The Lions D/ST allowed 14 points on 411 total yards with an interception on Sunday against the Packers.
Fantasy Impact
Detroit held Green Bay to just six points until the Packers scored a touchdown with the two-point conversion with just under four minutes in the game. The big play was a pick-six recorded by Kerby Joseph at the end of the first half. They'll be a risky play next week against the Texans if Nico Collins is healthy.
The Lions D/ST forced four turnovers and recorded one sack while also scoring a special-teams touchdown in a 52-14 win over the Titans in Week 8.
Fantasy Impact
The unit was able make an impact all game long, converting 262 return yards into favorable field position throughout the day. The unit faces a stiffer test in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers if starting quarterback Jordan Love (groin) is able to suit up.
The Lions D/ST recorded four sacks and one turnover (one interception) while making key stops in a 31-29 Week 7 win over the Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
The unit was able to stand tall despite missing star pass-rusher Aidan Hutchinson (leg), coming up with crucial stops when needed Sunday. The defense will look to take advantage of an inconsistent Tennesse Titans offense at home in Week 8.
The Lions' D/ST logged four sacks, three interceptions, and two fumble recoveries while allowing just nine points in Sunday's 47-9 blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys.
Fantasy Impact
Detroit's defense was feasting on Sunday. They forced Dallas to turn the ball over on five separate occasions, which led to the team picking up an easy blowout win over them. However, Aidan Hutchinson suffered a serious injury during the game and looks likely to miss the rest of the season, which would be a really tough blow for this unit's season-long outlook.
The Lions' D/ST logged three sacks, one interception, and one fumble recovery while allowing 29 points in Monday's win over the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact
Detroit's defense had an up-and-down night on Monday. On the one hand, they allowed the Seahawks to score 29 points and allowed this game to be a shoot-out. But on the other hand, they were able to force multiple key turnovers to help shift the tide of the game and secure the win at the end. This unit has flaws but should still be in fantasy consideration when they have a good matchup in the future.
