Detroit Lions 2023 Fantasy Football Projections

Our Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2023 fantasy football projections for the Detroit Lions.

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Jared Goff	544.1	361.8	4026.3	24.48	7.62	28.4	78.1	0.5	254.54
Hendon Hooker	41	26	289.1	1.68	1.03	4.6	16.1	0.09	18.37

Jared Goff: The Lions finished top five in the NFL in both scoring and total offense in 2022, and Goff was much better in his second season with the Lions than he was in his first. Throwing for 4,438 yards, 29 touchdowns and only seven interceptions, Goff finished as fantasy's QB10. Playing behind one of the league's better offensive lines and with a talented group of pass catchers, Goff will push for a second consecutive top-12 campaign even though he offers zero rushing upside.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Jahmyr Gibbs	165.7	720.8	4.56	56	453.1	2.7	188.95
David Montgomery	188.9	793.4	5.67	25.4	194.2	1.2	152.68
Craig Reynolds	34.1	146.6	0.89	4.3	34.5	0.2	26.8

Jason Cabinda	1.1	4.5	0.03	2.9	21.6	0.1	4.84

Jahmyr Gibbs: It's a new-look backfield for the Lions — D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams are out, and Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery are in. Detroit's backfield ranked third in touches last season, and they were top 10 in RB targets. Gibbs lacks ideal size to be a workhorse back, but he will quickly develop into one of the league's best receiving backs and he has game-breaking speed (4.36 40-yard dash). It's possible, maybe likely, that Montgomery leads the backfied in touches while Gibbs leads it in fantasy points scored.

David Montgomery: The Lions had two backs finish as top-24 performers in 2022 — Williams (RB8) and Swift (RB22) — and no team's running backs scored more fantasy points than Detroit's. In other words, it's possible that the duo of Gibbs and Montgomery both perform as RB2-type backs (or better). Montgomery has averaged only 3.94 YPC through four seasons, but he will have the opportunity to run behind a much better offensive line in Detroit than he had in Chicago. In addition, he is a capable receiver as well with a minimum of 25 receptions each year and a total of 155 through four seasons.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Amon-Ra St. Brown	93.1	1057.3	6.2	7.3	69.4	0.55	199.72
Jameson Williams	43.8	619.3	3.6	2.3	16.1	0.14	107.88
Marvin Jones	49.3	595.5	3.6	0	0	0	105.8
Josh Reynolds	20.9	263.2	1.6	0	0	0	46.37
Kalif Raymond	16.1	215.8	1.2	4.6	25.3	0.23	40.74
Denzel Mims	5.4	75.5	0.5	0	0	0	13.25
Antoine Green	2.5	36.7	0.2	0	0	0	6.12

Amon-Ra St. Brown: Extremely productive through his first two seasons, St. Brown set career highs in 2022 with 106 receptions, 1,161 yards and six touchdowns. Given Jameson Williams' six-game suspension to start the season, St. Brown should continue to see massive target shares.

Jameson Williams: Williams made his NFL debut in Week 13, and he played only 78 offensive snaps in the team's final six games. While he had an 11.1% catch rate (one catch on nine targets), he had one 41-yard touchdown reception and one 40-yard run on his two NFL touches in 2022. He's a big play waiting to happen, but a gambling suspension will keep him off the field through the first six games.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Sam LaPorta	38.8	442.3	2.9	81.03
Brock Wright	14.5	161.8	1.1	30.03
James Mitchell	5.8	62.6	0.4	11.56
Shane Zylstra	5.4	56.1	0.4	10.71

Sam LaPorta: Other than the typical learning curve for tight ends transitioning to the NFL, there is a lot to like about LaPorta. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if we're talking about him as one of the top 6-8 fantasy tight ends this time next year, but the question remains how quickly he'll move into the top-12 mix as a rookie.

Detroit Lions Fantasy Football Projections 2022

Our 2022 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2022 fantasy football projections for the Detroit Lions.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Jared Goff	562.5	372.1	3937.5	22.22	10.13	24.7	61.8	0.49	235.24
Nate Sudfeld	42.3	27.1	300.3	1.71	1.06	8.2	20.5	0.16	19.74

Jared Goff: Goff isn't much more than a back-end QB2 in two-QB or Super Flex formats, but he has a better offensive supporting cast around him this year when everyone is healthy. Not only did the Lions sign D.J. Chark to a one-year deal in free agency, but they traded up to draft this year's biggest home run threat (Jameson Williams) as well.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
D'Andre Swift	182.7	794.7	6.85	63.5	483.1	2.6	216.23
Jamaal Williams	145.2	609.8	3.99	25.5	184.3	1	122.1
Craig Reynolds	39.2	164.6	0.88	3.6	25.4	0.1	26.68
Jason Cabinda	3.1	12.7	0.06	3.8	27.5	0.2	7.48

D'Andre Swift: Swift has played exactly 13 games in each of his first two seasons, but he offers plenty of upside if he can stay healthy given his versatile skill set. Despite missing four games in 2021, Swift had 62 catches for 452 yards and two touchdowns in addition to a 151/617/5 rushing line. Swift was 12th in half-PPR fantasy points per game in 2021.

Jamaal Williams: Like Swift, Williams missed four games in 2021 but set a career high in rushing yards (601) and tied a career high in rush attempts (153). While his targets per game (2.15) was near a career low, he set a career high in catch rate (92.9%) and finished with 2.0 receptions per game, his career average.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Amon-Ra St. Brown	85.6	877.2	4.9	6.2	43.4	0.31	166.12
D.J. Chark	49.1	669.6	3.8	0	0	0	114.31
Jameson Williams	42.7	597.5	3.2	2.1	16.8	0.08	102.46
Josh Reynolds	25.9	307.2	1.7	0	0	0	53.87
Kalif Raymond	16	180.1	1	1	4.5	0.03	32.64
Quintez Cephus	7	84.8	0.5	0	0	0	14.98

Amon-Ra St. Brown: St. Brown was highly productive as a fourth-round rookie, as the former USC Trojan finished 2021 with 90 catches (T-15th) for 912 yards (30th) and five touchdowns on 119 targets (26th). With the Lions dealing with injuries to other pass catchers down the stretch, St. Brown converted 67 targets into 51 receptions for 560 yards and scored all five of his touchdowns over the final six games of the season. Only Cooper Kupp scored more fantasy points than St. Brown over that span.

D.J. Chark: Signing a one-year deal to play for the Lions, Chark missed nearly all of the 2021 season, but the former Jag has a 1,000-yard season (73/1,008/8 in 2019) under his belt. He's developed good chemistry with Jared Goff leading into the season.

Jameson Williams: If it weren't for a torn ACL at the end of the season, Williams could have possibly been the first receiver off the board in the 2022 NFL Draft. With his elite speed and quickness, Williams is a threat to take it to the house any time he touches the ball. Williams begins the season on the reserve/NFI list, which means he'll miss a minimum of four games, but his rehab is going well and "could accelerate" his return from what was initially expected.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
T.J. Hockenson	66.9	705.6	4.3	129.81
Brock Wright	5.8	57.2	0.4	11.02
James Mitchell	2.6	25.4	0.1	4.44
Shane Zylstra	1.2	12.7	0.1	2.47

T.J. Hockenson: Hockenson missed five games last season, but he set per-game career highs in receptions (5.1) and yards (48.6) as well as catch rate (72.6%). Given the additions to the receiving corps (D.J. Chark and Jameson Williams), Jared Goff won't need to rely as heavily on Hockenson this year.

With his elite speed and quickness, Williams is a threat to take it to the house any time he touches the ball. We may have to wait a bit, as NFL Network's Tom Pelissero projects November as "the likely timeline for his return."

D.J. Chark: Chark missed nearly all of 2021, and signed a one-year deal with the Lions for the upcoming season. The former Jag has a 1,000-yard season (73/1,008/8 in 2019) under his belt, but he could end up fifth in line for targets when the team is at full strength.

Fantasy Football Projections 2021: Tennessee Titans

Our 2021 Fantasy Football Projections will be viewable by both position and team.

Below you will find our 2021 fantasy football projections for the Tennessee Titans.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for more NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Ryan Tannehill	500.6	325.4	3904.7	29.79	9.26	44.8	217.3	2.24	292
Logan Woodside	26.3	16.2	181.5	1.04	0.53	7.9	11.9	0.02	11.67

Ryan Tannehill: Since taking over as the starter in 2019, Tannehill has averaged only 28.9 pass attempts per game in Tennessee's run-heavy attack, but he's been extremely efficient. Tannehill has averaged more than 22 fantasy points per game and has averaged 8.54 Y/A with a 7.3 TD% over his past 26 games. From Week 7 to 17 (his run as the starter) in 2019, Tannehill was fantasy's QB3. In 2020, he was the QB7. With Tennessee trading for Julio Jones, Tannehill has a chance to once again outperform his preseason ADP.

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Derrick Henry	334.7	1606.6	14.56	24.8	185.9	1.8	289.81
Darrynton Evans	72.5	308.1	2.36	18.8	147.1	1.5	78.08

Khari Blasingame	1.3	5.1	0.03	2.6	18.4	0.2	5.03

Derrick Henry: If there's a concern with Henry, it's his relative lack of involvement in the passing game. That said, Henry more than compensates for his smaller role as a receiver with his dominant rushing production. Not only is he the back-to-back rushing champion coming off a 2,000-yard campaign, but Henry has led the league in rushing touchdowns in each of the past two seasons with 33 rushing scores in 31 games.

No running back scored more fantasy points in non-PPR formats, but Henry also finished second in half-PPR and third in (full) PPR as well. In other words, the limited passing-game role hasn't hurt his value much, even in leagues that reward a full point per reception. Regardless of format, Henry is a top-three option for me in 2021.

Darrynton Evans: Unfortunately, Evans (knee) will begin 2021 on IR. Once he returns, however, he offers the offense a change-of-pace option to Henry

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
A.J. Brown	82.8	1160.5	9	0	0	0	211.45
Julio Jones	79.4	1093.1	7.6	0	0	0	194.61
Josh Reynolds	32.5	400.4	2.9	0	0	0	73.69

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine	4.3	53.1	0.4	0	0	0	9.86
Racey McMath	1.5	20.4	0.2	0	0	0	3.99

A.J. Brown: Brown missed a couple of games in 2020, but he followed up a strong rookie campaign (52/1,052/8) with career highs across the board -- 70 catches, 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns on 106 targets. Despite playing in a run-first offense, Brown has averaged 17.4 Y/R and scored a touchdown on 15.6% of his receptions through his first two NFL seasons.

There is the potential for even better numbers in 2021 for the ascending third-year receiver, but many of the vacated targets left by Corey Davis, Jonnu Smith and Adam Humphries will be soaked up by Julio Jones and (to a lesser degree) Josh Reynolds.

Julio Jones: Jones missed nearly half of the season, but he finished with at least 94 yards in five of his nine games played in 2020. Averaging 85.7 YPG last year, Jones was still on a full-season pace of 1,371 yards. Before last season, he had a minimum of 1,394 yards in six consecutive seasons. As Jones transitions to Tennessee's run-first, Derrick Henry-centric offense, his per-game numbers are certain to drop. That said, he's still a solid WR2.

Josh Reynolds: Before the Titans traded for Jones, Reynolds had some sleeper appeal, but it will difficult for this offense to support three fantasy-relevant receivers. If either Jones or Brown misses time, however, Reynolds could become a highly-coveted waiver-wire target.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Anthony Firkser	44.4	498.5	3.6	93.65
Geoff Swaim	18.8	188	1.4	36.6
Tommy Hudson	3.6	38.8	0.3	7.48

Anthony Firkser: Moving to the top spot on the depth chart with Jonnu Smith now in Foxboro, Firkser enters 2021 with some sleeper appeal. Firkser had 39/387/1 in 2020 as a situational player and he should be heavily involved in the red zone. The challenge for Firkser is the run-first nature of the offense and the upgrades to the receiving corps with Julio Jones and Josh Reynolds in the WR2/WR3 spots.

Khari Blasingame	1.3	5.1	0.03	2.6	18.6	0.2	5.05

Darrynton Evans: If Henry were to miss time, it's possible that Evans would maintain a change-of-pace role with another back, such as Brian Hill, handling a majority of the early-down work. Being second on the depth chart of such a run-heavy team, however, makes Evans worth a late-round dart throw whether you're handcuffing Henry or not.

Jeremy McNichols	31.9	137.2	0.8	10.2	80.6	0.6	35.28

Khari Blasingame	1.3	5.1	0.03	2.5	20.2	0.2	5.16

Derrick Henry: The clear favorite among the top six running backs in my rankings to finish last in receptions, Henry more than compensates for his smaller role as a receiver with his dominant rushing production. Not only is he the back-to-back rushing champion coming off a 2,000-yard campaign, but Henry has led the league in rushing touchdowns in each of the past two seasons with 33 rushing scores in 31 games.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
A.J. Brown	81.3	1108.6	9.2	0	0	0	206.71
Julio Jones	78.7	1038.1	7.7	0	0	0	189.36
Josh Reynolds	33.9	393.1	3.1	0	0	0	74.86
Dez Fitzpatrick	11.9	131	1.2	0	0	0	26.25
Cameron Batson	7.6	70.5	0.6	2.7	11.2	0.05	15.87
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine	3.4	40.3	0.3	0	0	0	7.53

A.J. Brown: Brown missed a couple of games, but he followed up a strong rookie campaign (52/1,052/8) with career highs across the board -- 70 catches, 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns on 106 targets. Despite playing in a run-first offense, Brown has averaged 17.4 Y/R and scored a touchdown on 15.6% of his receptions through his first two NFL seasons.

Julio Jones: Jones missed nearly half of the season, but he finished with at least 94 yards in five of his nine games played in 2020. Averaging 85.7 YPG last year, Jones was still on a full-season pace of 1,371 yards. Before last season, he had a minimum of 1,394 yards in six consecutive seasons. As Jones transitions to Tennessee's run-first, Derrick Henry-centric offense, his per-game numbers is certain to drop. That said, he's still a high-end WR2.

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Anthony Firkser	40.6	453.5	3.3	85.45
Geoff Swaim	18.6	181.4	1.4	35.84
Jared Pinkney	5.1	40.3	0.4	8.98

Anthony Firkser: Moving up to TE1 on the depth chart now that Jonnu Smith is in New England, Firkser has some sleeper appeal. That said, he's no better than the fourth option behind running back Derrick Henry and receivers A.J. Brown and Julio Jones. Firkser had 39/387/1 in 2020 as a situational player, so it's certainly possible that our projections are too conservative.

Fantasy Football Week 11 WR Waiver Wire Rankings

Every week, we examine players that may be available on your league's waiver wire that could help your team in the short and/or long term.

For a player to be listed, he must be owned in 50 percent (or less) of Yahoo! leagues. The goal is to provide recommendations of players that have a greater chance of being available on your league's waiver wire. Of course, your league's size and settings could significantly impact whether these players (or better options) are available in your particular league(s).

With that said, here are some wide receiver waiver-wire options to consider heading into Week 11 (Yahoo! % rostered in parenthesis):

[Note: Players listed below are sorted by our preference to add.]

1. Jakobi Meyers, New England Patriots (48%)

While he won't throw touchdown passes every week, Meyers has proved to be a viable receiver in a passing offense that generally scares nobody. Over the past four weeks, Meyers has a minimum of six targets, four catches and 58 yards in all four games. During that four-game stretch, he has a total of 27 receptions for 346 yards on 37 targets.

Meyers and the Patriots receivers get plus matchups in each of the next two weeks with Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals coming up on their schedule.

2. Michael Pittman Jr., Indianapolis Colts (9%)

Since returning from injury, Pittman, the 34th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, has been more and more involved in the offense. One week after posting four catches for 56 yards on seven targets against Baltimore, Pittman had seven catches for 101 yards on eight targets and added a 21-yard run against Tennessee.

The matchup against the Packers is better for the team's running backs in Week 11, but beyond that matchup, the receivers have a favorable stretch of games against the Titans, Texans, Raiders, Texans and Steelers.

3. Jalen Reagor, Philadelphia Eagles (26%)

With Carson Wentz at the helm, it's difficult to have too much confidence in the team's now healthier collection of pass-catchers. That said, Philadelphia's first-round pick had a team-high seven targets that he turned into four catches for 47 yards in Week 10. Reagor now has at least six targets in back-to-back games.

The team gets a pair of favorable matchups over the next two weeks against the Cleveland Browns and Seattle Seahawks, respectively. Based on games through Sunday, the Browns have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game and the Seahawks the most to the position this season.

4. Josh Reynolds, Los Angeles Rams (5%)

Targeted a team-high 10 times in Week 10, Reynolds had eight receptions for 94 yards, which were also team highs. Over the past three games, Reynolds has been targeted 27 times. Only Cooper Kupp (34) has more targets over that span. With a minimum of 44 yards in five consecutive games, Reynolds has scored double-digit fantasy points in three of his past four games.

While Reynolds isn't yet a weekly WR3, he could return WR3 value in games where the Rams need to keep up with high-powered offenses like Tampa Bay (Week 11), Arizona (Week 13), Seattle (Week 16) and Arizona (Week 17).

5. Cam Sims, Washington Football Team (0%)

One week after finishing with three catches for 110 yards, Sims set season highs in targets (five) and receptions (four) as he finished with 54 yards. Washington has a pair of favorable upcoming matchups against the Cincinnati Bengals (Week 11) and Dallas Cowboys (Week 12).

Los Angeles Rams Fantasy Football Projections 2020

In addition to viewing our 2020 Fantasy Football Projections by position, we will post our preseason projections per team.

Below you will find our 2020 fantasy football projections for the Los Angeles Rams.

MORE: Fantasy football projections for all 32 NFL teams

QUARTERBACKS

Player	Att.	Comp.	Yards	TD	INT	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Jared Goff	577.6	367.6	4332	25.99	13.86	34.8	60.9	1.57	265.03
Goff posted the worst non-rookie ratios of his career in 2019 in Y/A (7.4), TD% (3.5) and INT% (2.6), but he closed the season on a positive note. Over his final five games, Goff threw multiple touchdowns every week, averaged 328.6 passing yards per game and compiled an 11-to-four TD-INT ratio.
John Wolford	21	12.6	148.1	0.68	0.61	5.1	11.2	0.05	8.84

RUNNING BACKS

Player	Att.	Yards	TD	Rec.	Yards	TD	Points
Cam Akers	169.8	730.1	5.52	31.1	251.9	0.93	136.9
With Todd Gurley gone (and now in Atlanta), Akers appears to be the Rams back to own even though Sean McVay has talked up the hot-hand committee approach that the 49ers used last season. Despite running behind a terrible offensive line at Florida State, the former five-star recruit became just the third back in school history to reach the 1,000-yard mark in back-to-back seasons and 3.9 yards of his 4.9 YPC came after contact, per PFF.
Darrell Henderson	101.3	415.3	2.53	25.3	212.5	0.76	82.52
As a rookie, Henderson had 43 touches -- 39 carries and four receptions -- in 13 games and 25 (58.1%) of those touches came in back-to-back games in October. Even though Todd Gurley is now in Atlanta, the Rams used a second-round pick on a (more) talented back (Cam Akers), which implies the coaching staff may not give Henderson the significant boost in workload that some may have hoped and/or expected when Gurley was released.
Malcolm Brown	61.4	242.5	2.46	8.4	68	0.29	47.55
Last year, most assumed that Henderson (43 touches) would out-touch Brown (71), but that wasn't the case. Is the fantasy community underestimating Brown's role in the backfield once again?
John Kelly	9.2	31.3	0.14	1	8.5	0.02	4.94

WIDE RECEIVERS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Robert Woods	80.1	1053.3	4.81	18.4	132.5	0.55	150.74
Woods scored only three touchdowns -- two receiving and one rushing -- in 2019, but he posted very similar numbers in other categories -- 9.3 targets per game (8.1 in 2018), 6.0 receptions (5.4) and 75.6 yards (76.2) last season. After the team's bye (Week 9), Woods had a minimum of nine targets every week and averaged 11.3 per game to yield 7.4/94.7/0.3 receiving per game. Woods is one of my favorite WR targets in fantasy drafts this year.
Cooper Kupp	78	994.5	6.83	2	8.8	0.02	141.43
Kupp posted career-best numbers in targets (134), receptions (94), yards (1,161), yards per game (72.6) and touchdowns (10) in 2019. With the spike in targets to tight end Tyler Higbee over the final month of the season, Kupp saw his per-game targets drop to 6.0 over the final five games compared to 9.45 per game from Weeks 1-12. Trading Brandin Cooks to Houston should help both Kupp and Woods, however.
Josh Reynolds	32.1	436.6	3.37	6.1	27.5	0.12	67.35
The Rams used a second-round pick on Van Jefferson, a polished route-runner and the son of former NFL receiver and current Jets receivers coach Shawn Jefferson. That said, Reynolds appears to be the early favorite over Jefferson for snaps in three-wide sets with Brandin Cooks now in Houston.
Van Jefferson	27.3	305.8	1.64	0	0	0	40.42
Trishton Jackson	3.3	38	0.2	0	0	0	5
Greg Dortch	0.8	8.2	0.04	1	5.5	0.01	1.67

TIGHT ENDS

Player	Rec.	Yards	TD	Rush	Yards	TD	Points
Tyler Higbee	59.4	665.3	4.16	0	0	0	91.49
Dominant as it gets in December, Higbee had a 43/522/2 (12.14 Y/R) receiving line on 56 targets over the final five games of the season. Higbee's late-season breakout was aided by an injury to Gerald Everett, who played just four offensive snaps in that stretch, but he's easily a top-10 option heading into 2020.
Gerald Everett	34.2	379.6	2.74	0	0	0	54.4
With Everett essentially sidelined for December, Higbee broke out and enters 2020 as a top-10 option. Before December, however, Everett had three 10-target games and a 7/136 outburst in Week 5. Sean McVay has talked about doing a "better job of utilizing Everett's skill set. Trading Brandin Cooks to Houston allow McVay to employ more two-TE sets with Higbee and Everett on the field together.
Johnny Mundt	3.7	25.2	0.15	0	0	0	3.42
Brycen Hopkins	1.7	19	0.09	0	0	0	2.44
