Detroit Lions Fantasy Football Projections

QB Matt Stafford (Detroit) I like Matt Stafford’s chances to approach 5000 yards again as well. No team passes the ball more than the Lions. They passed 663 times last year and 633 times in 2010 without Stafford. He has a ton of weapons in Calvin Johnson, Titus Young, Nate Burleson, Ryan Broyles, Brandon Pettigrew, and Tony Scheffler. He might not throw for 41 touchdowns again...

Rookie Lions QB Kellen Moore impresses former Lions TE Rob Rubick

Rob Rubick, a former Detroit Lions tight end, doesn’t mince words. Calling him opinionated would be an understatement. Rubick doesn’t mind telling like it is. He doesn’t hold back. During WXYZ-Detroit’s 2012 Draft Day special, Rubick called for the Lions to draft a tackle. What happened? Detroit used its first-round pick on former Iowa star [...]

Lions FB James Bryant could find success in Detroit, says former Lions FB Cory Schlesinger

James Bryant’s usage, or potential usage, in the 2012 NFL season is one of the most interesting topics of the Detroit Lions’ offseason. Bryant, a former boxer and Canadian Football League player, is a fullback — a position that hasn’t been en vogue in Detroit — or in the NFL, for that matter — since [...]

Lions need to lock down Louis Delmas

Hustle, energy, non-stop — those words perfectly describe Detroit Lions safety Louis Delmas. Delmas, a former Western Michigan star, can’t be missed on the field. He’s flying, tackling, tipping passes, drilling receivers and giving quarterbacks fits in coverage. There is almost nothing he can’t do, really. “This is the guy,” Lions defensive backs coach Tim [...]

High expectations all around for 2012 Lions

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- A year after finishing 10-6, the Detroit Lions' season-win total for 2012 has been set at 9 12 by Las Vegas sports books. In other words, take the "over" if you think they're going to win 10 or more; the "under" if you think they'll win nine or fewer. For a little historical perspective, consider that never in club history have...

He and the Lions are in negotiations, but reportedly are not close. Avril wants to make that franchise tender amount for 4-5 seasons, according to NFL.com’s Albert Breer, who says Avril is shooting for 42 million over 4 years...

Young hopes to be big fish for Lions

ALLEN PARK, Mich. - You know you're a fishing fanatic when that's your sack dance in the NFL. Detroit Lions defensive end Willie Young put his creative celebration on display during last year's Monday Night game against the Chicago Bears. After throwing quarterback Jay Cutler to the ground, Young went into a fly-fishing routine that ended with him pretending to reel...

Knee injury of Lions’ Stephen Tulloch worse than originally believed?

Stephen Tulloch is one of the best middle linebackers in the league, especially in Detroit’s wide nine scheme, and was paid accordingly this offseason, signing a 5 year, 25 million dollar deal. However, there are now injury concerns with Tulloch. Tulloch has yet to practice in OTAs with a knee injury and while it was originally viewed as minor, Head Coach Jim Schwartz now says...
