Lions signs Devin Funchess to play...tight end?

Jun 14 · 4:42 PM EDT

The Detroit Lions have added TE Devin Funchess. The former wideout will compete for a bottom-of-the-roster spot.

Fantasy Impact:

Funchess heads to the state that housed his college career. He has a tough road to fantasy relevancy, but it is good to see him healthy.

Jameson Williams not expected for training camp

Kyle Meinke - M Live

Jun 09 · 12:05 PM EDT

Lions 1st round pick Jameson Williams is not expected to be ready for training camp following ACL surgery following the National Championship game January 10.

"If Williams doesn’t practice at all in training camp, he could be a candidate to go on the physically unable to perform list, or open the season on injured reserve with a designation for return," writes Kyle Meinke of MLive.com. "Either designation would force him to miss at least four games, pushing his Lions debut to at least the Week 5 game in New England. The club is off the following week, so if he doesn’t play in New England, his debut might not occur until Oct. 23 in Dallas."

Related Players: Kalif Raymond, Josh Reynolds

Fantasy Impact:

While not a surprise, it is a sobering report. Look for Josh Reynolds, a midseason acquisition last season, to get the most looks in Williams' stead in three-wide sets.

Lions re-sign Kalif Raymond

The Detroit Lions are keeping WR Kalif Raymond after signing him to a two-year deal.

Fantasy Impact:

The little WR corps that could is back together in Detroit and now also boasts D.J. Chark. The Lions should add another wideout in free agency or the draft, making Raymond a waiver wire watch.

D.J. Chark set to join Lions

Mar 15 · 9:38 AM EDT

The Detroit Lions are signing WR D.J. Chark to a one-year deal.

Fantasy Impact:

Chark will get the chance to prove he is healthy and worth a longer term deal and joins a Lions team that needed any/all receiver help with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds as its top two wideouts.

Josh Reynolds re-signs with Lions

Mar 08 · 12:04 PM EST

The Detroit Lions have re-signed WR Josh Reynolds to a two-year deal.

Fantasy Impact:

Reynolds was Detroit's best receiver for a stretch in 2021 and has a chance to be a top three passing target for Jared Goff in 2022. Reynolds is a late-round target well before the 2022 season.

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

Chris Burke via Twitter

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.
