Lions | Questionable tag for David Montgomery Wed Sep 27, 04:06 PM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 27, and is listed as questionable for Week 4. The Lions did not hold a practice Wednesday, so this is an estimation.
| Footballguys view: The Lions play on Thursday night, and it looks like Montgomery will be out there against the Packers. If he does play in Week 4, we'll see how much Montgomery cuts into the touches for RB Jahmyr Gibbs. |

Lions | David Montgomery looking good for Week 4? Tue Sep 26, 02:08 PM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) appears to be on the right track to play in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers, according to comments from head coach Dan Campbell on Tuesday, Sept. 26.
| Footballguys view: The Lions play against the Packers on Thursday night. Montgomery could be back out there as their lead back, but the Lions should still mix things up with an RBBC featuring rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs as well. When Montgomery returns, Craig Reynolds should get a smaller role. |

Lions | Sam LaPorta finds end zone Sun Sep 24, 04:45 PM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught eight passes for 84 yards and one touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. He was targeted 11 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: LaPorta had a long score and was a frequent short range target for Jared Goff. He's looking like a strong high floor TE1 through three weeks, blowing up the long term trend of rookie tight ends needing time to matter in fantasy leagues, and showing his ceiling this week. He should be in lineups until further notice. |
Lions | Amon-Ra St. Brown surpasses 100-yard mark Sun Sep 24, 04:43 PM
Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown caught nine passes for 102 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. He was targeted 12 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: St. Brown was questionable with a toe injury coming into this one, but you wouldn't know it from his fantasy production. He had yet another catch inside the five, but Jared Goff finished the drive with a run. Even though St. Brown has been on the injury report, you have to feel good about taking him in drafts through three weeks. We'll watch his practice reports heading into a short week of rest and Thursday game at Green Bay. |

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs productive in Week 3 Sun Sep 24, 04:39 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 80 yards on 17 carries against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3.
| Footballguys view: The Lions trusted Gibbs as the lead back, including on inside runs, with David Montgomery sitting because of a thigh injury. While it wasn't a big game for fantasy, Gibbs showing that he can be trusted and productive on the tough runs is a good thing for his long term value. He'll probably start again vs. the Packers with a short week of rest for the Thursday game, and he's worth an RB2/Flex slot in your lineup. |
Lions | Jared Goff finishes with 243 yards Sun Sep 24, 04:32 PM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 22-for-33 for 243 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3. He also rushed for three yards and one touchdown on five carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Goff had one poor pass, but otherwise was steady and kept this offense on schedule all day in a balanced win for the Lions. He'll face the Packers on Thursday and should be in consideration as a high floor/low ceiling QB1. |

Lions | David Montgomery 'improving' Fri Sep 22, 11:34 AM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (thigh) is 'improving' in his recovery but will continue to work on the side at practice Friday, Sept. 22, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery is unlikely to go this weekend vs. Atlanta. Craig Reynolds should get the first shot at work in place of him, but #12 overall pick Jahmyr Gibbs should also see a few more touches and Zonovan Knight got called up from the practice squad and could be as good as or better than Reynolds. |

Lions | Another missed practice for David Montgomery Thu Sep 21, 01:32 PM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery (quad) did not participate in practice for a second straight day on Thursday, Sept. 21.
| Footballguys view: The Lions have other options in their backfield if Montgomery can't play in Week 3. Rookie RB Jahmyr Gibbs has star potential - if the team would use him more. They were excited to get him in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft, but Gibbs hasn't done as much as he could over two weeks. That might change as he continues to get up to speed in the pro game. Craig Reynolds might work his way into the mix with Gibbs if Montgomery is out. |

Lions | Amon-Ra St. Brown back at work Thu Sep 21, 01:21 PM
Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (toe) returned to practice on Thursday, Sept. 21.
| Footballguys view: St. Brown is a WR1 for Fantasy GMs as the Lions take on the Falcons in Week 3. He's not going to be 100 percent, and toe injuries can linger. It comes down to pain tolerance, and St. Brown is as tough as they come. He'll continue to be a big part of their passing attack so long as he suits up on gameday. |

He registered 49 snaps and finished the game against the Seahawks with six catches for 102 yards. This undisclosed injury has his status for Week 3 against the Falcons in question. If St. Brown has to miss time, the Lions have other weapons like WR Josh Reynolds, TE Sam LaPorta, and RB Jahmyr Gibbs to turn to. |
