Johnny Morton Takes Over Lions Offense

Johnny Morton Takes Over Lions Offense

The Lions named John Morton their new OC. He'll replace Ben Johnson, who took the Bears HC job after leading Detroit to three straight top-five finishes in both points and total yards. Morton was a senior offensive assistant for Johnson's first Lions squad in 2022 before spending the last two years as Broncos passing game coordinator. His only previous OC experience came at USC in 2009 and 2010 and with the Jets in 2017. That Jets team -- quarterbacked by Josh McCown and Bryce Petty -- ranked 28th in total yards and 24th in points. We won't hold that against Morton. He'll now be working with one of the most loaded offenses in the league, although it's fair to expect some dropoff in play-calling from Johnson to Morton.

Lions RB David Montgomery (knee) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report for the Divisional Round. He'll play in Saturday night's game vs. the Commanders -- and it looks like he might be ready for something close to his usual role. There are still questions about Montgomery's effectiveness in his first game back from his MCL injury, making him a risk/reward play in fantasy lineups.

Lions RB David Montgomery (knee) was listed as a full participant on Tuesday's practice report. Detroit only held a walkthrough, but this confirms that Montgomery is on track to play vs. the Commanders on Saturday. It's still unclear exactly how close to 100% he'll be for that one, a little less than five weeks after injuring his MCL. We'll keep tabs on his status.

Lions HC Dan Campbell said Tuesday that he expects RB David Montgomery (knee) to be available for the Divisional Round. Montgomery injured his right MCL on December 15 but chose rehab over surgery in hopes of returning for the playoffs. It looks like he'll hit that goal -- although it's unclear how effective Montgomery will be coming off the injury. He's a risky pick in NFL playoff fantasy contests but carries plenty of upside, especially if the Lions play three games. The news is a slight hit to RB Jahmyr Gibbs, but he remains the No. 2 RB in our playoff rankings.

Lions RB David Montgomery is targeting the Divisional Round for his return from an MCL injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Detroit will get the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye if they win out, so Montgomery might end up not missing any playoff games. Although risky, he could be a good pick in playoff fantasy football contests.
