Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught nine of his 11 targets for 65 yards in the win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Divisional Round game. LaPorta entered Sunday's contest with a "questionable" tag due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 18, but he ultimately suited up and was clearly good to go. Barring any setbacks with his knee, the rookie from Iowa will remain on the fantasy radar against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. The 49ers allowed the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends during the regular season, but he's proven to be virtually matchup-proof.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught eight of his 14 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the 31-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Divisional Round. The third-year pro could have had a much bigger day if he and Jared Goff could connect on a few more of his targets, but either way, he came through with a touchdown with just under seven minutes in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory. Next week, he should be in for another high-volume day in a neutral matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.
Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery rushed ten times for 33 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards in the 31-23 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His final stats in the NFC Divisional Round were far from impressive, but he remains a key piece of the team's offense despite the emergence of rookie Jahmyr Gibbs. The 49ers allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs during the regular season, so Montgomery could be in for another hard-fought day in the NFC Championship Game. That said, he scored 14 touchdowns in the regular season and Wild Card Rounds combined, so he remains a DFS consideration.
Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed nine times for 74 yards and caught four passes for 40 yards in the NFC Divisional Round win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Gibbs delivered a 31-yard rushing touchdown early in the fourth quarter to help the Lions pull away in the 31-23 victory. The rookie remains a threat to score a touchdown or rip off a chunk play on every snap, so he remains a DFS next week despite a tough matchup with the talented San Francisco 49ers' defensive front.
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 30 of his 43 passing attempts for 287 yards two touchdowns and no interceptions in the NFC Divisional win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It was another great playoff performance for the former No. 1 overall pick, and he will lead the organization into the NFC Championship game against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been stingy against quarterbacks this year, but the Detroit offense is explosive in most matchups and the Lions' offensive line should match up well with the 49ers' strong defensive front.
