Josh Reynolds questionable for Week 18

Detroit Lions

Jan 07 · 3:15 PM EST

Lions WR Josh Reynolds (thigh) is questionable for Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Impact:

Reynolds was added to the injury report Friday, which is not a good sign.

Jared Goff probable for Week 18

Jan 07 · 10:33 AM EST

Lions HC Dan Campbell told reporters Friday that QB Jared Goff (knee) is probable to play Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Impact:

Goff appears to be set to end his first season in Detroit starting and not injured. His fantasy value comes if the Packers are resting multiple defensive starters.

Jared Goff sits out Wednesday

Dec 29, 2021 · 4:20 PM EST

Lions QB Jared Goff (knee) did not practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Goff missed Week 16 due to COVID-19 protocols, so his knee injury is still causing problems ahead of Week 17.

D'Andre Swift to play Week 17

Lions HC Dan Campbell told reporters Wednesday that RB D'Andre Swift (shoulder) will play Weeks 17 and 18. "We'll shut him down after Green Bay,” Campbell said.

Related Players: Jamaal Williams, Craig Reynolds

Fantasy Impact:

The Lions backfield situation is officially too murky to feel good about any of their options.

Lions WR Josh Reynolds lands on COVID list

Justin Rogers on Twitter

Dec 27, 2021 · 3:26 PM EST

Josh Reynolds has tested positive for COVID.

Related players: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond, Khadarel Hodge

Fantasy Impact:

Reynolds was running as the team's WR, and of course had a previous connection with QB Jared Goff dating back to the Rams. Raymond could move up to the WR2 with Reynolds out. St. Brown looks to have established itself as the team's WR1.

Lions QB Jared Goff comes off COVID list

Ian Rapoport on Twitter

Dec 27, 2021 · 3:19 PM EST

Lions QB Jared Goff was cleared from the COVID-19 reserve list.

Related players: Tim Boyle

Fantasy Impact:

Goff will get the start in Week 17, and while it's hard to believe it's being said, the passing offense gets a bump up with Goff's return. Goff had played well over the past several weeks before going on the COVID list.
