Danny Amendola Fantasy

The Detroit Lions re-signed wide receiver Danny Amendola to a one-year deal on Saturday, according to his agent, Erik Burkhardt. All three of Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Amendola are in contract years in 2020. Amendola, 34, had 62 catches for 678 yards and a touchdown in his first season with Detroit last year. The 678 yards were the second-highest total in his career. The veteran slot man has caught 547 passes for 5,362 yards and 21 touchdowns in 141 games in his career with the Patriots, Rams, Dolphins and Lions. Unless one of Golladay or Jones are injured in 2020, though, Amendola's fantasy ceiling will be limited.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola had a disappointing game in the Lions Week 17 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Amendola caught just two balls for 16 scoreless yards on the day. He was able to slightly salvage his day with a 19-yard touchdown pass to quarterback David Blough. It has been a seesaw season for Amendola, who had to fight with Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones for targets for most of the season. If Amendola returns to Detroit next season, he will likely find himself in the exact same spot, assuming the Lions don't make any drastic changes on offense.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola came crashing back down to earth in Week 16. After receiving 29 targets over the previous three games, Amendola saw just three against the Denver Broncos. There is a good chance that Amendola gets targeted more in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers, but those extra targets may not yield the best results with David Blough under center for the Lions. Amendola will slot in as a WR4 for this week's matchup.
