Danny Amendola Fantasy

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola will look to build off an impressive performance in Week 1 with the Los Angeles Chargers coming to town. Amendola finished Sunday with seven receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown and could find himself in another favorable position this Sunday. Left tackle Taylor Decker is currently listed as questionable and could force quarterback Matthew Stafford to look to the short passing game if he is unable to suit up, directly benefiting Amendola. Feel free to deploy Amendola as a flex option this week, although don't be surprised if more targets find their way to Lions receivers listed higher on the depth chart.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola was excellent in his first game as a Lion. Amendola finished Sunday's game with seven receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown against the Arizona Cardinals. Amendola is behind Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay on the depth chart, but he greatly out-produced both of them in Week 1. It will remain to be seen if this is an average or outlier game for Amendola this season. He has demonstrated the ability to be fantasy relevant at times, but consistent seven-plus reception games is extremely unlikely with the two other talented wide receivers on the depth chart. For now, Amendola will be a flex option moving forward in deeper leagues.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola has been struggling with an undisclosed injury but was able to catch three of four targets for 30 yards on Friday night in the Lions third preseason game against the Bills. Amendola remains below wide receivers Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones on the depth chart, so his workload could remain somewhat limited throughout the season. However, Amendola is an excellent slot receiver and having 10-plus catches in a game or two throughout the season is not out of the question. Amendola has much more value in full PPR leagues.
