Detroit Lions

The Lions D/ST allowed 10 points on 230 yards from scrimmage on Sunday against the Bears.

Fantasy Impact

After an opening drive touchdown for Chicago, the Lions held them to just three points the rest of the afternoon. Justin Fields ran for 132 yards, but the majority of that came in the opening quarter. They were able to limit him the rest of the way to go along with an interception, fumble and seven sacks. The Lions are going to need their defense to step up one more time in Week 18 against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

The Detroit Lions D/ST allowed 250 passing yards, 320 rushing yards, and 37 points in a loss to the Panthers Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

The Lions’ defense failed to record a sack or a turnover in a dominating performance by the Panthers’ offense. The Panthers had two running backs post more than 100 rushing yards and averaged 7.4 yards per carry as a team. The Lions may have a tough time containing the Bears’ running attack in Week 17.

The Detroit Lions defense recorded a punt return touchdown, four sacks and an interception while allowing 17 points in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jets.

Fantasy Impact

The majority of Detroit's fantasy production came on a punt return touchdown as they continue to serve as a solid fantasy defense. They have a juicy matchup against the Panthers next week, an offense who was struggled to put up points as of late.

The Detroit Lions D/ST allowed 23 points, 425 passing yards, and 22 rushing yards in a win over the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

The Lions’ defense tallied four sacks, two fumble recoveries, and four passes defensed in the win. The Lions’ run defense was impressive, holding Dalvin Cook to 23 rushing yards on 15 attempts. The Lions’ defense will take on the Jets in Week 15, which have a major question mark at quarterback with the Mike White injury.

The Lions' D/ST allowed just 14 points against the Jaguars in Week 13, compiling two sacks and recovering a fumble in a 40-14 win.

Fantasy Impact

The Lions' defense was up to the task in a game that was slated for one of the highest point totals in Week 13. They were able to hold opposing QB Trevor Lawrence in check, limiting him to just 179 yards passing and a single score. This Detroit team is on a hot streak right now as they try to make a late season push towards a wild card spot. Their next test will come in Week 14 against the divisional rival Vikings.
