Lions | Sam LaPorta placed on IR Sat Nov 15, 04:08 PM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Nov. 15.
| Footballguys view: Back injuries are tricky to deal with, so LaPorta needs plenty of time to properly heal. On IR, LaPorta is out for at least the next four games. Brock Wright steps into more snaps at tight end, and there should be an increase in targets for guys like Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. |

Lions | Isaac TeSlaa added to injury report Sat Nov 15, 02:32 PM
Detroit Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) was added to the Week 11 injury report Saturday, Nov. 15, because of oblique injury and is listed as questionable for the game.
| Footballguys view: The Lions play on Sunday night against the Eagles, and adding TeSlaa to the injury report on Saturday is not a great sign for his status. The Lions are jam-packed at the skill positions anyway, so only Fantasy GMs with deep benches are stashing the talented rookie receiver. |
Lions | Several players ruled out Sat Nov 15, 02:28 PM
Detroit Lions DE Marcus Davenport (shoulder), CB D.J. Reed (hamstring), LB Malcolm Rodriguez (knee) and OG Miles Frazier (knee) have been ruled out of the Week 11 game.

Lions | Patrick O'Connor to miss time Fri Nov 14, 07:51 PM
Detroit Lions DE Patrick O'Connor (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Nov. 14.
Link to story Lions | Brock Wright listed as questionable Fri Nov 14, 04:53 PM
Detroit Lions TE Brock Wright (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Nov. 14, and is listed as questionable for Week 11.
| Footballguys view: With Sam LaPorta out, the Lions would really be hurting without Wright. Wright plays mostly as a blocking tight end but can step in as a pass catcher when needed. He's off the fantasy radar. However, if he's unable to play, expectations for the Lions' run game should be slightly tempered. |

Lions | Sam LaPorta to miss Week 11 Fri Nov 14, 04:07 PM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (back) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 14, and has been ruled out for Week 11.
| Footballguys view: LaPorta has been a steady and reliable target in the intermediate areas all year. In his absence, Brock Wright should see extra work. The real winner, though, is Amon-Ra St. Brown, who should see even more than his already massive workload. Jameson Williams has started to heat up over the past few weeks, helping the entire Lions offense get back on track. LaPorta hopes to return to practice next week. |

Lions | Jamison Williams front and center in win over Commanders Sun Nov 9, 09:46 PM
Jameson Williams caught six passes for 119 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' 44-22 win over the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Dan Campbell took over for OC John Morton as the playcaller for the Lions, and the most notable difference was that Williams had his best game of the season. Morton acknowledged two weeks ago that he failed to get Williams involved enough in the offense. That wasn't a problem today, with Campbell calling the plays. We hope it becomes the new normal. The Lions will play the Eagles in Week 11. |
Lions | Jared Goff tosses three TDs in Washington Sun Nov 9, 09:45 PM
Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 25 of 33 passes for 320 yards, with three touchdowns and no interceptions, before exiting Detroit's blowout win in the fourth quarter.
| Footballguys view: Goff and the Lions bounced back from last week's stunning loss to Minnesota with a dominant 44-22 win at Washington. But it's tough to tell whether the offensive explosion was a result of the Commanders' struggling defense or Detroit's adjustments since last week. Coach Dan Campbell seemingly took over the offensive playcalling duties from first-year coordinator John Morton, as Campbell was spotted talking into a headset between plays with a play sheet in his hands. Whatever the case, the results were great. We'll hope for more of the same against the Eagles in Week 11. |

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs scores three touchdowns in win over Commanders Sun Nov 9, 09:37 PM
Jahmyr Gibbs was unleashed in Sunday's win over the Commanders. On his first 12 touches versus Washington, he amassed 105 yards and two scores, and he finished with 172 scrimmage yards and three TDs.
| Footballguys view: With HC Dan Campbell taking over as playcaller, Gibbs scored his 41st career touchdown, joining Hall of Famer Barry Sanders as the only players in Lions history to score 40 or more touchdowns within their first three seasons. Sanders had 47 from 1989 to 1991. It was also Gibbs' fourth career game with a rushing touchdown and a receiving touchdown, which is the second most in Lions history behind Sanders (five). Gibbs was coming off a career-low 28 scrimmage yards on a season-low 12 touches in Week 9. The Lions play the Eagles in Week 11. |

Lions | HC Dan Campbell takes over playcalling for win over Commanders Sun Nov 9, 09:36 PM
Lions head coach Dan Campbell was the primary offensive play caller in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.
| Footballguys view: Campbell said after the game that he took over for offensive coordinator John Morton because he thought the Lions' offense needed a spark, but that Morton remained an integral part of the offensive decision-making. "Let's try something a little different," Campbell said. "I know what I want to do, I know how I want to do it. That being said, this is a collaborative effort. I was taking input from John Morton." While nobody would say this offense was struggling, fantasy investors aren't going to complain after Sunday's output. |

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.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, St. Brown tied Sam LaPorta for the team lead in receiving yards while setting the pace in both receptions and targets on the afternoon. St. Brown now has at least seven catches in six of eight contests this season. St. Brown, who was briefly slowed by leg cramps late in the game, will naturally remain a centerpiece of Detroit's air attack when the Lions attempt to bounce back from Sunday's loss in a Week 10 road matchup against the Commanders. |
