Brandon Zylstra

Brandon Zylstra has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday's matchup versus the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

With fellow wide receiver Josh Reynolds listed as doubtful for Sunday's tilt with the Packers, Zylstra will help reinforce the Lions recieving core. Regarding the Lions wide receivers, it's very unclear who will see targets outside of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond. Zylstra will be looking for his first reception on the season.

Brandon Zylstra has been elevated from the Lions' practice squad ahead of Week 7 against the Cowboys.

Fantasy Impact

Zylstra will look to add some depth after DJ Chark was placed on IR. The 5th year WR had his best year in 2021 with 18 rec, 250 yards, and 1 TD with the Panthers. Still, it is unlikely that he will have a major role in the Lions' offense with Amon-Ra St. Brown returning.

The Carolina Panthers cut WR Brandon Zylstra Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Zylstra was used more on special teams that has a wide receiver with the Panthers. The 29-year-old was coming off his best receiving season though, tallying 18 catches, 250 yards, and one touchdown. Considering he is a solid special teamer, he may get another opportunity with a team.

Panthers WR Brandon Zylstra caught 2-of-4 targets for 17 yards in Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Bills.

Fantasy Impact

Zylstra is stuck behind D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson in the pecking order for targets. He has no fantasy value while they are healthy.

Panthers WR Brandon Zylstra caught 4-of-5 targets for 45 yards in Sunday's Week 14 loss to the Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

Zylstra was busy on Sunday, logging season highs in targets and receptions. Despite his slight uptick in usage, he is not worth using in fantasy. He would need to score to make any significant impact.
