Detroit Lions

Donovan Peoples-Jones is the WR4 on the Lions. Ranked #127 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's only relevant in deep leagues. He's projected to catch 8.2 receptions for 105 yards and 0.6 TDs, which is 4.2% of the total for Lions WRs. The Lions have the 13th-best schedule for wide receivers.

Raymond is the WR3 for the Lions, trailing Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Ranked #121 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's only relevant in deep leagues. He's projected to catch 32.4 receptions for 359 yards and 1.8 TDs, which is 16.3% of the total for Lions WRs. Detroit has the 13th-best schedule for wide receivers.

David Montgomery is a good value at his ADP of 72 as the consensus #54 overall player. With a projection of 14.4 touches per game (13.0 carries and 1.4 receptions), Montgomery has an uninspiring but still valuable workload. He's trailing Jahmyr Gibbs on the running back chart for Detroit. The Lions have the 19th-best schedule for RBs.

Jahmyr Gibbs is a fair value at his ADP of 13 as the consensus #14 overall player. With a projection of 11.4 carries and 3.6 catches per game, Gibbs will often be a fantasy starter, even if he's not an exciting one. He leads David Montgomery and Craig Reynolds on the Lions' depth chart. Detroit has the 19th-best running back schedule.

As our consensus #14 QB, Jared Goff is a reasonable choice for a late-round quarterback strategy. Goff is projected to earn 13.2 of his 267 fantasy points by rushing. He's a more traditional passing QB. With a projected toughdown-to-interception ratio of 2.6, Goff isn't not likely to melt down often.

With a projection of 2.1 carries and 0.3 catches per game, Craig Reynolds isn't someone you need to draft. He has some competition on Detroit's depth chart, where he trails both Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

The market has Amon-Ra St. Brown correctly valued at an ADP of 8, compared to an overall ECR of 7. St. Brown is the #1 receiver on the Lions, with Jameson Williams and Kalif Raymond behind him. Ranked #5 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's a locked-and-loaded stud. He's projected to catch 110.8 receptions for 1,337 yards and 8.7 TDs, which is 55.8% of the total for WRs on the Lions. The Lions have the 13th-best wide receiver schedule.

Jameson Williams is the second-best WR on the Lions, trailing Amon-Ra St. Brown. As the consensus #45 WR, he will be startable as a WR3 or Flex most weeks. He is projected to catch 47.0 receptions for 688 yards and 4.6 TDs, which is 23.7% of the workload for WRs on the Lions. Detroit has the 13th-best wide receiver schedule. Williams is worth drafting at his ADP of 117 as the consensus #108 overall player.

With a projection of 852 yards and 7.8 TDs on 84.0 receptions, Sam LaPorta is one of only 8 TEs expected to record 800 yards. As the consensus #1 TE, LaPorta is tier 1. LaPorta is worth drafting at his ADP of 22 as the consensus #27 overall player. The Lions have the 6th-best tight end schedule.

As our #67 TE, Brock Wright is not fantasy-relevant. Wright is projected to catch only 21.0 receptions for 203 yards and 2.1 touchdowns. Wright will be playing behind Sam LaPorta at TE in Detroit.

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.

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.

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 might see limited usage as the 4th-ranked WR on the Lions. Ranked #104 in our consensus wide receiver rankings, he's not really fantasy-relevant. 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 Hockenson correctly valued at an ADP of 74, compared to an overall ECR of 80. Detroit has the 9th-worst tight end schedule.
