David Montgomery, David Montgomery Finds the End Zone but Coughs Up Costly Fumble in Week 9 Loss

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery broke his two-game scoreless streak in Week 9, recording 51 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown on 13 touches against the Minnesota Vikings. However, the veteran also fumbled in a key spot, leading to points for Minnesota that were critical in Detroit's 27-24 loss to its division rival. Montgomery out-touched fellow Lions back Jahmyr Gibbs against the Vikings, but neither back was particularly efficient with their opportunities. Montgomery's workload has been fairly stable for much of 2025, as he's recorded between 12 and 15 touches in five out of eight games. The 28-year-old's minimal role in the passing game and limited rushing workload while sharing time with Gibbs make Montgomery very reliant on touchdowns for fantasy production. He profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2/high-end flex option heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Jahmyr Gibbs, Jahmyr Gibbs Records Career-Worst 28 Scrimmage Yards in Week 9 Loss

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs had one of his worst games as a pro in his team's 27-24 Week 9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Gibbs was held to 28 scrimmage yards on 12 touches and did not score a touchdown. The 23-year-old has mostly been a fantasy weapon so far this season, recording 748 yards from scrimmage and seven touchdowns on 142 touches across eight games played. However, there are a couple of worrying signs for Gibbs. He's currently averaging 4.9 yards per carry and 5.3 yards per touch, both of which would be career lows if they were to sustain for the remainder of the season. Additionally, the Lions lost starting left guard Christian Mahogany (knee) to a significant knee injury in Week 9, which could be a major issue for the team's run blocking. Still, Gibbs remains a must-start fantasy running back heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Amon-Ra St. Brown, Amon-Ra St. Brown Earns Double-Digit Targets for Third Straight Game

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to see heavy involvement in his team's passing game, recording nine catches for 97 yards on 13 targets in a Week 9 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. St. Brown has now earned double-digit targets in three consecutive contests. Across eight games played in 2025, the 26-year-old has hauled in 59 catches for 635 yards and seven touchdowns on 74 targets. Even in a Lions offense that has other talented pass-catchers, St. Brown has seen 30 more targets than Detroit's second-highest target earner, tight end Sam LaPorta. As long as he stays healthy, St. Brown remains a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into Detroit's Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Jameson Williams, Jameson Williams Finds the End Zone in Week 9, Remains a Boom/Bust Wide Receiver

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had one of his better games of the 2025 season in Week 9, recording four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on six targets in his team's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Williams has been a frustrating player for fantasy managers this season, as he has hauled in 21 catches for 355 yards and three scores on 36 targets across eight games. Still, the 24-year-old has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three games. The main issue for Williams remains his non-existent floor, as the other game in that three-game stretch was a zero-catch performance. Williams remains a boom/bust flex option for fantasy managers heading into a potentially favorable Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Jared Goff, Jared Goff Tosses Two Touchdowns Despite Pass Protection Struggles in Week 9 Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff did not have his cleanest game in Week 9, taking five sacks in his team's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Still, Goff managed to post solid production from a fantasy perspective, completing 25 of 37 pass attempts for 284 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 31-year-old has now thrown for 1,915 yards, 17 touchdowns, and three interceptions across eight starts in 2025. Unfortunately for Goff, the Lions' pass protection issues may continue going forward as they lost starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg) to a serious-looking leg injury in Week 9. Still, Goff has a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 when the Lions travel to Washington to face the Commanders.
