Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions are expected to "ramp up" contract extension talks with quarterback Jared Goff this upcoming offseason, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Goff has looked excellent in his third season with Detroit, completing 67.3 percent of his passes for 4,575 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions. All the while, the 29-year-old has led the Lions to a historic playoff run, which continues Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rapoport notes that while Goff was a throw-in piece to the Matthew Stafford trade in 2021, the Lions have always viewed him as a potential franchise cornerstone and now have the opportunity to extend him as such.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (knee) is active for Sunday's playoff game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had been listed as questionable. While there never appeared to be major concern about the rookie's status, it should be noted that he did downgrade to a limited participant in practice on Thursday and Friday. Nevertheless, he's active for the Divisional Round and will presumably handle a full workload. LaPorta registered three catches, 14 yards, and one touchdown in last week's playoff game, and he remains an intriguing option for fantasy managers and bettors ahead of kickoff Sunday.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright caught just 13 passes for 91 yards and a touchdown during the regular season, but if Sam LaPorta (knee) cannot suit up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, he will enter the DFS radar. LaPorta suffered a minor knee injury in the Week 18 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but he ultimately played and scored a touchdown in the win over the Los Angeles Rams in the first round of the NFL Playoffs. He logged a full practice on Wednesday this week but was downgraded to limited practices on Thursday and Friday. There's a chance he suffered a setback, which could explain why he's listed as questionable for the Divisional Round. If Wright draws the start, he could have limited upside, but he's a fine dart throw against a Tampa Bay defense that allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position in the regular season.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (knee) has been ruled out for the Divisional Round of the playoffs on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Raymond also missed the wild-card win over the Los Angeles Rams last weekend after he injured his knee in the Week 18 regular season finale. The 29-year-old wouldn't have really been on the fantasy radar for DFS contests this weekend if he was active, and the Lions will likely miss him most on special teams. It remains to be seen if Raymond would be ready to play in the NFC Championship if Detroit advances past the Bucs. With Raymond out again, second-year wideout Jameson Williams will have a bigger role as Detroit's No. 3 behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds. Fantasy managers shouldn't have high hopes for Williams unless he can break one of his few touches for an explosive touchdown-scoring play.

Detroit Lions rookie tight end Sam LaPorta (knee) is officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. LaPorta suffered a hyperextended knee and a bone bruise in the Week 18 regular season finale but then played through a questionable tag in the wild-card win over the Los Angeles Rams. In that game, the 23-year-old played 80 percent of the offensive snaps and found the end zone on three catches. We'd be surprised if he wasn't active against the Buccaneers, a team that allowed the second-most half-PPR points to opposing TEs during the regular season. LaPorta was the top-scoring fantasy tight end in 2023, but he's going to carry some more risk in DFS this weekend because of his knee. DraftKings has him listed at $5,900, the second-most expensive TE behind Travis Kelce.
