After a stand-out performance as part of a dominant win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions rookie running back D’Andre Swift is at the top of most fantasy football Week 6 recap pages.

The Detroit Lions were hoping to become a breakout team in the 2020 NFL season with quarterback Matthew Stafford back at full health.

Odell Beckham and Adrian Peterson are part of a curious development.

This has led to the absence of a few notable players from practices. Cleveland Browns wide […]

The Detroit Lions suffered another disappointing defeat on Sunday, falling to the New Orleans Saints 35-29.

Following Detroit’s loss […]

New Orleans Saints Sean Payton has opened up about his team’s recent ordeal involving a number of COVID-19 false positive results from some of their players.

The Detroit Lions, traditionally, have not exactly been known for fielding the finest rosters in their long existence, and they haven’t exactly been heralded for their shrewd front offices, either (see: Matt Millen). In fact, the Lions — one of football’s longest-running franchises — are not active traders, at all, no matter who’s in charge. […]

There’s been lots of action through the first three weeks of the NFL. There’s a moderate amount of wideouts that’ll be sidelined ahead of Week 4, possibly leaving fantasy football owners perplexed.

The Detroit Lions started 2020 with two consecutive losses to fellow NFC North teams. It is safe to assume it is not how they wanted to begin their year.
