Lions QB Jared Goff set season highs Sunday in pass attempts (59), completions (38), passing yards (494), and TDs (5) in the loss to the Bills. He found five different teammates for TDs, as Detroit dropped back more than four times as much as it ran the ball.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught three of six targets for only six yards, but found the end zone twice. His first game being a major red zone target saw some life for the disappointing fantasy TE.
Lions RBs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery didn’t score for the first time since Week 6 of 2023. The Lions opted for TE Sam LaPorta near the goal line. The stat lines were still solid with Montgomery rushing 21 times for 88 yards while also catching all three of his targets for 36 yards. Gibbs ran nine times for 87 yards and also caught two of four targets for 17 yards.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. He was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, and we’re expecting him to play his usual role in this one.
Lions RB David Montgomery (shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Bears. There’s some risk that his workload is scaled back — or that he aggravates the shoulder injury in-game. But Montgomery also boasts big upside against Chicago’s 25th-ranked RB defense.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Bears. He was a full-go in Wednesday's practice, and we've heard nothing to suggest that he's in legitimate danger of missing this one. St. Brown can stay penciled into Week 13 fantasy lineups. Just check back around 11 am ET tomorrow to make sure he's active.
Lions RB David Montgomery (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game vs. the Bears. He put in a full practice on Wednesday, though, and all indications are that he's on track to play. We'll get Detroit's inactives around 11 am ET tomorrow.
The Lions will place WR Kalif Raymond (foot) on IR, knocking him out for at least the next four games, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Raymond has run a route on just 36% of Detroit's pass plays this season and averaged 1.9 targets per game, so there's minimal fantasy impact here. We'll likely see WR Tim Patrick play more snaps with Raymond out, but he remains off the redraft radar.
Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) was limited in Tuesday's practice. This seems to be a legitimate injury, rather than just early-week rest. But HC Dan Campbell said he feels "pretty good" about St. Brown playing vs. the Bears on Thanksgiving. We'll update his status again tomorrow.
Lions RB David Montgomery (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Tuesday. HC Dan Campbell said he feels "pretty good" about Montgomery's status for Thursday's game vs. the Bears. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow, but Montgomery can be penciled into Week 13 fantasy lineups for now.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta didn't reach 6 targets in any of the Lions' first six games this season. He has now down so in three of his past four, surrounding an inactive Week 11. LaPorta's 6 targets in Sunday's win over the Colts trailed co-leaders Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams (7 apiece) but beat No. 4, WR Tim Patrick, by two.
Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs tallied 90 yards and 2 TDs on 21 carries in Sunday's easy win over the Colts. Gibbs benefited late from RB David Montgomery's third-quarter departure for a shoulder injury. He tallied 48 yards and a TD on 9 carries after Montgomery's last touch for the day.
Lions QB Jared Goff went a solid 26 of 36 passing (72.2%) for 269 yards (7.47 yards per attempt) in Sunday's win over the Colts. But all three of Detroit's TDs went to RBs, on the ground.
Lions RB David Montgomery (shoulder) said after Sunday's win over the Colts that he expects to play vs. the Bears on Thanksgiving. Montgomery never returned after injuring his shoulder midway through the third quarter, but Detroit had a comfortable lead and Montgomery remained on the sidelines with his helmet. We'll keep tabs on his status over the next few days, but fantasy owners can tentatively expect to have Montgomery available in Week 13.
Lions RB David Montgomery is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Colts with a shoulder injury. Prior to the injury, Montgomery tallied 37 yards and 1 TD on 8 carries.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He should be ready to play his usual role on Sunday against the Colts’ 30th-ranked TE defense.
Lions TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. HC Dan Campbell confirmed that LaPorta is "trending the right way" for this weekend's game vs. the Colts. Although he's been one of the most disappointing players in fantasy football this season, LaPorta has finished as a top-8 TE in two of his last three outings. And Sunday brings a matchup against the league's 30th-ranked TE defense.
Lions LB Alex Anzalone left Sunday's game with an injury to his left forearm. HC Dan Campbell said afterward that Anzalone suffered a fracture that will knock him out for 6-8 weeks.
This was the first big game from Lions WR Jameson Williams since his suspension catching a 64-yard TD with a final stat line of four catches on six targets for 124 yards.
The Lions leaned on the run and explosive pass plays once again this week. Lions RB David Montgomery ended with 15 carries for 75 yards and two TDs. He also caught three passes for 20 yards. RB Jahmyr Gibbs ended with 11 carries for 69 yards and a TD along with one 54 yard catch.
