Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa recorded two catches for 20 yards and a touchdown on three targets in his team's 44-30 Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. While the 23-year-old has just eight receptions on the season, four of them have come in the end zone, including two in the last two weeks. TeSlaa has seen extended playing time thanks to the absence of Lions wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle), who has missed two straight games with an ankle injury. Raymond's return timeline is uncertain, but his return would almost certainly cut into TeSlaa's chances in the future. Still, Detroit may continue to utilize TeSlaa as a big-body threat in the red zone with tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) on Injured Reserve. Fantasy managers interested in TeSlaa should monitor Raymond's injury status heading into Detroit's Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa recorded two catches for 35 yards and his third touchdown grab of the season in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers. TeSlaa has struggled to earn a consistent role in the Lions' offense for most of the year, but his playing time spiked against Green Bay after injuries to Lions wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and Kalif Raymond (ankle). Raymond will remain sidelined for the team's Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, while St. Brown is officially listed as questionable. Particularly if St. Brown is out, TeSlaa should see another game with a heavy snap share against Dallas. Additionally, the Cowboys profile as a favorable matchup on paper. Through 13 weeks, Dallas currently ranks last in the NFL in both passing yards (3,234) and passing touchdowns (28) allowed. Pending St. Brown's final injury status, TeSlaa could be a deep-league flex option for fantasy managers in Week 14 against the Cowboys.
Dec 3, 2025 10:00 PM EST
For most of the 2025 season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has flashed upside but failed to carve out a consistent role in his team's offense. However, with Lions wideouts Kalif Raymond (ankle) and Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) both potentially sidelined for Week 14 and beyond, TeSlaa could have an opportunity for regular playing time. After St. Brown went down early in Detroit's Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, TeSlaa recorded two catches for 35 yards and a touchdown on two targets. He also played a career-high 92% of the Lions' offensive snaps and clearly functioned as the team's WR2 alongside Jameson Williams. With three of six catches on the season going for touchdowns, TeSlaa has proven to be a red zone threat early in his career. For as long as St. Brown and Raymond are out, TeSlaa holds flex appeal for fantasy managers.
Dec 3, 2025 11:20 AM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa caught both of his two targets for 35 yards and one touchdown in the Lions' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Packers. The third-round rookie could be lined up for even more work in the next few weeks since both Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and Kalif Raymond (ankle) are battling injuries, which could move him up to second on the depth chart behind only Jameson Williams. With tight end Sam LaPorta (back) already out as well, the Lions will need pass-catchers to step up in Week 14's Thursday Night Football matchup with the Cowboys, who have been a great matchup for receivers this season. Even though he only has six catches for 100 yards this season, TeSlaa has three touchdowns, and in an expanded role, he's a high-risk option that you can plug straight into a flex spot as a strong streaming option in Week 14 if Raymond and St. Brown are sidelined.
Dec 2, 2025 9:42 AM EST
Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa played a bigger role in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers after Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) left early in the first quarter and did not return. TeSlaa took advantage of his opportunity and finished with two catches (two targets) for 35 yards and a touchdown. He hauled in a 17-yard touchdown from Jared Goff in the third quarter, which is his third career touchdown on six total receptions. The rookie third-round pick out of Arkansas figures to see more opportunities and operate as the WR2 behind Jameson Williams in the short-term, with St. Brown expected to miss one to two weeks and tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on injured reserve. TeSlaa will likely be a hot waiver add for Week 14.
Nov 28, 2025 1:06 AM EST
Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (hand), who was listed as questionable for Thursday's game, is officially active for the Thanksgiving Day tilt against the division-rival Green Bay Packers at Ford Field. TeSlaa has barely played in his first season in the NFL, but he's had a nose for the end zone, with two touchdown receptions on his four catches on the year. The 23-year-old third-rounder out of Arkansas could be in line for a season-high in snaps on Turkey Day, too, with Kalif Raymond (ankle) out, as well as tight ends Sam LaPorta (back, Injured Reserve) and Brock Wright (neck). TeSlaa's playing time should receive a boost, but fantasy managers should still consider him a highly volatile, touchdown-dependent flex option in deeper leagues. He's been targeted nine times all year and has 65 yards on his four receptions.
Nov 27, 2025 12:12 PM EST
Across the first 11 games of his NFL career, Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (hand) has hauled in four catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets. He's also been limited in practice this week by a hand injury and is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. However, if TeSlaa is active in Week 13, he could see a sizable increase in playing time and target share. Wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out, and the Lions will also be without top pass-catching tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck). Still, Green Bay is a very difficult matchup for opposing pass games. Through 12 weeks, the Packers are allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Even with the projected boost in snap share, TeSlaa should remain off fantasy radars in Week 13.
Nov 26, 2025 10:59 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (hand) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. TeSlaa was limited all week ahead of this Thanksgiving matchup. The rookie wideout hasn't seen much of the field this weekend, but that could change this week. Fellow wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for this game. That means, TeSlaa would take over as the No. 3 wideout if he's able to suit up. That would mean more snaps for TeSlaa, but he hasn't done enough on the field this season to trust as a streaming option.
Nov 26, 2025 9:12 PM EST
Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (hand) is dealing with a hand injury and has been limited in practice on Monday and Tuesday, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyard. TeSlaa only has four receptions in 11 games played in his first NFL season, but two of those grabs came in the end zone for Detroit. The 23-year-old third-rounder out of Arkansas has played through an oblique issue recently as well, but he should be good to go for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day tilt against the division-rival Green Bay Packers in Week 13. Fellow wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle) is in danger of being inactive after two missed practices already this week, so it's possible that TeSlaa could have an expanded role for the Lions. Still, TeSlaa would be an incredibly risky fantasy option. He hasn't caught a pass since Nov. 9 and hasn't seen more than two looks in a game in 2025.
Nov 25, 2025 6:36 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) is officially active for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. The rookie has merely occupied a depth role in his first pro season, catching four of his eight targets for 65 yards and two touchdowns through 10 games. Not only has TeSlaa been operating behind standout receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, but he's also been far less involved than Kalif Raymond. As long as those three pass catchers remain healthy, TeSlaa can be avoided in fantasy football. He should be stashed in dynasty leagues and left on waivers in redraft formats.
Nov 23, 2025 12:13 PM EST
With Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve due to a back injury, there's an opportunity for rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) to step up as a more consistent target-earner in Detroit. However, TeSlaa recorded zero catches on one target in the Lions' first game without LaPorta, a Week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. TeSlaa has not earned more than one target in a game since Week 3 and has hauled in just four catches for the entire season. Additionally, he remains behind Kalif Raymond on his team's wide receiver depth chart and has played 18 fewer offensive snaps than Raymond in each of the last two weeks. TeSlaa is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 12 due to an oblique injury, but he played through the same injury in Week 11. The Lions have a favorable matchup on paper in Week 12 against the New York Giants, who have allowed the sixth-most passing yards (2,641) in the NFL through 11 weeks. Still, TeSlaa remains an unreliable option for fantasy managers until he proves to be a more consistent part of the Detroit passing game.
Nov 22, 2025 1:06 AM EST
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.
Nov 16, 2025 8:11 PM EST
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.
Nov 15, 2025 2:37 PM EST
Heading into Week 10, Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has now gone three games since recording his last reception. The 23-year-old has two touchdown catches on the season, but he's hauled in just three passes for 54 yards on six targets across eight games played. The Lions have a favorable matchup on paper against the Washington Commanders in Week 10. Through nine weeks, the Commanders rank last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19). Still, TeSlaa is buried on the target pecking order in Detroit behind wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, tight end Sam LaPorta, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs. TeSlaa maintains some long-term fantasy appeal, but he can't be trusted as a starting wide receiver in Week 10.
Nov 7, 2025 9:53 PM EST
Across the first seven games of his NFL career, Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa recorded three catches for 54 yards and two touchdowns. The 23-year-old has flashed contested-catch brilliance, but has been unable to be consistently productive on a week-to-week basis. TeSlaa may see a larger role in Detroit's offense post bye week. However, in his final game before the team's Week 8 bye, TeSlaa played just 13% of Detroit's offensive snaps, his lowest playing time share since Week 1. The Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 9 against the division rival Minnesota Vikings, who have allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards (1,428) in the NFL through eight weeks. TeSlaa should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 9.
Oct 31, 2025 11:59 PM EST
Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa played a season-high 46% of his team's offensive snaps in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, the 23-year-old failed to earn a target, marking the third time in his last four games that TeSlaa has not recorded a reception. TeSlaa has flashed a high upside at certain points this season, as two of his three catches have gone for touchdowns. Still, he's impossible for fantasy managers to trust as a starter, even heading into a favorable Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay currently ranks 23rd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520), and Lions quarterback Jared Goff attempted 55 passes in his last matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 2 of the 2024 season. TeSlaa could avoid being blanked for a second straight game should the Lions be forced into a pass-heavy game script in Week 7, but he should remain out of the starting lineups of fantasy managers.
Oct 18, 2025 11:18 PM EST
Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa hauled in his second touchdown catch of the season in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals and now has three catches for 54 yards and two scores through his first five NFL games. TeSlaa gets a difficult matchup in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and the fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. On the bright side, TeSlaa could be in line for his largest snap share of the season with Lions WR3 Kalif Raymond (neck) officially listed as questionable to play in Week 6 due to a neck injury. TeSlaa still cannot be counted on for fantasy production in Week 6, but he's a player to monitor as a stash candidate in deep leagues for his season-long upside.
Oct 10, 2025 6:17 PM EST
Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa had one target in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he made it count by turning it into a 12-yard touchdown reception. TeSlaa has made the most of his low-usage role so far this season, as he has three catches for 54 yards and two touchdowns on five targets through the first five games of his career. Perhaps most importantly for his fantasy outlook, Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (neck) left early in Week 5 with a neck injury and did not return. TeSlaa has been firmly behind Raymond in snap share so far this season, so an injury to Raymond could open the door for TeSlaa to take over as Detroit's WR3 alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. It's too soon to count on TeSlaa for fantasy production, even if Raymond does miss time. Still, TeSlaa is a player to monitor in deep leagues, as he's flashed upside and could now be in line for an increased role.
Oct 6, 2025 10:07 PM EST
Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa has been held without a catch in each of his last two games and has just two receptions for 42 yards and a touchdown on four targets through his first four games of 2025. TeSlaa has also seen his role in the Lions offense stagnate, as he played just 20% of Detroit's offensive snaps in Week 4 and remains firmly behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Kalif Raymond on the team's wide receiver depth chart. TeSlaa has shown flashes of high-end potential this season, but he's currently impossible to trust as a fantasy starter.
Oct 3, 2025 5:07 PM EST
Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa was held without a catch for the second straight game in Week 4 by the Cleveland Browns. TeSlaa burst onto the scene with a pair of highlight-reel grabs over his first two NFL games, but he remains limited to a minor role in the Detroit offense for the time being. The 23-year-old played just 20% of the Lions' offensive snaps in Week 4 and is firmly behind Detroit wideouts Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Kalif Raymond on the team's depth chart at the position. All told, TeSlaa has two catches for 42 yards and a touchdown on four targets so far this season. He maintains some appeal in dynasty leagues, but TeSlaa should be off the radar of fantasy managers in redraft formats.
