air. Williams could deliver a couple of big plays on his way to a strong showing in his return.
Posted 11/04/2024 3:37 am GMT
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught two of his three targets for 28 yards in a 24-14 win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Even with Jameson Williams serving a suspension, LaPorta had two catches or less for the fifth times in eight games. He's a low-end TE1.
Posted 11/04/2024 3:31 am GMT
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 11 times for 65 yards and a touchdown and caught an 11-yard pass in a 24-14 win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 9.
Huddle Up: Gibbs continues to thrive despite sharing carries with David Montgomery. However, it would be nice to see him more involved in the passing game. After logging 11 receptions over the first two games, Gibbs has just nine catches in the last six contests.
Posted 11/01/2024 8:07 pm GMT
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff (ankle) practiced in full for the second straight day on Friday, Nov. 1, and was removed from the injury report for Week 9.
Huddle Up: Goff draws a tough matchup against a good Green Bay Packers defense this week, but he remains a high-end QB2 play.
Posted 10/31/2024 8:05 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Oct. 31.
Huddle Up: Goff twisted his ankle earlier in the week but appears to be on track to play against the Green Bay Packers. He can be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues but probably will be avoided in most standard leagues.
Posted 10/27/2024 9:02 pm GMT
Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown caught two passes for seven yards and one touchdown against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. He was targeted two times during the game.
Huddle Up: The Lions did not have to throw much this week, so St. Brown was held to only seven yards. He should be more involved in the offense next week and is a weekly starting option in all leagues when healthy.
Posted 10/27/2024 8:53 pm GMT
Detroit Lions WR Kalif Raymond caught two passes for 14 yards and one touchdown against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. He also returned a punt 90 yards for a touchdown during the game.
Huddle Up: Raymond has caught a touchdown in each of the last two games and will see a few extra targets while Jameson Williams is out of the lineup. He could be a possible flex option in some deeper leagues but probably can be avoided in most leagues.
Posted 10/27/2024 8:50 pm GMT
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught six passes for 48 yards and one touchdown against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. He was targeted six times during the game.
Huddle Up: LaPorta is not posting the same numbers he did last season but does have a touchdown in two of the last three games. He should see a decent amount of targets next week and can be a No. 1 tight end in most leagues.
Posted 10/27/2024 8:49 pm GMT
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery rushed for 33 yards and one touchdown on nine carries against the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. He also threw a three-yard touchdown pass during the game.
Huddle Up: Montgomery has recorded a rushing touchdown in six of his seven games this season and will continue to share playing time with Jahmyr Gibbs moving forward. He can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
