Detroit Lions

Jared Goff is the consensus #24 QB, and as such isn't worth drafting in 1QB leagues. In 2QB and superflex leagues, he's a fine choice for your second quarterback. Goff is expected to earn 6% of his projected 251 fantasy points by rushing. It's not really how he makes his living. With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 2.0, he doesn't carry much interception risk.

With 3.4 projected touches per game (2.8 rushes and 0.7 catches), Craig Reynolds isn't someone you can really use in fantasy. He has some competition on Detroit's depth chart, where he trails both D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.

Amon-ra St. Brown is correctly valued at his ADP of 59 as the consensus #71 overall player. St. Brown is the top dog among wide receivers on the Lions, with DJ Chark Jr. and Jameson Williams behind him. As the consensus #32 WR, he will be startable as a WR3 or Flex most weeks. He's projected for 955 yards and 6.0 TDs on 87.6 receptions, which is 40.0% of the total for WRs on the Lions. Detroit has the 19th-best schedule for WRs.

As the consensus #137 overall player, Jamaal Williams is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 145. Projected to carry the ball 8.6 times and catch 1.5 passes per game, Williams will see the ball enough to be relevant in most leagues. He's second on Detroit's depth chart, behind D'Andre Swift. The Lions have the 5th-best running back schedule.

With 2.0 projected touches per game (1.4 rushes and 0.6 catches), Justin Jackson is not fantasy-relevant. He has some competition on the Lions' depth chart, where he trails both D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.

Brock Wright is projected to catch only 11.2 receptions for 108 yards and 1.1 touchdowns. As the consensus #67, you can do better than drafting Wright. Wright will be playing second fiddle to T.J. Hockenson in Detroit.

As the consensus #84, James Mitchell is best left on the waiver wire. Mitchell is projected for only 62 yards and 0.6 TDs on 6.9 receptions. Mitchell will be playing second fiddle to T.J. Hockenson in Detroit.

At a projected workload of 0.1 carries and 0.1 receptions per game, Godwin Igwebuike is irrelevant in fantasy. He has some competition on Detroit's depth chart in D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.

Kalif Raymond is the WR6 on the Lions. At #145 in our WR rankings, he won't be worth owning in most fantasy leagues. He is projected to catch 13.4 receptions for 162 yards and 1.1 TDs, which is 6.1% of the workload for WRs on the Lions. The Lions have the 19th-best schedule for WRs.

Dj Chark Jr. is worth drafting at his ADP of 150 as the consensus #141 overall player. Chark is the WR2 for the Lions, behind Amon-Ra St. Brown. At #57 in our WR rankings, he will ride the fantasy bench most weeks. Chark is projected for 673 yards and 4.7 TDs on 47.4 receptions, for 21.6% of the workload for WRs on the Lions. The Lions have the 19th-best wide receiver schedule.

Quintez Cephus is not a focus of the the Lions' offense as their WR5. As the consensus #110 WR, he's not really fantasy-relevant. He is projected to catch 14.6 receptions for 201 yards and 1.7 TDs, which is 6.7% of the total for WRs on the Lions. Detroit has the 19th-best wide receiver schedule.

The market has D'Andre Swift correctly valued at an ADP of 12, compared to an overall ECR of 15. Projected to carry the ball 13.5 times and catch 4.1 passes per game, Swift is one of the few running backs with a workload you can feel good about. He's the top dog among running backs in Detroit, with Jamaal Williams and Justin Jackson behind him. The Lions have the 5th-best schedule for running backs.

With a projection of 1.6 carries and 0.3 catches per game, Jermar Jefferson is not fantasy-relevant. He has some competition on Detroit's depth chart, where he trails both D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.

Reynolds is projected to catch 22.2 receptions for 301 yards and 1.9 TDs, which is 10.1% of the workload for Lions WRs. The Lions have the 19th-best wide receiver schedule.

T.j. Hockenson is projected to catch a respectable 67.6 receptions for 692 yards and 5.3 touchdowns. At rank 8 at the position, Hockenson will be a starter in most leagues.

The market has Tyrell Williams correctly valued at an ADP of 243, compared to an overall ECR of 206. Williams is the #2 wide receiver on the Lions, trailing Amon-Ra St. Brown. As the consensus #78 WR, he will ride the fantasy bench most weeks. Williams is projected for 806 yards and 4.4 TDs on 56.0 receptions, for 31.1% of the workload for Lions WRs. The Lions have the 19th-best wide receiver schedule.

Chad Hansen might see limited usage as the 8th-ranked WR on the Lions. Ranked #198 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he won't be worth owning in most fantasy leagues.
