Who Are the Lions’ Top Fantasy Players?
WR Amon-Ra St. Brown
St. Brown has seen his volume and yards per catch increase every season of his career, a rare combination and one that projects as sustainable given that the Lions are returning much of the same offense. Last year, that unit was top five in both passing yards and points per game. He has shown great consistency by ranking as a top-10 receiver in both catches and yards in consecutive seasons, flashing the type of scoring potential late last season that gives him the path to be the top fantasy receiver in 2024.

RB Jahmyr Gibbs
Gibbs delivered RB1 numbers in 2023 despite being undersized and part of a timeshare. His explosive playmaking ability and efficiency make him one of the most exciting young running backs in the NFL, but his volume remains a concern. Gibbs’ value lies in his efficiency rather than sheer volume, which could limit his ceiling compared to other top RBs. Gibbs is currently being drafted as the RB6, 12th overall. This places him behind Saquon Barkley and Jonathan Taylor, both of whom are likely to see more touches. However, Gibbs’ talent and explosiveness make him an appealing pick in the back half of Round 1, especially if you’re targeting a high-upside RB.

TE Sam LaPorta
LaPorta had an outstanding rookie season, averaging 14.1 fantasy points per game, the best by a rookie tight end in fantasy history. He caught 86 passes for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns. LaPorta’s 21.1% target share and 1.78 yards per route run were among the top in the league for tight ends. Despite being targeted on 24% of his routes, he averaged only 7.4 yards per target, indicating room for improvement. With no significant additions to the Lions’ offensive skill positions, LaPorta remains the clear No. 2 target behind Amon-Ra St. Brown. His role as a top red zone target for QB Jared Goff is solidified.
