Lions | Hendon Hooker may be cleared to practice Tue Nov 28, 09:19 AM
Detroit Lions QB Hendon Hooker (knee) may participate in practice this week, according to head coach Dan Campbell. Hooker is currently on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the young quarterback here, and we love him in deep dynasty formats. Hooker was injured late in his college career at Tennessee, and even though he had first-round talent he fell to the third round of the 2023 NFL draft. We're unlikely to see him this season, but by clearing him to practice the Lions will get a preview of what he could be in the pros. The upside to be a franchise quarterback is there with Hooker, and he could be the successor to Jared Goff one day. |

Lions | Jared Goff a turnover machine again in Week 12 Fri Nov 24, 03:58 PM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff finished 29-of-44 for 332 yards and two touchdowns in Week 12 versus the Green Bay Packers. Goff also added nine yards rushing on three carries but lost three fumbles.
| Footballguys view: Goff was terrorized by Rashan Gary in a game that will send the resurgent Lions back to the drawing board. He was still a strong fantasy play and should be next week at the Superdome. |

Lions | David Montgomery plowing through defenders Wed Nov 22, 02:59 AM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery ranks second among qualified rushers by averaging a broken tackle every 8.4 rush attempts, according to Pro Football Reference.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery missed time with a rib injury earlier this year, but he's come back and looked like his former self. A big part of his game is what he can do after contact. Montgomery does a good job of keeping his feet, and he will fight relentlessly for extra yards. |

| Footballguys view: Goff had three poor interceptions and had another throw that should have been a pick six at the Bears goal line, but he was excellent in two minute drill situations and did enough to win a game the Lions trailed 26-14 with 4:15 left. Goff is a high floor QB1 against the Packers on Thanksgiving. |

| Footballguys view: The Lions employed a true committee backfield for the first time this year, and both backs were able to come through for fantasy players. Montgomery's ceiling is down a little, but Gibbs has the look of a league winner with all but one game between now and Week 17 indoors. |
