Detroit Lions DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery heads into a favorable Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts, fresh off a two-touchdown performance in Week 11. Montgomery rushed 15 times for 75 yards and two scores while adding 20 yards on three receptions in Detroit's dominant 52-6 win over the Jaguars. With 10 touchdowns in 10 games, Montgomery remains the Lions' primary red-zone option, ranking ninth in red-zone touches and fourth in total touchdowns this season. Montgomery has been one of the most consistent backs in fantasy, finishing outside the top 24 just once this year. The Colts rank 28th against the run, allowing the sixth-most rushing yards per game and the second-most yards after contact per attempt. Expect Montgomery to capitalize on a positive game script and deliver another reliable performance for fantasy managers in Week 12.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown heads into a Week 12 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts as one of the most reliable WR1 options in fantasy football. St. Brown is coming off an elite performance in Week 11, catching all 11 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns, extending his touchdown streak to eight consecutive games. He ranks as the WR2 on the season, trailing only Ja'Marr Chase in fantasy points. St. Brown has exceeded 100 receiving yards in three games this season and thrives against zone defenses like the Colts, who rank 26th against the pass. Fantasy managers should continue to trust him as an elite WR1 option.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs heads into Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts as a consistent RB1 option for fantasy managers. Gibbs has been electric, finishing as the RB6 last week after turning 12 touches into 123 total yards and a touchdown. He's a Top-6 RB in total fantasy points this season and ranks fifth in rushing yards, demonstrating his ability to maximize his opportunities. The Colts present a favorable matchup, ranking 28th against the run while allowing the sixth-most rushing yards per game and the second-most rushing attempts. Gibbs has scored five touchdowns in his last five games and surpassed 100 scrimmage yards six times this season. Working in tandem with David Montgomery, Gibbs remains a dynamic playmaker and should be locked in as an RB1 for Week 12.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff heads into Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts riding high after his best performance of the season last week. Goff ranks among the league's best in key metrics, leading all quarterbacks in yards per attempt while sitting second in passer rating and fifth in CPOE. The Colts defense has shown improvement recently but remains vulnerable, allowing the ninth-most completions and eighth-most passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks. While Indy has tightened up since Week 6, Goff's efficiency and the Lions' offensive weapons should keep him in the mix as a solid QB1 option. With Detroit's potent scoring offense averaging 31.6 points per game, Goff is poised to remain productive for fantasy managers again in Week 12.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) is off the injury report and cleared to return to action on Sunday to face the Indianapolis Colts. The sophomore tight end sat out last weekend due to this injury but will return to his starting role on Sunday. LaPorta has struggled to find consistency throughout the season, as he has scored double-digit PPR points on just three occasions and has seen just 3.6 targets per game. Despite his struggles this season, the Detroit offense has remained one of the league's top units, and fantasy should continue to view him as a top-12 option. This weekend, he should have a great opportunity to bounce back against the Colts, who have allowed the sixth-most PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.
