Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was largely held in check by the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6. St. Brown still hauled in nine catches on 10 targets, but he recorded just 45 receiving yards and was held out of the end zone. The 25-year-old has logged 44 catches for 452 yards and six touchdowns on 51 targets through six games so far this season. He should have an easier matchup on paper in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who rank 24th in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) through six weeks. Despite the mediocre performance in Week 6, St. Brown remains a clear must-start fantasy wide receiver.

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that he would like to get running back David Montgomery a "bigger piece of the pie" in the rushing attack, according to Nolan Bianchi of the Detroit News. With a negative game script in the Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, Montgomery only saw four carries for 24 yards and caught two passes for 37 yards. It was by far the 28-year-old's smallest role through six weeks of the 2025 season. The Lions offense is at its best when they are dictating the pace of the game and able to mix in plenty of play-action passing. Monty also played a season-low 31% of the offensive snaps in Week 6 after seeing a season-high 53% of the snaps in Week 5. It sounds like Detroit will make it a point to get Montgomery more involved in Week 7 on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, making him a more attractive RB3/flex play against a Bucs defense that has been in the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to RBs this year.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs posted his least efficient game of the season in his team's 30-17 Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Gibbs recorded just 65 rushing yards on 17 carries and zero receiving yards on one catch. He also failed to find the end zone for just the second time in six games so far this season. On the bright side, Gibbs has now recorded at least 15 touches in five out of six games in 2025 after failing to do that in six out of 17 games in 2024. The 23-year-old remains a must-start fantasy running back heading into a Week 7 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff posted a solid but unspectacular line in his team's 30-17 Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, completing 23 of 29 pass attempts for 203 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 31-year-old is having a highly efficient season so far, leading the NFL in completion percentage (75.9%) and touchdown passes (14) while averaging exactly eight yards per pass attempt. Goff could be a candidate to rejoin the ranks of must-start fantasy quarterbacks in single-QB formats in Week 7. The Lions will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who rank 24th in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) through six weeks.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta hauled in a touchdown catch for the second straight week in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, finishing with five catches for 55 yards and a score on six targets. The 24-year-old has 26 catches for 324 yards and two touchdowns on 33 targets for the season. He's shown signs of increased usage over the past two weeks, earning 12 targets and recording 10 catches for 143 yards and two scores. LaPorta and Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams appear to be battling to be the second option in Detroit's passing game behind star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown. Either way, fantasy managers have to be encouraged by LaPorta's production over his past two games, and he profiles as a must-start tight end heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
