16°Availability
The Lions D/ST turned in a dismal performance, failing to record a sack or force a turnover in a 31-24 Week 13 loss to the Packers.
Fantasy Impact
The unit continues an underwhelming stretch, allowing 16 or more points in the last five games. Fantasy managers will be better served seeking an alternative option ahead of a Week 14 contest against a high-powered Dallas Cowboys passing attack.
The Lions D/ST forced one turnover (one interception) while also recording one sack in a 34-27 win over the Giants in Week 12.
Fantasy Impact
The unit struggled to make stops on a consistent basis, allowing 517 offensive yards in the win. Fantasy managers will be better served utilizing an alternative option ahead of a Week 13 Thanksgiving Day clash against the Green Bay Packers.
The Lions' D/ST logged one sack and allowed 16 points in Sunday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fantasy Impact
Detroit's defense wasn't able to make many big plays on Sunday night, but they were generally strong and only allowed Philadelphia's potent offense to score 16 points on the night. Still, that wasn't enough to lead Detroit to a win as they now fall to 6-4 on the season. They should have a nice bounce-back opportunity next week against the Giants, however.
The Lions D/ST recorded three sacks while failing to force a turnover in a 44-22 win over the Commanders in Week 10.
Fantasy Impact
The unit took advantage of an injury-plagued Washington offense, allowing just 306 offensive yards in the win. The unit faces a much tougher test in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Lions D/ST allowed 27 points on 258 total yards with five sacks and one interception on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Outside of getting pressure, it was a struggle for the Lions defense against J.J. McCarthy in his first game back. They'll be on the streaming radar again next week against Marcus Mariota and the Commanders.
