Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions have selected RB/S Sione Vaki with the No. 132 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact: Vaki spent the majority of his college career at Utah as a safety but had a brief stint as an RB after the Utes found themselves in need of backfield help. Though Vaki has said in the past he would prefer to remain on defense, the Lions announced him as an RB in the draft, setting him up for a developmental role as the team's RB3/4. He had 42 carries for 317 yards and two TDs as an RB.

Fantasy Impact: Goff will still lead one of the NFL's most explosive offenses, but his future with the Lions remains a bit murky. He's a solid QB2 for fantasy at this point.

Fantasy Impact: Sewell has been a terrific player for the Lions since they drafted, earning an All-Pro nod, so this contract is absolutely deserved.

Amon-Ra St. Brown has signed a contract extension with the Detroit Lions. This new deal is for four years and $120 million, making him the highest-paid WR in the NFL. (Source: Ian Rapoport)

Fantasy Impact: St. Brown is coming off a season where he ranked as the WR4 in fantasy points per game. This new deal keeps him as a Lion for the long haul, and ensures that you can feel comfortable picking him as a top-seven pick in your drafts this year.

The Lions have matched the 49ers’ three-year, $12M offer to RFA Brock Wright. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Wright will return to the Lions after the team chose to match the 49ers offer. The 25-year-old will likely continue to serve as the backup to Sam LaPorta.

Romeo Okwara announced his retirement from the NFL after eight seasons. (Source: Kyle Meinke on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Okwara broke out with the Lions in 2018 when he recorded 7.5 sacks. He entered the league with the Giants as an undrafted free agent and continued his success with the Lions. He recorded 25 sacks throughout his career.

The Detroit Lions signed Kevin Zeitler to a one-year deal. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Zeitler joins Detroit after a Pro Bowl season with the Ravens. He has played at right guard for the majority of his career.

The Detroit Lions are bringing back WR Donovan Peoples-Jones on a one-year deal worth up to $2 million. (Source: Jordan Schultz on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Peoples-Jones was traded to Detroit midway through the season in exchange for a 2025 sixth-rounder. In eight games with the Lions, the former Cleveland Brown caught five passes for 58 yards. He only played on 13% of the offensive snaps and 14% of special teams snaps. With a cheap one-year deal, Peoples-Jones should be viewed as nothing more than a depth piece with field-stretching capabilities as he operates behind an established trio of receivers.

The Eagles are signing DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson to a three-year, $33M deal. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: CJGJ is returning to the Eagles after spending one season with the Lions. The 26-year-old tallied 17 tackles and one interception in three games last season. The Eagles continue to add to an already stout defense.

Dan Skipper is re-signing with the Lions on a one-year deal. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Skipper was promoted to the active roster later last season after opening the year on the practice squad. He will remain a depth piece for the Lions offensive line.

The Rams and G Jonah Jackson have agreed to terms on a three-year, $51M deal. (Source: Ari Meirov on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: The Rams strike big with the addition of Jackson. The Rams secure another guard to help guard Matthew Stafford in 2024.

The Lions and Graham Glasgow have agreed to a three-year, $20M deal. (Source: Adam Schefter )

Fantasy Impact: The 31-year old will remain in Detroit after turning in a solid first season with the Lions in 2023. Glasgow played 90% of the snaps last season and should play an important role in protecting Jared Goff in 2024.

The Detroit Lions have tendered RB Craig Reynolds, an exclusive-rights free agent, bringing him back for 2024. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Reynolds ran for 179 yards and one TD in 2023, serving as a depth RB for the Lions' already deep RB room. The Lions are also bringing back RB Zonovan Knight, and the two may be competing for the RB3 role in 2024 behind RBs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. This will be Reynolds' fourth season with the Lions.

Fantasy Impact: Turner is recovering from season-ending shoulder surgery. He'll likely remain in a depth role in the Lions backfield.

The Detroit Lions and veteran CB Emmanuel Moseley have reached terms on a one-year deal to bring the corner back to Motor City. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Moseley was ruled out for the season in October after tearing his ACL, the second one in as many years. He essentially is signing a prove-it deal to show he can return to form and proper health after only playing one game last year. Moseley will be 28 entering next season and could help provide depth in a corner room that needs productive players.

The Lions are not picking up Khalil Dorsey's exclusive rights tender. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Dorsey finished last season with 11 tackles, one pass deflection and 244 kick return yards. He is now set to hit free agency.

Lions head coach Dan Campbell said he expects Jameson Williams to compete for a full-time starting role ahead of the 2024 season. (Source: Pride of Detroit on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: "By the end of the year, we really felt like he was coming into his own," Campbell said. Williams saw his playing time increase over the latter part of last season after he was suspended the first month of the year.

The Lions have agreed to a contract extension with Pro Bowl special teamer Jalen Reeves-Maybin on a two-year, $7.5 million. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: This deal makes Reeves-Maybin the highest-paid core special-teamer ever. He will remain with Detroit for two more seasons.

Tre'Quan Smith has signed a Reserve-Future contract with the Lions. (Source: Aaron Wilson on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Following five seasons with the Saints, Smith spent almost all of the 2023 season on the Broncos practice squad. The former third-round pick, now 28, was not extending a contract offer by the Broncos, so that cleared the way for him to sign with another team. Smith gives the Lions some added depth at wide receiver, as the team could lose both Donovan Peoples-Jones and Josh Reynolds to free agency. Smith averaged 26 receptions for 353 yards with 18 total touchdowns for the Saints from 2018 to 2022.

Zach Ertz will not be activated from the Lions practice squad ahead of Sunday's NFC Championship Game. (Source: Jeremy Fowler on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ertz signed with the Lions at the beginning of this past week. The veteran TE requested and was granted his release from the Cardinals back in November. Ertz was hoping to be ready to get on the field for the Lions this Sunday, as he reportedly worked very hard all week toward that goal. The Lions have ultimately decided against it. Sam LaPorta getting in a full practice Friday likely had something to do with the decision.
