Lions Receivers Come Through Thanks to 37 Pass Attempts

Lions QB Jared Goff’s 37 pass attempts were the second most by the team this season, only surpassed by 39 in Week 1. Both games accounted for two of the Lions’ three losses. The volume was enough to support WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (9-97-0 on 13 targets) and TE Sam LaPorta (6-97-1 on 8 targets). It also creates a bounce-back game for WR Jameson Williams with a 4-66-1 stat line on 6 targets.

Unfortunately, the RBs suffered with the Lions continuing to throw the ball. Jahmyr Gibbs only went 9-25-0 on the ground and caught all three of his targets for 3 yards. David Montgomery went 11-40-1 and caught 2 of 4 targets for 10 yards.

LaPorta played 100% of snaps while St. Brown (95.3%) and Williams (90.6%). Williams remains a boom-or-bust option while LaPorta and St. Brown can be locked in as starters every week.

The Lions WRs have the second-easiest fantasy schedule. They get two positive match-ups for the fantasy playoffs in Weeks 15 and 16 against the Rams and Steelers.

Goff himself could also be a solid streaming QB down the stretch.

LaPorta has only one negative TE match-up left, Week 11 against the Eagles. He also gets a positive match-up in Week 16 against the Steelers.
