Comment () | Share: Lions | Sam Martin coming off PUP Tue, 17 Oct 2017 06:59:56 -0700 Detroit Lions P Sam Martin (ankle) will be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list Tuesday, Oct. 17, and return to practice. Comment () | Share: Lions | Golden Tate expected to miss a few weeks Mon, 16 Oct 2017 10:14:22 -0700 Detroit Lions WR Golden Tate (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo an MRI soon, but the expectation is he will miss "some time," according to a source. Fantasy Tip: Tate and his fantasy owners catch a bit of a break with Detroit on bye in Week 7, but the source believes he will miss a few weeks, leaving the Lions without their top receiver. His expected absence could free up targets in the slot for Eric Ebron or help the team get Theo Riddick more involved in the passing game once again. Detroit could also be getting Kenny Golladay from a hamstring injury, although he is not going to replace Tate's snaps in the slot. Comment () | Share: Lions | Golden Tate suffers shoulder injury Sun, 15 Oct 2017 17:56:37 -0700 Detroit Lions WR Golden Tate (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury late in the third quarter of the Week 6 game against the New Orleans Saints. Fantasy Tip: Tate had a nice game, so hopefully this injury isn't something to keep him out long. The good news is that he has two weeks to rest with the bye Week 7. Comment () | Share: Lions | A'Shawn Robinson gets into end zone Sun, 15 Oct 2017 16:56:20 -0700 Detroit Lions DL A'Shawn Robinson posted a two-yard interception return for touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Week 6 game against the New Orleans Saints. He added seven total tackles with two passes defensed. Comment () | Share: Lions | Jamal Agnew has punt return for TD Sun, 15 Oct 2017 16:55:49 -0700 Detroit Lions CB Jamal Agnew ripped off a 74-yard touchdown on a punt return in the fourth quarter of the Week 6 game against the New Orleans Saints. He has recorded a pair of solo tackles. Comment () | Share: Lions | Eric Ebron takes backseat again Sun, 15 Oct 2017 16:55:21 -0700 Detroit Lions TE Eric Ebron managed just one catch for nine yards in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints on a total of three targets. Fantasy Tip: Ebron appears to be behind Darren Fells on the depth chart right now. That's rather unofficial, but Matthew Stafford has found Fells for three touchdowns over the past two games while not trusting Ebron. The Lions are off in Week 7. Comment () | Share: Lions | Darren Fells scores another touchdown Sun, 15 Oct 2017 16:54:54 -0700 Detroit Lions TE Darren Fells posted two grabs for 26 yards and a touchdown on four targets in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. Fantasy Tip: Fells has hauled in three touchdowns over the past two games after doing nothing in the first four outings. Despite the scoring ways, Fells is only worth a look as a bye-week replacement or low-priced DFS option going forward. The team is off in Week 7 for its bye. Comment () | Share: Lions | Golden Tate posts 96 yards, TD Sun, 15 Oct 2017 16:54:22 -0700 Detroit Lions WR Golden Tate racked up seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in the Week 6 game against the New Orleans Saints. Fantasy Tip: Tate had his largest yardage total since he opened the season with 107 yards on 10 grabs in Week 1 against the Cardinals. He has been a bit erratic so far this season, but he has WR3 potential when the matchup is favorable. Unfortunately the Lions have a bye in Week 7. Comment () | Share: Lions | Marvin Jones returns to end zone Sun, 15 Oct 2017 16:53:48 -0700 Detroit Lions WR Marvin Jones racked up six receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. Fantasy Tip: Jones was the only player in the game with double-digit targets, and he had five more than teammate T.J. Jones. The yardage total was easily his best of the season, besting the 54 yards he posted last week. That's 12 catches over the past two weekends, so perhaps he can be trusted again as a WR4 in most fantasy leagues. Of course, just as he was building momentum the team has a bye in Week 7. Comment () | Share: Lions | Theo Riddick totals 53 yards Sun, 15 Oct 2017 16:53:04 -0700 Detroit Lions RB Theo Riddick rushed twice for eight yards in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints while adding five receptions for 45 yards on seven targets. Fantasy Tip: Riddick is far more valuable in PPR fantasy leagues than standard formats. The Lions are off in Week 7. Comment () | Share: Lions | Ameer Abdullah rushes for 54 yards Sun, 15 Oct 2017 16:52:35 -0700 Detroit Lions RB Ameer Abdullah rushed 14 times for 54 yards in Week 6 against the New Orleans Saints. He was also targeted twice in the pass game but did not have any catches. Fantasy Tip: The Lions continue to search for that elusive 100-yard rushing game, but it hasn't happened in four years since Reggie Bush accomplished the feat last in 2013. It won't happen again in Week 7, either, as the team is on its bye. Comment () | Share:  |
