Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery is under contract through the 2027 season, but his future with the team could be up in the air this offseason. "Those are discussions that we're gonna have to have in-depth. We love David Montgomery. He's a good football player. ...He deserves to be in a situation where his skill set can be utilized," general manager Brad Holmes said when asked if Montgomery will remain with the team. If the Lions cut the 28-year-old in the offseason, they'll save $11.26 million but will also take on $8.6 million in dead money. Monty took a clear back seat to Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit's backfield in 2025. He was still a weekly RB3/flex consideration in fantasy football, though, and finished with a career-low 158 carries for 716 yards and eight rushing touchdowns in 17 games, adding 24 catches for 192 yards. Monty's 2026 fantasy value could look drastically different if he's playing in another city.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) said earlier this week that he's entering the next stage of his rehab from back surgery, and he plans to be fully cleared before the start of training camp at the end of July, according to Richard Silva of The Detroit News. LaPorta played in only nine games in 2025 before suffering a herniated disc in his back against the Washington Commanders on Nov. 9. In addition to his rehab, the 24-year-old will be focused on trying to ink a contract extension with the Lions this offseason. LaPorta burst onto the scene in his rookie year in 2023 with 86 receptions, 889 yards, and 10 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. He wasn't quite as good in 2024, but he still had a 60-726-7 line in 16 games. Obviously, LaPorta's production suffered in 2025 due to injury, but he'll be a prime bounce-back candidate at the TE position in 2026 for the Lions.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs laid an egg the last two weeks for fantasy managers, but he was able to finish out the season strong in Sunday's 19-16 win over the Chicago Bears in the Week 18 regular-season finale. Gibbs led the Lions with 19 carries for 80 yards and also caught three of his five targets for 33 yards and his fifth touchdown reception of the year. Overall, the 23-year-old was once again one of the most productive RBs in the NFL in his third year in the league. Gibbs finished with 1,223 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground, adding a career-best 77 catches for 616 yards and another five scores as a receiver. He was the Lions' clear leading ball-carrier this year over David Montgomery, and Gibbs should profile yet again as a top-five fantasy RB going into 2026 drafts.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown ended his 2025 season the right way, recording 11 receptions for 139 yards on 15 targets in Detroit's 19-16 Week 18 win over the Chicago Bears. St. Brown entered Sunday questionable to play due to lingering knee and ankle injuries, but he was ultimately able to suit up. Across 17 games played in 2025, the 26-year-old recorded 117 receptions for 1,401 yards and 11 touchdowns on 172 targets. St. Brown has recorded at least 106 catches in four consecutive seasons and double-digit touchdowns in three straight campaigns. He's been named to four straight Pro Bowls and could have a chance at his third consecutive All-Pro selection for his work in 2025. As long as St. Brown makes it through the offseason healthy, he will likely be one of the first wide receivers off the board in fantasy drafts heading into the 2026 season.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee, ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Chicago Bears. He's been dealing with nagging injuries for over a month now, but he has demonstrated extreme toughness by playing through his ailments. He has officially been active for all 17 games in back-to-back seasons. The Lions have been eliminated from the playoffs, but they'll look to play spoiler since the Bears haven't officially locked up the No. 2 seed in the NFC yet. In his last game against Chicago, St. Brown caught nine passes for 115 yards and three touchdowns. He'll look to feast again in the 2025 finale, ranking as a high-end WR1 for fantasy football.
