Johnny Morton Takes Over Lions Offense

Johnny Morton Takes Over Lions Offense

The Lions named John Morton their new OC. He'll replace Ben Johnson, who took the Bears HC job after leading Detroit to three straight top-five finishes in both points and total yards. Morton was a senior offensive assistant for Johnson's first Lions squad in 2022 before spending the last two years as Broncos passing game coordinator. His only previous OC experience came at USC in 2009 and 2010 and with the Jets in 2017. That Jets team -- quarterbacked by Josh McCown and Bryce Petty -- ranked 28th in total yards and 24th in points. We won't hold that against Morton. He'll now be working with one of the most loaded offenses in the league, although it's fair to expect some dropoff in play-calling from Johnson to Morton.

Lions RB David Montgomery injured his right MCL in Sunday's loss to the Bills and will be out indefinitely. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it's a tear and that Montgomery might be out through the playoffs. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports it as a sprain but adds that Montgomery will have further testing. Whatever the specific diagnosis and return timeline, it seems a pretty safe bet that Montgomery will miss the rest of the regular season.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta posted a 7-111 receiving line on 10 targets in Sunday's loss to the Bills. Those numbers easily marked season highs in all three categories and clearly got a boost from Detroit throwing a season-high 59 passes.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta caught three of six targets for only six yards, but found the end zone twice. His first game being a major red zone target saw some life for the disappointing fantasy TE.

Lions TE Sam LaPorta didn't reach 6 targets in any of the Lions' first six games this season. He has now down so in three of his past four, surrounding an inactive Week 11. LaPorta's 6 targets in Sunday's win over the Colts trailed co-leaders Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams (7 apiece) but beat No. 4, WR Tim Patrick, by two.
