Danny Amendola

Drafting Amendola isn't going to win you a fantasy championship, but he's probably not going to lose you one, either. Landing in Detroit was ideal, as Matthew Stafford has loved his slot option throughout his career, including last year when they brought in Bruce Ellington off the street to fill Golden Tate's shoes. He tallied 30 targets in four games with the team, catching 23 of them for 132 yards. While it wasn't massive production, volume is key with PPR receivers like Amendola. If you're looking for someone to help fill bye weeks, don't be shocked if Amendola is a popular waiver wire add at that time.

Danny Amendola to sign with Lions, pending physical

Danny Amendola plans to sign with the Lions, according to Dianna Russini. He is currently in Detroit taking a physical, and will sign with the Lions if there are no complications.

Fantasy Impact

The Lions had an opening for their slot receiver after the Golden Tate trade last year, and Amendola will fit right in. He had an unproductive year overall with the Dolphins last season, with just 59 catches for 575 yards and one touchdown. But he's now played in 15 games in back-to-back seasons, and he should find success, if healthy, in Darrell Bevell's offense.
