Lions | Amon-Ra St. Brown has low-ankle sprain Fri Nov 28, 10:28 AM
Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is believed to have suffered a low-ankle sprain. He's still being evaluated, but the Lions play just one game in the next 16 days.
| Footballguys view: The hope is that St. Brown misses only next week before returning in Week 15. Even then, that timing complicates things, as Week 15 is the first round of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. If that's his first game back, there will naturally be concerns about potential limitations. With the fantasy regular season running out of runway, every missed game carries real weight. St. Brown's toughness isn't in question. He's played through difficult injuries before. He's pushing to return soon, but fantasy managers will likely need a replacement for next week. In his absence, Jameson Williams gets a significant bump. Kalif Raymond is dealing with an ankle injury of his own, but if he's active next week and St. Brown isn't, Raymond should see near a full-time role. |

Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) may miss a week or two because of the ankle injury he suffered during the Week 13 game, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
| Footballguys view: Lions fans didn't get the win against the Packers, and Fantasy GMs lose St. Brown for a week or two. We'll know more about his status next week. The Lions are preparing to play the Cowboys on Thursday Night Football in Week 14. |

Lions | Brock Wright misses practice Mon Nov 24, 04:00 PM
Detroit Lions TE Brock Wright (neck) did not participate in practice Monday, Nov. 24. The Lions did not hold a practice Monday, so this is an estimation.
| Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus noted, the Lions elevated tight end Anthony Firkser from the practice squad before Sunday's win and ended up playing one more snap than Ross Dwelley, making him their second tight end. It's possible Firkser would be the Lions' primary tight end if Wright's injury keeps him from playing Thursday. |

Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown caught nine of 13 targets for a season-high 149 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 OT win over the New York Giants.
| Footballguys view: While the final numbers were fantastic, they could have been better. St. Brown dropped two passes, including his first target in the opening quarter. He now has a career-high four drops this season. Per ESPN.com, St. Brown had one drop in 152 targets all last season, all coming in one postseason game. On the other hand, his catch with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter was the 500th of his career, and fantasy managers will be no more worried about the drops than the Lions. Detroit hosts the Packers on Thanksgiving Day in Week 13. |

Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs ran 15 times for a career-high 219 yards and two touchdowns and caught a career-high 11 passes on 12 targets for 45 yards and another score in a Week 12 OT win over the New York Giants.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs accounted for 264 of the Lions' 494 yards and three of their four TDs. As NFL.com noted, Gibbs generated runs of 69 yards, 49 yards, 49 yards, and 10 yards. He earned 184 yards and both rushing touchdowns on carries between the tackles, the most such yards by any player this season, per Next Gen Stats. Detroit's offense needs to find more consistency against better teams, but as long as Gibbs is on the field, they're in good hands. They'll face the Packers on Thursday in Week 13. |

Lions | Jameson Williams on a hot streak Sat Nov 22, 10:44 AM
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams has caught a touchdown pass in three straight games, and he is averaging 91 receiving yards per game during that span compared to 41.3 yards over his first seven games.
| Footballguys view: The Lions are without TE Sam LaPorta, and that's impacting the production of others like Williams. He caught 4-of-7 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in the Lions' Week 11 loss to the Eagles. He's a WR2 with upside at least, but the hot streak has him in WR1 territory over the last three weeks. |
