Swift is poised to be a viable fantasy RB2 in his sophomore season. There have been some concerns floating around preseason about his conditioning that could put a damper in his workload, but he still remains a sure thing starter at this point.

TJ Hockensen (TE)

Expect Hockensen to be an every week starter in fantasy this year. This offense made several changes in the offseason along with a coaching change, but this should not affect Hockensen’s production. With the departure of Marvin Jones and Kenny Golladay, this TE should not have much competition for targets in 2021.

Jamaal Williams (RB)
69.9%

After 4 years playing for the division rival Packers, Williams comes to Detroit in a very similar role as a situational RB. He still possesses plenty of fantasy value on a team that could run the ball a lot this year. If Swift were to miss some time, Williams could be very startable in fantasy, but for now consider him as a bench option.

Tyrell Williams (WR)

Sleeper Candidate

Expect the Detroit receiving unit to mostly flow through Hockensen this year, but if there is another option to consider, take a look at Tyrell Williams. The Lions could be a team that is down in a lot of games this year which could lead to plenty of passing plays. Keep a close eye on Tyrell Williams to consider on your bench.

Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR)
10.2%

This multifaceted receiver could see a large portion of targets this year in Detroit. The 2021 4th round pick is slated at this moment as the No. 2 WR on the Lions depth chart and could impress people this year. Do not add St. Brown to your team quite yet but keep his name on your watch list down the road.
