Who Are the Lions’ Top Fantasy Players?
Jahmyr Gibbs Fantasy Outlook
You’re starting Gibbs, and just about everyone in this game, without a second thought. The explosive back has cleared seven PPR fantasy points as a pass catcher in both games this season, a trend I anticipate continuing through this game.
The Bucs have a strong run defense – Gibbs gashed them for 84 yards on 13 carries last week. He’s a strong RB1 this week and more often than not as we move forward.
David Montgomery Fantasy Outlook
Your confidence in Montgomery, week to week, will rely some on how you think the game plays out. If Detroit is playing with a lead this week, their bruising back is going to finish as a top-15 option. If not, a finish outside of the top 25 is in play.
My ranking for him (RB22) falls in the middle. He bailed you out with a touchdown last week, something I worry has the potential to not happen this time around. The Cardinals have tackled opposing running backs behind the line of scrimmage a league-high nine times this season, and if they elect to attack the box when Montgomery is in the game like Tampa Bay did last week (11 carries for 35 yards), the floor worries me.
You’re playing him, but you need to at least be aware of the risk involved. He’s a DFS fade for me unless you’re trying to be different in what promises to be the most popular game of the main slate.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Fantasy Outlook
It was easy to panic after Week 1’s dud performance (three catches for 13 yards) as Jameson Williams dominated. The thought was never that JaMo would assume the WR1 role in this offense, but it was fair to question how his continued development would impact St. Brown’s status as one of the highest floor options in our game.
Relax, everything is going to be just fine. St. Brown soaked up 19 targets in the Week 2 loss against the Bucs, and while the volume isn’t going to be at that level on a consistent basis, he remains the most reliable option on what we think is a top-five offense in the league.
There’s no reason to worry here — St. Brown is positioned to pay off his preseason price tag and then some.
Jameson Williams Fantasy Outlook
Fantasy’s WR7 through two weeks projects favorably moving forward. That might not sound like a ground-breaking analysis, and it’s not. That said, any time we see an explosive receiver like this produce in consecutive weeks, the “sell high” narrative is inevitable.
Don’t fall into that temptation. I beg of you, don’t do it.
The splash plays are the highlight of Williams’ profile, and that’s no secret. The Goff bombs in weatherproof games are going to continue to be there, and when they hit, we’re looking at a game-breaker. When they don’t? I’m still not worried.
Williams has as many end-zone targets this season as last, and he’s been handed the ball in both games this season. He got tangled up in coverage early in Week 2 and Goff threw a pick, but instead of looking elsewhere on the coming drives, Detroit’s veteran QB showed confidence in his emerging burner.
I’d be more likely to buy high than try to move on from Williams — this is just the beginning.
Sam LaPorta Fantasy Outlook
Friends don’t let friends sell LaPorta right now. That’s not to say that you can’t be interested in trading him after an underwhelming start; this is simply a game of timing, and this isn’t the time.
- 2023, per game: 5.1 catches for 52.3 yards and 0.6 TDs
- 2024, total: six catches for 58 yards and zero TDs
LaPorta is coming off a game in which he posted a 5.7% target share despite being on the field for 86.7% of the snaps. He’s not Cade Otton, but that’s a Cardio Cade stat line if I’ve ever seen one.
It’s plenty fair to be concerned as the receiver position in Detroit is certainly going to eat up targets in this offense that also has to field a pair of running backs, but moving on now is malpractice. Not only are you selling low, but you’re also selling at a time when the position as a whole is struggling. No tight end is bulletproof, it just so happens that LaPorta’s struggles have come early.
Now, more than ever, I’m comfortable blindly betting on offensive firepower and hoping that the tight end production follows. That’s why I’m holding my Dalton Kincaid stock. That’s why I’m holding a banged-up Jake Ferguson.
