Isaac TeSlaa Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Aug 22nd 2025, 12:01pm EDT

TeSlaa was one of the most surprising picks of the entire NFL Draft, both in relation to his draft capital (round three) and the amount Detroit gave up to trade up for him (three third-round picks). The Lions needed to upgrade their WR3 spot. I just don't know if the highly athletic big slot (68.3% slot in college) in TeSlaa was the right answer. In his two seasons at Arkansas, he never had more than 532 receiving yards. He finished with a disappointing 5.0 yards after the catch per reception, 16.4% target per route run rate, and 1.45 yards per route run (per PFF). He has played quite well this preseason and could crack the starting line for Detroit early on, so he's worth a final round pick in deeper leagues as a cheap investment in one of the league's best offenses.
