Second straight game with two TDs for Amon-Ra
Key Points:
- The Lions are keeping last year’s play-calling terminology, with quarterback Jared Goff playing a significant role in familiarizing new play-caller Drew Petzing with the offense, suggesting continuity in their fantasy-friendly offensive approach.
- Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is expected to play in the upcoming game despite a limited practice, aiming to boost his stats for potential All-Pro recognition, even though the Lions are already out of playoff contention.
- Josh Jacobs faces a potential 4-6 game suspension after pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges, with the NFL struggling to obtain video evidence due to privacy concerns raised by the victim; Jacobs remains on the commissioner’s exempt list.
- Steelers cornerback Joey Porter’s contract situation is uncertain due to disagreements over guaranteed money, and he missed Week 1 with a back injury, casting doubt on his future with the team.
- Multiple NFL players have injury updates: Jaguars’ LeQuin Allen may see more third-down snaps; Jets’ Will McDonald is expected to play Week 2, while several teammates will miss the game; Rams’ Aaron Donald hopes to return Week 2; Bengals’ Joe Burrow is likely to play despite back tightness; Bills’ DJ Moore’s shoulder injury may sideline him for Week 3, and Dawson Knox remains a limited fantasy contributor despite scoring recently.
