Brock Wright, Brock Wright Becoming a TE Streaming Option in Lead Role?

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (ankle) immediately slotted in as a full-time player in Week 11, with Sam LaPorta (back) placed on Injured Reserve. Wright played 83.1% of the snaps and ran 59% of the routes, finishing with two catches for eight yards on a career high seven targets against the Eagles. The Lions' offense struggled collectively, with Jared Goff completing just 37.8% of his passes. Wright was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, so that will be something to monitor in the coming days. But it is positive to see Wright get the role and usage in LaPorta's absence, and he is set to be a consistent piece of one of the league's best offenses for the next handful of games. Assuming he plays in Week 12 against the Giants, Wright could be a streaming option for fantasy managers in need of a bye week replacement.

David Montgomery, Lions Looking to Get the Ball to David Montgomery More?

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said he'd "always" like to get running back David Montgomery more carries, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. Montgomery does have double-digit rushing attempts in seven of 10 games this year, including in three of the last four games. But he was more of an afterthought in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, carrying the ball only six times for 27 yards and catching his only target for 10 yards. The game script in Week 11 was not in the 28-year-old's favor, that's for sure. Detroit should have a better game script this weekend on the road against the one-win Tennessee Titans, so fantasy managers will be banking on him getting more involved on the ground again. Backfield mate Jahmyr Gibbs is much more dynamic than Montgomery in both the run and pass game, which has made Monty more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in fantasy in 2025.

Brock Wright, Brock Wright Sets Career-High in Targets; Lined Up for More Work?

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright was targeted seven times on Sunday night against the Eagles, but he only hauled in two catches for eight yards. It was a new career-high for the veteran in his fifth season out of Notre Dame. Wright was in a bigger role with SamLaPorta (back) on IR, and he should remain the team's top tight end for at least the next three games. The Lions will look to get back on track against the Giants this week in a favorable matchup for Wright. His targets could indicate that he'll be more involved in the next few weeks, making him a deep-league sleeper, but he'll need to convert more of them to catches before becoming a reliable starter in standard formats. If you are desperate for depth or a bye-week replacement, he has upside, but he hasn't delivered on it yet, so he is a high-risk waiver wire pickup.

Jahmyr Gibbs, Jahmyr Gibbs Leads Lions in Receiving in Week 11 Loss

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs struggled to find running room in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, handling 12 carries for 39 yards, but was dynamic as a receiver with a team-high five catches (eight targets) for 107 yards. Gibbs has now topped 140 yards or more from scrimmage in three of the past four games and was one of the few bright spots in a tough offensive showing from the Lions. The 23-year-old posted his highest receiving total of the season and his most receptions in a game since Week 3. That could be a featured part of Detroit's offense moving forward, with Sam LaPorta (back) placed on injured reserve earlier this week. Gibbs will again rank as one of the elite RBs in fantasy in Week 12 against the New York Giants.

Jameson Williams, Jameson Williams Continues Surge, Extends Touchdown Streak to Three Games

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams recorded four receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Sunday night's 16-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Williams scored the Lions' only touchdown of the night on an explosive 40-yard catch and run in the second quarter in what was otherwise a tough offensive performance against the Eagles' stout defense. The 24-year-old wideout continued his strong run of production in recent games, now totaling 14 catches on 20 targets for 273 yards and three touchdowns over the past three weeks after their Week 8 bye, averaging 20.1 PPR points per game. With Sam LaPorta (back) placed on injured reserve earlier this week, Williams will have a runway for a strong second half of the season after a disappointing first seven games.
