QUARTERBACKS
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jared Goff | 542.9 | 363.7 | 4071.8 | 27.15 | 10.86 | 32.1 | 51.4 | 0.64 | 258.73 |
| Hendon Hooker | 28.6 | 18.6 | 197.3 | 1 | 0.64 | 4.9 | 14.7 | 0.05 | 12.38 |
| QB Totals | 571.5 | 382.3 | 4269.1 | 28.15 | 11.5 | 37 | 66.1 | 0.69 | 271.11 |
Jared Goff: The main concern with Goff is losing offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, but new offensive coordinator John Morton was a senior offensive assistant when Johnson became OC in 2022. The Lions have an elite offensive line and talented pass catchers — Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta, Jahmyr Gibbs, etc. — for Goff to continue outperform his ADP. Goff has finished as fantasy's QB10, QB7, and QB6, respectively, over the past three seasons.
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jahmyr Gibbs | 222 | 1176.6 | 11.1 | 52.7 | 412.9 | 2.2 | 265.1 |
| David Montgomery | 185 | 795.5 | 9.07 | 32.4 | 263.6 | 0.5 | 179.53 |
| Craig Reynolds | 25.9 | 111.4 | 0.58 | 5.7 | 50 | 0.1 | 23.07 |
| Sione Vaki | 7.4 | 28.9 | 0.15 | 2.3 | 16.7 | 0 | 6.61 |
| RB Totals | 440.3 | 2112.4 | 20.9 | 93.1 | 743.2 | 2.8 | 474.31 |
Jahmyr Gibbs: Gibbs set or tied career highs across the board in rushing (250/1,412/16, 5.6 YPC) and receiving (52/517/4, 9.9 Y/R) in his second season. Gibbs was also top five among running backs with a minimum of 17 targets in yards per route run (1.67) and YAC per reception (11.5), per PFF. Gibbs was especially good when David Montgomery missed the final three regular-season games (RB1 overall), but he was also the RB3 (RB4 on a PPG basis) from Weeks 1 to 15 when Montgomery was also active.
David Montgomery: Running behind Detroit's elite offensive line, Montgomery has averaged half a yard more per carry as a Lion (4.4) than he did as a Bear (3.9). Even though Gibbs has 26 rushing touchdowns over the past two seasons, Montgomery has 25 with a minimum of 12 per season. While he has missed three games in both of his seasons in Detroit, Montgomery's fantasy points per game will likely outperform his ADP. He has finished top 13 in fantasy PPG in each of the past two seasons.
WIDE RECEIVERS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amon-Ra St. Brown | 107.4 | 1179.1 | 8.1 | 2.5 | 20.6 | 0.11 | 222.93 |
| Jameson Williams | 58.6 | 964.2 | 5.9 | 11.8 | 100.3 | 1.18 | 178.23 |
| Tim Patrick | 27.7 | 339.8 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 59.83 |
| Kalif Raymond | 13.4 | 169.1 | 0.7 | 1.7 | 11.1 | 0.05 | 29.22 |
| Tom Kennedy | 1.5 | 17.8 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3.13 |
| Antoine Green | 0.7 | 8.6 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1.21 |
| WR Totals | 209.3 | 2678.6 | 16.8 | 16 | 132 | 1.34 | 494.55 |
Amon-Ra St. Brown: St. Brown has been a model of consistency — year in and year out, week in and week out. ARSB has 90-plus catches in all four seasons, 1,161-plus yards in the past three seasons, and double-digit touchdowns in back-to-back seasons. He had five-plus catches in 14 of 17 games last season and his other games were four, three and two catches. Only Ja'Marr Chase (15) had more such games in 2024, and he's tied with Davante Adams for the most five-catch games (49) since 2021, per Stathead.
Jameson Williams: Between injury and suspension, Williams' career got off to a slow start, but he broke out in 2024 with 58 catches for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns. He also added 11 carries for 61 yards and another score. While Amon-Ra St. Brown commands a dominant target share, the speedster is a big play waiting to happen (career 16.8 yards per catch).
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sam LaPorta | 66.2 | 723.9 | 6.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 145.69 |
| Brock Wright | 12.6 | 112.7 | 1.8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 28.37 |
| Shane Zylstra | 1.2 | 10.7 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2.87 |
| TE Totals | 80 | 847.3 | 8.7 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 176.93 |
Sam LaPorta: LaPorta's numbers dropped across the board, but he was much better in the second half of the 2024 season than he was in the first half. In his first eight games, LaPorta was targeted six times only once, had just two games of 50-plus yards (and barely with 52 and 53 yards) and scored two touchdowns. In his final nine games (counting the playoffs), he had six-plus targets in all nine games, 50-plus yards six times and scored a total of six touchdowns.
