Fantasy football players who have Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs on their roster likely owe fellow Lions RB David Montgomery a thank you. After all, it was Montgomery who conceded a scoring opportunity of his own for the sake of Gibbs, which allowed the rookie RB to score the first of his two touchdowns
Week 11 kicks off with a bang as the Cincinnati Bengals face the Baltimore Ravens in a matchup between two AFC North rivals. Things wrap up on Monday night with an equally intriguing game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs, a rematch of Super Bowl LVII. Our NFL Wire editors have picked one
The Texas A&M Aggies are searching for a new head football coach, so it makes sense they would set the bar high and aim for a notable alumnus. However, Aggies fans hoping the school could lure Dan Campbell away from the Detroit Lions are presumably disappointed to learn that Campbell is not interested in the
We may only get Detroit Lions football through January—or if we’re lucky, February—but fans will have something to look forward to all offseason. According to Justin Rogers of the Detroit News, Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown will reportedly be featured in the second season of the popular Netflix series “Quarterbacks.”
The Detroit Lions headed back to practice on Wednesday to get ready for their divisional matchup with the Chicago Bears. Starting left guard Jonah Jackson missed that practice with an ankle and wrist injury. The bad news is that he once again missed practice on Thursday. Isaiah Buggs did as well with an illness. The
The Detroit Lions struggled defensively against the Los Angeles Chargers, allowing 421 yards of offense and 38 points—including five straight touchdown drives to end the game.

We got news earlier this week that defensive end James Houston may not be returning until the very end of the season—if at all—but things could be looking better for Detroit Lions safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson. In an Instagram Live stream this week, Gardner-Johnson was shown doing some pretty aggressive lifts, despite having torn his pectoral
The Detroit Lions have themselves a very good quarterback in Jared Goff. Right now he’s Pro Football Focus’s highest graded quarterback in the entire NFL. So much for that talk of him being a bridge quarterback right? The Lions have their man with Goff and he should be their man for a long while. The
Detroit Lions fans are understandably concerned about the team’s pass defense after a tough performance against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. It’s not just about Justin Herbert lighting the Lions defense up, though. Lamar Jackson did the same a month ago, and Geno Smith did it before that.

Have we seen the last of Halapoulivaati Vaitai playing in Detroit? It sure sounds like it. Vaitai was placed on injured reserve this week with a back injury.

It was a fantasy goldmine for the Detroit Lions in Los Angeles, and returning home to face the Chicago Bears could keep the good times rolling. The Bears have somehow accumulated three wins so far, but the gap between these divisional rivals is not up for debate. Expect Detroit to keep the foot on the…
