Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) should be good to go for the Week 2 clash against the Packers. The sophomore continues to be plagued by a nagging groin ailment. However, after he practiced fully on Friday and head coach Dan Campbell indicated he is "fine," he should see the field, although he'll likely continue to carry the questionable designation leading up to the contest. Nonetheless, Swift has plenty of upside, although he may split carries again with Jamaal Williams, who had a team-high 54 yards and a touchdown off nine carries in Week 1 against the Niners. Still, Swift should remain classified as a starting option against Green Bay, despite his ongoing battle with the injury.
Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (chest) practiced in full on Saturday and does not carry an injury designation heading into Monday Night Football against the Packers. He started Week 1's contest over D'Andre Swift but both turned in highly effective productions. Now, Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Week 2, though the expectation is that he'll get a near-normal workload. Regardless of Swift's status, Williams represents a mid-range FLEX range in a revenge game against his old team.
Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (chest) is no longer an occupant on the team's official injury report. The veteran practiced sparingly throughout the week, which now appears to be purely precautionary. He had a fantastic Week 1, too, racking up 54 yards and a touchdown off nine carries during the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. With D'Andre Swift questionable with a nagging groin issue, Williams could be in line for an uptick in fantasy production, regardless if the sophomore back is active.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (thigh) was added to the injury report ahead of Monday night's game against the Packers. He enters Week 2 listed as questionable. The Lions' depleted receiving corps is already without Tyrell Williams (concussion), making Raymond's injury all the more troublesome. If he can't suit up, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Quintez Cephus would be in line for a significant increase in targets. Trinity Benson would also figure into the mix, too. Outside of the wide receiver position, running backs D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams and tight end T.J. Hockenson are on track to carry the offense.
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (concussion) has been ruled out for the Monday night meeting with the Green Bay Packers. Williams, the Lions top receiver, had just two catches for 14 yards before he had to leave the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers with a head injury. After not practicing all week, consider him questionable for Week 3. The Lions have one of the thinnest wide receiver corps in the league, with rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown, Quintez Cephus and Kalif Raymond likely to start in three-receiver sets against Green Bay. Raymond (75 percent) and St. Brown (64.1) saw the biggest snap percentages in the season opener, so they figure to be used the most with Williams out. Trinity Benson should have a bigger role as well, but tight end T.J. Hockenson is the only real fantasy asset that you can trust with any confidence going into Monday night.
