No Sam LaPorta or Terrion Arnold for the Lions. Amik Robertson plans to take his availability to gameday, see if he can go

Related Players: Brock Wright, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Kalif Raymond

Brock Wright is closer to the "blocking" TE prototype than someone we should be plugging into fantasy lineups, so he's out of fantasy consideration. ARSB/Jamo/Raymond could have a few more targets spread around for them, but we may be seeing a few more carries out of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

Lions OC John Morton on Isaac TeSlaa: "His role will be expanded."

Said he has confidence in TeSlaa's understanding of the offense.

TeSlaa turned three offensive snaps into an insane late-game touchdown catch, so it's fair to say that he's earned it. We would expect more playing time to come at Kalif Raymond's expense, but it's still too early to consider TeSlaa a fantasy consideration.

The Detroit Lions are ready to get rookie receiver Isaac TeSlaa more involved in their offense.

Lions coach Dan Campbell said Monday in Allen Park he hopes to give TeSlaa a bigger role going forward.

TeSlaa is probably a more familiar name to those in dynasty leagues, but he was considered a later round sleeper who was perhaps blocked a bit by those in front of him on the Lions depth chart. TeSlaa played just three of 67 offensive snaps but scored the Lions' lone touchdown against the Packers. It's easy to see TeSlaa working his way up to the team's WR3 role behind St. Brown and newly-extended Williams. But the Lions also have a quality tight end in LaPorta and of course Gibbs at running back who will both demand targets. It's at least a good sign the Lions will look to get him more snaps, and having fantasy stock in what should be a high-powered offense in Detroit is never a bad thing. TeSlaa is still probably best owned in slightly deeper leagues.

The Lions have exercised the 2026 fifth-year team options on DE Aidan Hutchison and WR Jameson Williams.

Good news for fantasy, as there aren't many better places for Williams to be than alongside ARSB and Sam LaPorta clogging up the middle of defenses. Williams should continue to operate as a nice boom-bust WR3 option, even if the Lions tack on some WR talent through the NFL Draft.

Good news for the #Lions: RB David Montgomery (shoulder) and WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) are both active after being questionable.

Good news, indeed. Montgomery should be fired up as an RB2, with ARSB as a WR1.

The Lions are placing WR Kalif Raymond on Injured Reserve, source says, because of the foot injury he suffered last Sunday.

He's expected to return and could play again before the regular season finishes. Either way, he's almost certainly back for the playoffs.

We shouldn't expect too much of a boost for St. Brown/Williams here, but Tim Patrick should get some extra run as the team's WR3, which should get him 4-5 targets per game. That's not enough to put him on fantasy radars.

Sources: Lions WR Jameson Williams will not appeal his two-game suspension, and will therefore be OUT for Detroit’s Week 8 and Week 9 games vs the Titans and Packers.

Well, it's been fun while it's lasted, but Williams once again finds himself on the sideline for off-the-field issues. Patrick and/or Raymond profile as interesting desperation Flexes over the next two weeks.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is facing a suspension. Again.

Williams is reportedly set to be suspended for two games for violating the NFL's Performance-Enhancing Substances policy, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyward.

Williams was also suspended for six games at the start of the 2023 season for violating the league's gambling policy when he made bets on sports at the Lions' facility, but not on the NFL, but the suspension was eventually reduced when the NFL changed its policy. He missed the first four games of the season, the story went on to say. With Williams out, Raymond, Williams and Patrick all move up the depth chart, but the Lions could end up giving more targets to TE LaPorta and RB Gibbs.

The Broncos couldn’t trade receiver Tim Patrick, so they cut him. It didn’t take him long to find a new home.

Patrick is joining the Lions’ practice squad, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Patrick has missed the past two seasons with injuries, tearing an ACL in training camp in 2022 and tearing an Achilles’ tendon in camp in 2023. Through this preseason, Patrick was back in action and had five catches for 44 yards and a TD. If Patrick is truly back to form, one could see him eventually taking over as the team's WR3 behind St. Brown and Williams.

The Lions have a deal for one of the top young talents. They agreed on an extension for WR Amon-Ra St. Brown. He gets four years and more than $120M, with $77M guaranteed.

Good move for the Lions, who lock in their No. 1 pass-catching option. They will still likely address the position in the NFL Draft, but that shouldn't impact St. Brown.
