Isaac TeSlaa, Isaac TeSlaa Active for Sunday Night Football in Week 11

Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) is officially active for Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. He was listed as questionable after being a late addition to the injury report. The rookie has occupied a depth role in his first pro season, catching four of seven targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns through nine games. He remains off the redraft radar as long as Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams are both healthy.

Sam LaPorta, Sam LaPorta Placed on Injured Reserve

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on Injured Reserve ahead of the Week 11 Sunday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. LaPorta did not practice this week and was ruled out before their primetime game against the Eagles. Through nine games, LaPorta has hauled in 40 of 49 targets for 489 yards and three touchdowns, ranking as the TE8 in PPR formats. LaPorta's absence should upgrade the other weapons across the board, especially Jameson Williams and tight end Brock Wright, who is questionable to play this weekend with an ankle injury. The next chance that LaPorta has to return is in Week 15, when they head to Los Angeles to take on the Rams.

Isaac TeSlaa, Isaac TeSlaa Downgraded to Questionable for Week 11 Due to Oblique Injury

Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) has recorded just four catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets across the first nine games of his career. The rookie wideout was a late addition to the injury report on Saturday due to an oblique issue and is now listed as questionable to play in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. In Lions head coach Dan Campbell's first game as the team's play-caller in Week 10, TeSlaa broke a three-game catch-less streak and played 20 offensive snaps, his most in a game since Week 6. The Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 11 against the Philadelphia. Still, if active, TeSlaa could have more opportunities in the passing game due to the absence of Detroit tight end Sam LaPorta (back). TeSlaa is ultimately difficult to trust as a fantasy starter in Week 11, but he could be a name to monitor in deep leagues if LaPorta's injury keeps him out long term.

Kalif Raymond, Kalif Raymond Could See an Increase in Target Volume Again in Week 11

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond hauled in a season-high four catches for 49 yards on four targets in his team's Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. The 31-year-old has seen minimal usage in his team's passing game overall this season, recording 13 catches for 113 yards on 17 targets across nine games played. Raymond and the Lions will also face a significantly more difficult matchup in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, there are a couple of reasons to believe that Raymond's relative breakout may be more than just a one-week blip. For one, Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling in Week 10 from offensive coordinator John Morton, which could be a reason for Raymond's heavier usage. Additionally, the Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back) against Philadelphia, which should open up more opportunities for all of the team's secondary pass-catchers. Still, Raymond's limited ceiling makes him a desperation deep-league flex option at best in a difficult Week 11 matchup against the Eagles.

Jake Bates, Jake Bates Remains a Solid Starting Option Despite Difficult Week 11 Matchup

Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates recorded his first missed extra-point of the season in Week 10 against the Washington Commanders, but he knocked in all three of his field goal attempts. Even with the blunder against Washington, Bates leads the NFL in extra-point makes (33) and attempts (34) through 10 weeks. The Lions have a difficult road matchup in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia ranks in the top ten in the NFL in per-game opponent scoring (21.3 points per game). Still, the Lions have one of the league's highest-scoring offenses so far this season and could provide Bates with some opportunities to put points on the board. It's not his most favorable matchup, but Bates still profiles as a solid starting kicker option for fantasy managers in Week 11.
