Sam LaPorta

DET Tight End #87

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Sam LaPorta caught 3-of-6 targets for 19 yards in the Lions’ Week 12 win over the Colts.

It was a good news/bad news outing for LaPorta, who matched his season high for targets but was held under 20 yards for the first time since Week 2. It’s also bad news, of course, that his season high for looks is only six. Whether it is injury or target competition, it just isn’t happening for LaPorta this season, who will probably struggle to provide short-week TE1 returns against the Bears on Thanksgiving.
Jameson Williams

DET Wide Receiver #9

Jameson Williams caught 5-of-7 targets for 64 yards in the Lions’ Week 12 win over the Colts.

The seven targets were Williams’ most since Week 2. He has now eclipsed 50 yards in all three games since returning from suspension, and seen his targets creep from five to six to seven in the process. Encouraging, though he remains miles behind Amon-Ra St. Brown in the targets pecking order. Williams also has a tough, short-week Thanksgiving matchup with a Bears defense that entered Week 12 permitting the fewest receiver fantasy points before shutting down Justin Jefferson. Jordan Addison, of course, did go off. Williams is an upside WR3 for Week 13.
Amon-Ra St. Brown

DET Wide Receiver #14

Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 6-of-7 targets for 62 yards in the Lions’ Week 12 win over the Colts.

Following up his biggest box score of the season, ARSB had his first scoreless outing since Week 2. That’s a bonkers run for a wideout. The Colts continued to play improved pass defense, but it didn’t help St. Brown’s fantasy fortunes that Indy couldn’t keep up on offense. St. Brown now has only three days to rest up for what could be a Thanksgiving Day slobberknocker with the Bears.
Kalif Raymond

DET Wide Receiver #11

Kalif Raymond suffered a foot injury in the Lions’ Week 12 win over the Colts.

Raymond exited Sunday’s game against the Colts and did not return to the field. When discussing player injuries after the game, head coach Dan Campbell made light of several players’ injuries while saying Raymond’s was “a little more serious.” It sounds like Raymond is at risk of missing some time and is probably a long shot to play in Week 13 against the Bears on a short week. Raymond was held without a catch in Sunday’s win.
Jahmyr Gibbs

DET Running Back #26

Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 21 times for 90 yards and two touchdowns in the Lions’ Week 12 win over the Colts, adding three receptions for nine yards.

Gibbs’ third two-score day on the ground of the season was his first since Week 7. It was also the first time he reached 20 carries this year, though that had a lot to do with David Montgomery missing the final 20 minutes with a shoulder injury. Deemed questionable, Montgomery returned to the sideline still wearing his helmet, but the Lions understandably opted against risking further injury with the game comfortably in hand. Gibbs will be a Week 13 RB1 regardless of Montgomery’s Thanksgiving Day status against the Bears, but he will crash the top 3-4 if D-Mont is sidelined.
David Montgomery

DET Running Back #5

David Montgomery rushed eight times for 37 yards and a touchdown in the Lions’ Week 12 win over the Colts, adding three receptions for 36 yards.

Fantasy managers will take the touchdown, but the story was D-Mont departing around the 4:30 mark of the third quarter with a shoulder injury and not handling another touch the rest of the afternoon. Announced as questionable after heading to the locker room, D-Mont did return to the sideline wearing his helmet. But with the Lions up multiple scores, they opted to ride Jahmyr Gibbs in close-out mode. The fact that Montgomery resurfaced at all suggests a minor injury, but this is the Lions’ annual short-week Thanksgiving game. D-Mont should probably be considered genuinely questionable for the 12:30 PM ET kickoff. His status will be updated no later than Monday afternoon.
Jared Goff

DET Quarterback #16

Jared Goff completed 26-of-36 passes for 269 scoreless yards in the Lions’ 24-6, Week 12 win over the Colts.

Goff took three sacks and fumbled once, but the Lions recovered. As usual, Goff was not at his best on the road, but the Lions rode a grind-it-out rushing attack as they outlasted a Colts team that was feisty on defense but ineffective on offense. There’s really not much to say beyond that. Goff is now headed home for the Lions’ annual Turkey Day classic, but it is to face a Bears defense that continues to hold up despite the struggles on Caleb Williams’ side of the ball. That, coupled with the short-week turnaround make Goff more of a borderline QB1 option for Week 13.
Terrion Arnold

DET Cornerback #0

Lions declared CB Terrion Arnold, OL Giovanni Manu, DL Al-Quadin Muhammad, OL Kayode Awosika, OL Colby Sorsdal, and DL Brodric Martin inactive for Detroit’s Week 12 game against the Colts.

Arnold will miss his first game of the season with a groin injury. He got in a full practice on Friday and will probably trend towards playing on Thanksgiving. Emmanuel Moseley (pectoral) is playing off a questionable tag. Everyone else on the list is inactive as a healthy scratch.
Sam LaPorta

DET Tight End #87

Sam LaPorta (shoulder) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 12 against the Colts.

LaPorta is good to go, as expected. The second-year tight end has finished as a TE1 in three of his last five games and can be safely started as such with six teams on bye in Week 12.
Sam LaPorta

DET Tight End #87

Sam LaPorta (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday.

As expected, LaPorta practiced in full for the second consecutive day. The Lions’ brilliant handling of his shoulder injury last week helped ready LaPorta for a full workload against the Colts’ paltry tight end-coverage unit. He is a locked-in TE1 for Week 12.
