Jameson Williams Low On DFS Radar On Sunday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams came back from an ankle injury to face the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Wild Card Round last week, but he caught just two passes for 19 yards. The speedster has seen three or fewer targets in ten of his 13 games this year, meaning he's clearly not a trustworthy fantasy or DFS option. However, he is just $3,600 for DraftKings full-slate contests, so DFS gamers paying up for expensive players elsewhere can consider him a boom-or-bust dart throw against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that surrendered the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers during the regular season. Just don't be surprised if he's in for another quiet day.

Sam LaPorta Should See More Action In Divisional Round Contest

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (knee) practiced in full to begin the week leading up to the NFC Divisional Round contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Barring any setbacks, he should not be at risk of missing Sunday's game, and he should be more involved in the offense. The rookie saw just three targets in the win over the Los Angeles Rams, but he caught all three for 14 yards and a touchdown. The Buccaneers allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends during the regular season, so with a favorable matchup and improved health, the volume is likely to go up. He remains a solid DFS option for cash games and GPP tournaments.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Remains Elite DFS Option Against Buccaneers

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown racked up at least 95 receiving yards in 10 of his 16 regular season games, and he did it again in the wild-card win over the Los Angeles Rams by catching seven passes for 110 yards. Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Divisional Round, St. Brown should be in for another field day. The Bucs allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers during the regular season and gave up 12 catches, 124 yards, and one score to St. Brown in Week 6. The third-year USC product is arguably the most consistent player in all of fantasy football and DFS, so his stretch of production should continue on Sunday.

Jahmyr Gibbs Faces Tough Matchup In NFC Divisional Round

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed eight times for 25 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 48 yards in the NFC Wild Card win over the Los Angeles Rams. It was a solid performance for the rookie speedster, but his fantasy ceiling has proven to be much higher. Unfortunately, he's set to draw another tough matchup on Sunday against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that surrendered the third-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs during the regular season. That said, Gibbs always has upside due to his explosiveness and pass-catching ability, meaning he should remain in consideration for GPP and cash game DFS contests. Ultimately, the 21-year-old has a boom-or-bust outlook in the second round of the NFL playoffs.

David Montgomery In A Letdown Spot On Sunday

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery rushed for over 1,000 yards and scored 13 touchdowns in the regular season, and he found the end zone in the Wild Card win over the Los Angeles Rams. However, a worrisome matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense awaits in the NFC Divisional Round. In Week 6, Tampa Bay limited the Lions to just 40 rushing yards on 22 attempts. Although Montgomery suffered an injury and left that game early, he mustered only 14 yards on six rushes before exiting. The Buccaneers allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs all season, meaning Montgomery will likely need multiple trips to the end zone to pay off in GPP DFS tournaments. He will likely have opportunities to score, but his overall ceiling is likely to take a hit in this matchup against a strong front seven.
