Lions | Three receptions for Sam LaPorta Sun Sep 14, 06:27 PM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught three passes for 26 yards against the Chicago Bears in Week 2. He was targeted four times during the game.
| Footballguys view: LaPorta was the best fantasy passcatcher for the Lions while they struggled in Week 1, but he wasn't targeted much in a much easier game against the Bears that unlocked the downfield passing game. The Lions did throw a touchdown to a tight end, but it was Brock Wright. LaPorta is still a top five play against the Ravens next week. |

Detroit Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown caught nine passes for 115 yards and three touchdowns against the Chicago Bears in Week 2. He was targeted 11 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Like the rest of the Lions offense, St. Brown had a huge bounce back game in Week 2. He made it look easy all day facing Ben Johnson, who helped put St. Brown on the map in fantasy leagues when he was the Lions offensive coordinator. There was some talk that Jameson Williams would have a bigger role in the passing game this offseason, but St. Brown resoundingly showed he is still the clear #1 receiver in Week 2. |

Lions | Touchdown for David Montgomery Sun Sep 14, 06:00 PM
Detroit Lions RB David Montgomery rushed for 57 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries against the Chicago Bears in Week 2.
| Footballguys view: Montgomery was very effective against a Bears defense that has had trouble stopping the run and his team scored 50+ points, but he was still only an adequate flex play. He's just bench depth in fantasy leagues. |

Lions | Outstanding performance for Jared Goff Sun Sep 14, 05:51 PM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff went 23-for-28 for 334 yards and five touchdowns against the Chicago Bears in Week 2.
| Footballguys view: How good is the Packers defense to shut down Goff and the Lions passing game in Week 1? The Lions didn't seem to miss Ben Johnson at all in the first game against their old offensive coordinator. Goff remains a matchup QB1 who is better indoors, but the scoring potential of next week's game against the Ravens may incline you to put him in your lineup even though the game is outdoors. |

Lions | Isaac TeSlaa to be more involved Mon Sep 8, 02:49 PM
Detroit Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa (illness) received a limited workload in Week 1 because he missed practice time because an illness but will be more involved moving forward, according to head coach Dan Campbell.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, TeSlaa flashed in his limited opportunities in Week 1, scoring a highlight reel 13-yard touchdown on his lone target with 55 seconds left in the loss. The rookie third-rounder figures to see increased playing time immediately in Week 2 against the Vikings on Monday Night Football, though it could take time before he's given a genuine opportunity to surpass Kalif Raymond as the No. 3 receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. |

Link to story Lions | Isaac TeSlaa not seen at practice Tue Sep 2, 01:18 PM
Detroit Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa was not spotted at practice on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
| Footballguys view: There was no update on what is keeping TeSlaa out of practice. The next update we should get will come on Wednesday, when the Lions release their first injury report of the 2025 season. As The Sporting News noted, TeSlaa had an outstanding offseason that saw him shine in both training camp and the preseason. On Monday, head coach Dan Campbell revealed that TeSlaa will have a role on offense in Week 1, and he will also work on special teams. If TeSlaa doesn't suit up, Kalif Raymond will almost certainly see an increase in snaps on offense. |
Lions | Jared Goff struggled with pressure Mon Sep 1, 10:07 AM
Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff had the second-largest QBR decline last season when he was pressured compared with when he had a clean pocket.
| Footballguys view: Goff's decline when under pressure has been a persistent knock on him throughout his career. But he did show signs of improving last year. Take the Week 6 blowout win in Dallas. Per Next Gen Stats, Goff completed six of his seven pass attempts while under pressure in that game. The six completions netted 178 yards and two touchdowns. A week later, against the Vikings, Goff experienced a season-high 51.7 percent of his dropbacks under pressure. He completed 10 of his 11 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns on those plays. Hopefully, he can build on those performances. |

Lions | DET interested in extending Jameson Williams Sun Aug 31, 12:21 PM
The Detroit Lions have started discussions with WR Jameson Williams regarding a potential contract extension, according to general manager Brad Holmes.
| Footballguys view: This tends to corroborate reports that Williams role was being expanded in camp. It's possible that he and Amon-Ra St. Brown (who had a strong camp himself according to all reports) are more of a 1A/1B this year, which doesn't necessarily mean that St. Brown is overvalued. The Lions also have huge athletic third round pick Isaac TeSlaa, who dazzled in the preseason, as their newly minted #3 receiver. |
Lions | Aidan Hutchinson extension talks underway Sat Aug 30, 10:30 AM
The Detroit Lions and DE Aidan Hutchinson (leg) have started having discussions regarding a contract extension, according to general manager Brad Holmes.
| Footballguys view: That contract Micah Parsons got from the Packers (record-setting extension worth $188 million over four years) is going to change the structure for a Lions deal with Hutchinson. As one of the best EDGE defenders in the league, Hutchinson is likely to get a huge payday. However, he's returning from a major injury, having suffered season-ending tibia and fibula fractures last fall (October). |
