Here we are Detroit Lions fans. It’s Friday and the Lions will be hitting the road to Green Bay on Saturday afternoon for their game on Sunday. It’s pretty clear at this time that the Lions won’t be making a trade this week. Trades are pretty rare on the weekend right before games.  That pretty

We’re entering the stretch run of the fantasy football regular season, and one lineup decision could determine whether your team reaches the playoffs.  With that in mind, here’s what to do about several flex options, streaming candidates and other players you could be on the fence about plugging into your starting lineup in Week 9.

The Green Bay Packers are preparing for their toughest game of the season. They will welcome the 6-1 Detroit Lions into Lambeau Field in what will be the biggest game in the NFL this week. The biggest story today is the health of quarterback Jordan Love. He suffered a groin injury last week against the

The Tennessee Titans feel like they can finally breathe after back-to-back road games against, as one employee described them to me, “Super Contenders”. But their Week 8 opponent hasn’t just demoralized teams when they play them this year; they’ve also sent them home hurting the following week. The Detroit Lions are the best team in

Sometimes you get broken up with and it hurts for a while. You start to try to convince yourself that you’re better off without them. After a while you meet someone new and your realize that you truly are. For the Detroit Lions, that’s the case with Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford. Jared Goff is

There’s been so many things that we’ve heard about Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff throughout the years. Stuff like he’s the worst against pressure, he makes one crazy bad decision per game and he can’t play in inclement weather.  It’s that last one that we really want to look at because right now the forecast

Cornerback Amik Robertson expected excitement upon joining the Detroit Lions as a free agent in the offseason. Now that the excitement follows the surging Lions wherever they go — next stop, Sunday’s showdown at NFC North rival Green Bay — he’s eager to help division-leading Detroit maintain momentum. “I’ve never been a part of nothing

For the second week in a row, Lions head coach Dan Campbell spent a considerable portion of his Wednesday press conference verbalizing full support of suspended wide receiver Jameson Williams. Campbell came to the defense of Williams as the latest off-field issue — and possible arrest — involving the former first-round pick came to light.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed wide receiver Jameson Williams’ status after reports emerged about a potential police investigation. Williams, who is already serving a suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy, is facing possible charges relating to carrying a gun without a concealed carry permit. The incident has come under scrutiny, as the

However, the story had a happier ending the following Saturday. As predetermined, the Packers journeyed back to the Silverdome six days later on January 8. After four lead changes throughout the game, Favre and the Packers took over on their own 29 yard line with 2:26 left in the game, trailing 24-21.  Looking to drive

It’s not a primetime game, but Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions on Sunday is as close of a national game as it gets. Fox decided it will be the America’s Game of the Week, and basically the entire country will be able to watch it. The huge NFC North matchup is going to have

It’s been a busy few weeks around the NFL with trades, and now that the trade deadline is almost here, New Orleans Saints pass rusher Chase Young is one of the top remaining veterans who could be available. The Saints have bottomed out after a promising start, going 2-6 with six straight losses. Meanwhile, their

On Tuesday night WXYZ Detroit dropped a story on the Detroit Police Department opening up an internal investigation into a traffic stop where Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had a registered weapon of his in the car, but he did not have a concealed weapons license for that firearm.  The officer put Williams in

After it was reported on Tuesday evening that Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams was detained but not formally arrested and charged for allegedly possessing a concealed weapon without a license earlier in October, the Detroit Police Department has issued a statement on the matter, saying they are investigating the matter further. Williams and his

It’s really easy to look at this and say “man, if it’s not one thing, it’s another.” As more stuff keeps piling on top of this kid, it’s more than fair to believe that this is going to have some baring on whether or not Williams will be granted an extension this offseason. Fans are

Detroit police are investigating a case involving Jameson Williams from earlier this month. WXYZ in Detroit published a report on Tuesday regarding the matter. According to the report, Williams was a passenger in a vehicle being driven by the Lions wide receiver’s brother on Oct. 8. The car was pulled over during a routine traffic

With a score of 52-14 on Sunday, the Detroit Lions destroyed the Tennessee Titans. The Lions’ defense forced four turnovers, making it easy for the offense to score a boatload of points. Even though the defense struggled to apply pressure yet again, the Lions still made defensive plays. This game had many winners, but there

It’s NFL trade deadline season, that means we’ve reached that part of the season where every little thing means something. It’s the opposite of draft season where everything means nothing and it’s all just a smoke screen. Because everything means something, some Lions fans and national media outlets are misreading a moment that Detroit Lions

The Lions have won two games without Aidan Hutchinson, the most recent a dismantling of the Titans. Detroit holds the NFC’s best record and the tiebreaker over Minnesota by virtue of a narrow Week 7 win, but the team may well need another piece to help cover for losing Hutchinson, who went down with a

The Detroit Lions are riding high after a blowout victory over the Tennessee Titans, and sitting atop the NFC North as the NFL trade deadline looms. However, after losing Aidan Hutchinson for the season after the star pass-rusher fractured his tibia two weeks ago against the Dallas Cowboys, the Lions have a major need at
