10 potential available wide receivers for Lions

USA Today

The Lions have Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams as their top two wide receivers. After that, it’s anyone’s guess. Undrafted rookie Isaiah Williams has made a strong case this preseason and has been moved around the field as the Lions look for answers.

Other than that, no receiver has really taken hold of a position, namely Donovan Peoples-Jones and Daurice Fountain. The injury to Antoine Green threw a wrench in the Lions’ plans, which may have to pivot to looking for another option on the open market.

With roster cuts looming, as well as other current free agents, the Lions will have an opportunity to address the position before the regular season starts. Here’s a quick rundown of a few of those potential options.
