Lions TE Joseph Fauria (ankle) was added to the injury report Thursday after missing practice. Fauria’s injury opens the door for Eric Ebron to see heavy snaps against the Jets. Fauria has played 79 snaps to Ebron’s 69. Ebron could see his playing time double in Week 4 if Fauria is out.

Lions Beat: TE Eric Ebron 'coming along'

Lions TE Eric Ebron is coming along.

He had a rough first week of camp, dropping passes and looking lost at times. Since then, the first-round pick has been much better both with ball security and route running.

He has probably the most challenging camp of any player on the team as he’s a rookie and lining up in four different spots within the Lions offense. He is making progress.

Fantasy Impact: 

Ebron lined up just about anywhere and everywhere in the Lions first preseason game. It's a bit of a crowded position with Brandon Pettigrew and TD machine Joseph Fauria still on the team. But we still rank Ebron 20th on our list so we think he has potential. The Lions want him to be their Jimmy Graham but sometimes it takes a while for TEs to step into a big role like that.

Lions TE Eric Ebron shows off versatility

Lions TE Eric Ebron continued to line up all over the field in his preseason debut Saturday. He split wide right in a two-tight-end set, slot left of quarterback Dan Orlovsky on a big third down, and attached at the line of scrimmage for a running play that unsuccessfully went his way.

Ebron finished with one catch for 2 yards on four targets, and he said after the Lions’ 13-12 victory over the Cleveland Browns that was only a sampling of how he’ll be used this fall.

“It’s just the preseason, so many more (ways) to go,” Ebron said, joking that he might have some quarterback snaps in his future. “We’ll see. Our playbook is open wide. With the athletes we have, we’ll see where it goes from here.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Ebron was the third TE on Saturday night - Brandon Pettigrew started and Joseph Fauria, who caught three passes and showed off improvements as a blocker, came in on the second play. Ebron should have a big and significant role in the Lions offense this fall, the story said. That said, he still looks to be competing with others at the position and his snap percentage is a question. But the Lions were using him all over in his first game which is a good sign. Still, we see him as a low-end TE2 in our rankings.

Though the Lions spent the bulk of Monday’s practice on the running game, TE Eric Ebron looked crisp in his route-running in snippets of position drills and for the second straight practice caught everything thrown his way.

Fantasy Impact: 

Ebron has been struggling with drops, so it's good to hear that he had a good day catching the ball on Monday. The Lions want him to fill the Jimmy Graham role in new OC Joe Lombardi’s offense, so he should see playing time immediately despite the presence of Brandon Pettigrew and Joseph Fauria. Of the 21 tight ends who have been drafted in the first round in the last 10 years, 14 have managed to play at least 14 games. They averaged 35-371-2.6, or #31 TE numbers. (Oddly enough, that's where Brandon Pettigrew finished in 2013.) It usually takes a while for a young tight end to make a fantasy impact, though there has been the occasional exception. Jeremy Shockey (#3 TE in 2002), Heath Miller (#11 in 2005) and Dustin Keller (#14 in 2008) all posted TE1 or fringe-TE1 numbers as rookie first round picks. Cam Cleeland, Rob Gronkowski, Aaron Hernandez and John Carlson all had a TE1-type impact as rookies even though they weren't drafted in the first round. Ebron is an intriguing TE2-type in a potent offense, but he's no shoo-in to make a big fantasy impact in his first season, especially if he’s struggling to catch the ball.
