He didn’t progress during the window to activate him as hoped, so the 2022 season is over for Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus. The Detroit Lions opened the return window for wide receiver Quintez Cephus on Dec. 7, as he worked his way back from a foot injury earlier in the season. There was no

Lions running back Jamaal Williams has been a major fantasy football find this year, but here’s why he can legitimately be dropped from rosters in Week 17. Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams had the look of a fantasy sleeper heading into the season, and to say it has paid off would be an understatement.

Fantasy football championship week is a time to speculate on the waiver wire a little, where it might bare fruit, and Lions running back Justin Jackson is well-worth a look on that front for Week 17.

The anticipation of Jameson Williams playing has not bore much fruit yet, but Lions head coach Dan Campbell is attempting to say there’s plan to get the rookie wide receiver more work. The anticipation for the NFL debut of Jameson Williams was met with the reality he’d be eased back into to action coming off

It’s really a must-win game for the Detroit Lions in Week 17, and here are early odds for the divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Detroit Lions need help along the way to earn a playoff spot, and in Week 16 they not only lost but lost in a non-competitive way to the Carolina

Demetrious Johnson, a starting safety for the Detroit Lions in the 1980s, has passed away at the age of 61. The day after Christmas has brough some sad news to the Detroit Lions family. Demetrious Johnson, who played four seasons for the team in the 1980s (1983-1986) has passed away at the age of 61.

The Christmas Eve loss to the Carolina Panthers was a significant hit to the Detroit Lions’ playoff chances, and those chances are now on the ropes in Week 17. After a nice run to actually give themselves solid odds to make the playoffs with a softer schedule coming, the Detroit Lions laid an egg, fell

It wasn’t used a prime excuse for an awful performance, but Detroit Lions players lamented the poor field conditions at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday. When you’re beaten 37-23 (and it frankly wasn’t that close) as the Detroit Lions were outdone, outmaneuvered and simply outclassed by the Carolina Panthers on Christmas Eve, there can’t

The Detroit Lions laid an egg on Christmas Eve, with a truly pitiful performance against the Carolina Panthers. Here’s our report card for the game.  In a league of parity, expecting the Detroit Lions to win nine of 10 down the stretch was a pipe dream. However, it isn’t so much they lost on Saturday,

In the first quarter against the Panthers on Saturday, Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown joined some elite company.

With their wins over the last two weeks, the Detroit Lions playoff odds have basically quadrupled. A win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 16 will bring a boost to those odds again, and

Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been a usable fantasy quarterback for much of the last several weeks, but is he a viable starter in Week 16, semifinal week? All things considered, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a solid showing in a very tough matchup against the New York Jets in Week 15 (252 yards,
