LaPorta finished with three receptions on as many targets for 15 yards in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

LaPorta came out of Monday's primetime matchup with his worst receiving line of the season. The 24-year-old's targets and yardage both represented new lows in seven starts this year. LaPorta's dud comes on the heels of the tight end's best two fantasy outings in which he scored a touchdown apiece, so managers should hang tight through the Lions' upcoming bye week. Detroit resumes play against Minnesota on Sunday, Nov. 2 in Week 9.

Otton secured seven of nine targets for 65 yards in the Buccaneers' 24-9 loss to the Lions on Monday night.

Otton led the Buccaneers in receptions and receiving yards while tying for second in targets. The veteran tight end benefited from the absence of Chris Godwin (fibula) and the early exit of Mike Evans (concussion/collarbone), which helped lead to Otton's season-high catch total. Otton also had what appeared to be a reception ultimately deemed an interception, but he could be due for another busy day in a Week 8 road divisional clash against the Saints if Godwin remains out and exacerbates the confirmed absence of Evans.

Montgomery was held to 21 yards on 13 carries while catching two of three targets for 18 yards in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

Jahmyr Gibbs went off for 218 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on Monday Night Football, leaving scraps for Montgomery's fantasy managers in Week 7. The latter still received 15 touches, highlighting his continued involvement in Detroit's two-pronged backfield. Both talented rushers have recorded a game with 100-plus yards this season, with Gibbs having the edge in total yards (+269) and touchdowns (+3). Montgomery may not be as tantalizing an asset as Gibbs, but he should continue providing flex value in fantasy when the Lions resume play Week 9.

Goff completed 20 of 29 pass attempts for 241 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding two rush attempts for seven yards and a lost fumble in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

Goff was able to lead his team to victory on Monday Night Football, but it came at the expense of his first multi-turnover game of the season. It also was the veteran signal-caller's third time scoring one touchdown or less this year. Goff has thrown 12 touchdowns to just one interception in his four other starts, so his whole body of work has been positive as Detroit enters its Week 8 bye. The 30-year-old should continue to be treated as a starting-level option in fantasy when the Lions host the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Ayomanor recorded two receptions (on five targets) for 29 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Patriots.

Ayomanor had a chance to step up in the absence of Calvin Ridley (hamstring), but it was Chimere Dike who instead had a relatively big performance. Ayomanor managed to tie for second on the team in targets, but he had a very quiet day after recording a 20-yard catch on the Titans' opening possession. He now has fewer than 30 receiving yards in three straight games.

St. Brown finished with six receptions (on 10 targets) for 86 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-9 win over Tampa Bay.

St. Brown found his way back into the end zone after being held scoreless in Detroit's last two contests. The superstar wideout continued dominating QB Jared Goff's target share, finishing the primetime win with seven more targets than any other Lions receiver. St. Brown's mini scoring slump hasn't stopped him from posting a WR1 numbers (50-538-7) heading into his team's bye week. Fantasy managers will have to fill the Sun God's roster spot Week 8 until Detroit returns to action against Minnesota on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Spears rushed the ball five times for 22 yards in Sunday's 31-13 loss to the Patriots. He added three receptions (on four targets) for 18 yards.

The Titans attempted only 12 rushes in the game, with Spears splitting the workload almost exactly evenly with Tony Pollard. More surprising was that Pollard out-produced him as a pass catcher, a role that Spears had seemingly taken over since his return to the field. While he's added an element to the Tennessee offense, the unit is poor enough that Spears won't be able to sustain fantasy value so long as he's in a timeshare with Pollard.

Campbell recorded eight total tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Monday night's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

Campbell finished tied for the team lead in takedowns with safety Erick Hallett, securing at least eight stops for the seventh game in a row to start the year. Additionally, the linebacker was able to get to quarterback Baker Mayfield in the first quarter, notching a sack for the second consecutive game. Campbell has now registered 64 total tackles (34 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while also adding two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over seven contests this season.

Gibbs took 17 carries for 136 yards and a pair of touchdowns while adding three receptions for 82 yards in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

Gibbs saved his best for the bright lights of Monday Night Football, generating his first 100-yard rushing game this season while going over 200 yards from scrimmage for the first time in his career. The fantasy stud had cooled off over the Lions' last two contests, so managers have to feel elated receiving Monday's late boon to their scores. David Montgomery struggled to generate 39 total yards on 15 touches, but he remains a steady presence as part of Detroit's thunder and lightning backfield. Gibbs sprints into the upcoming bye week tallying 720 combined yards from scrimmage and seven total touchdowns through seven starts in 2025. Fantasy GMs will have to hold things together until the Lions resume play against the Vikings on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Dennis recorded 12 tackles (eight solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Monday's loss to the Lions.

Dennis finished second on Tampa Bay in tackles and recorded a new season-high mark. He also logged his first sack of the campaign when he brought down Jared Goff for a 12-yard loss early in the second quarter. On the season, Dennis has tallied 52 tackles and two pass defenses through seven contests.
