Week 10 opens with an AFC North rivalry, as the Cincinnati Bengals (4-5) travel to Maryland to take on the Baltimore Ravens (6-3) on “Thursday Night Football.” These teams have faced off 58 times in their histories with the Ravens holding a 31-26 regular season lead—including winning four of the last five meetings—while the Bengals…

The fantasy football regular season is quickly drawing to a close, and one lineup decision could make all the difference in 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
We’ve reached the point in the 2024 NFL season where there is less than more football left. Let that realization wash over you before you prepare yourself for this upcoming week of football. Here at Pride of Detroit, our staff have made their picks for not only Thursday night’s game, but the entire slate of…
When new Lions defensive Za’Darius Smith makes his debut in Detroit’s Week 10 game in Houston on Sunday night, the veteran will be wearing his familiar jersey number. Smith, acquired in a trade on Tuesday from the Cleveland Browns, is listed on the Lions’ official roster as No. 99. That number wasn’t immediately available when
Williams, 23, signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois following the 2024 draft. He was in the first year of a three-year, $2.845 million contract with a base salary of $795k for 2024. In 2024, Williams has appeared in two games for the Lions and recorded two receptions on three
In an unexpected move after Thursday’s practice session ahead of Week 10, the Detroit Lions announced they have waived rookie wide receiver Isaiah Williams. Williams made the team as an undrafted free agent from Illinois and had seen brief action in two games on offense and special teams, including a nice kick return in the
The Detroit Lions head to the final practice ahead of the team’s Week 10 trip to Houston in relatively good health. However, Thursday’s practice participation report did feature one new addition after a Wednesday session that saw two defensive contributors sit out with injury. Linebackers Malcolm Rodriguez and Jalen Reeves-Maybin are still sidelined, and neither

I’ve been talking about it since Tuesday, while I think the Lions did an excellent job trading for Za’Darius Smith and he was the best possible route that they could go, but this team still needs some more depth on the edge. One guy that’s been pretty successful in the NFL has just become available
Last season, one of the Achilles heels for the Lions was at the cornerback position. They clearly knew it; hence them drafting two corners to start the draft (Terrion Arnold, Ennis Rakestraw) and signing Carlton Davis in free agency. So far, that investment has paid off. Arnold and Davis, in particular, are currently two of
Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch was ejected from last Sunday’s game after delivering a helmet-to-helmet hit on Green Bay Packers receiver Bo Melton in the second quarter. The play initially just received a flag for unnecessary roughness, but after consulting with the officiating hub in New York, the league deemed Branch’s hit was blatant enough…
Two teams with expectations beyond regular-season statements square off Sunday night when the Detroit Lions visit the Houston Texans. The Lions (7-1) own the best record in the NFC and stand second overall in the NFL behind only the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs. Houston (6-3) shares the fourth-best mark in the AFC with the Ravens
Personally, I’ve never once believed some of the things that I know other writers or Detroit Lions fans believe when it comes to Lions GM Brad Holmes. I totally get why people believe that they have Holmes figured out because during his time here, he’s largely showed us one way of acquiring players and that’s
Detroit Lions receiver Jameson Williams returned to practice this week after serving a two-game suspension for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy. While serving his suspension, news broke that he was briefly taken into police custody in early October after being found during a traffic stop with a gun that was registered in his name…
The trade deadline loomed large immediately after the season-ending injury to Aidan Hutchinson back in Week 6. It was hard to imagine the way the Detroit Lions would pick up the pieces on defense and put together a pass rush without their biggest piece of the puzzle. After all, Hutchinson was arguably playing like the…
The wet Lambeau field probably aided the Lions to a healthy game by slowing everybody down and allowing feet to slip out of dangerous situations like with Jahmyr Gibbs. There were some minor concerns coming out of the game, but the only one that landed on the Wednesday report is Jalen Reeves-Maybin. Lots of other
The Detroit Lions have some of the best comradery and team chemistry of any roster in the National Football League. We got a great example of that on Wednesday evening, the whole Lions secondary was rocking a custom shirt with Brian Branch on it to honor him. The shirt was custom made by Branch and
