Fantasy Index Weekly: Championship Game Preview: Detroit Lions

Overview: There's not a lot of relevant history between these teams. You have to go back 40 years to find a playoff game (in 1983, San Francisco beat a Billy Sims-led Lions team 24-23, on a late Joe Montana to Freddie Solomon touchdown). Just one regular-season meeting the last five years (In 2021, Jimmy Garoppolo outdueled Jared Goff 41-33 in a season-opener at Ford Field).  more »

Factoid: Rebound quarterbacks

When the NFC playoffs commence next week, the matchup of Jordan Love and Brock Purdy -- who've just completed their first full seasons as starters -- will probably get the most attention. But the second-chance matchup of Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff interests me most.   more »

Lions QB Sudfeld has torn ACL, will miss 2023 season

Detroit Lions quarterback NATE SUDFELD reportedly tore the ACL in his left knee in the team’s preseason finale against the Carolina Panthers and is expected to miss the 2023 season. HeadMore coach Dan Campbell said on Monday that Sudfeld was undergoing further testing to confirm the extent of the injury. The Lions signed veteran quarterback TEDDY BRIDGEWATER earlier this month to be JARED GOFF’s backup after Sudfeld filled that role last season. With Sudfeld out, the Lions could keep undrafted rookie ADRIAN MARTINEZ as their No. 3 quarterback. Detroit also has rookie quarterback HENDON HOOKER, who is expected to open the year on the non-football injury list (NFI) as he continues to recover from the torn ACL he suffered last fall in college.

Detroit hosts free agent QB Bridgewater

The Detroit Lions hosted veteran quarterback TEDDY BRIDGEWATER on a visit on Monday. While no signing is imminent, Bridgewater is considered the top backup quarterback still on the market. The LionsMore return JARED GOFF as their unquestioned starter and the team also re-signed NATE SUDFELD to a one-year deal in free agency. The Lions spent a third-round pick on quarterback HENDON HOOKER in April’s NFL Draft, but he is expected to spend much of the season recovering from an ACL injury. Bridgewater makes sense as a backup option for a Lions team expected to contend for the NFC title this year. Less

Around the NFL: Jared Goff

Jared Goff has long been a lightly regarded quarterback. The Rams gave up some quality draft picks primarily to dump his contract on the Lions a couple of years ago. He won't attract much interest in fantasy drafts, either. But perhaps he should.   more »

Lions rookie QB Hooker headed for “redshirt” year

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said earlier this week that rookie quarterback HENDON HOOKER will take “a redshirt year” this fall. The Lions drafted Hooker in the third-round of lastMore month’s NFL Draft despite him coming off a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee suffered in a mid-November college game. The Lions plan to move forward at this point with JARED GOFF, 28, who still has two years left on his current contract and could be in line for an extension. Less

Lions offense stalls again

The Detroit Lions had the NFL’s top ranked offense just a few short weeks ago.

Detroit Lions quarterback JARED GOFF overcame a horrible start last season to finish strong after head coach Dan Campbell and Ben Johnson took over the offense. Heading into 2022, Campbell hasMore named Johnson the full-time offensive coordinator and Johnson has spent the offseason watching film with Goff and redesigning the offense. During the second half of last season, Goff threw 11 touchdowns and just two interceptions. During the last four games of the season, Goff had the third highest QB rating in the league. Take note, fantasy owners. Less

Factoid: Jared Goff

It's fair to say Jared Goff isn't a highly respected NFL quarterback. Perhaps subconsciously, I type "Goof" initially every time I try to use his name in a story. There was a draft rumor going around that the Lions would select Malik Willis at No. 2 overall. The 27-year-0ld, former No. 1 overall draft pick is lightly regarded. But while Goff may not be an elite passer, he has done some good things in his career, especially in fantasy leagues.   more »
