Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Disappoints during second training camp
TeSlaa will enter the season as the Lions' No. 3 receiver despite a poor showing during training camp and going without a reception on three targets over 44 snaps during his two preseason appearances, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. "I'm not too concerned," wide receivers coach Scottie Montgomery said last week, regarding TeSlaa's lackluster camp. "I do want our guys making every single play. And we did hold him accountable for some of the things that went on, and that's the difference in being in the room and being outside of the room."
TeSlaa operated primarily as the Lions' No. 4 receiver during his 2025 rookie campaign, appearing in all 17 games and finishing with a 16-239-6 receiving line on 27 targets. Even on the limited volume of targets, the 6-foot-4, 214-pound wideout made a number of highlight-reel grabs during his first NFL season, but he hasn't shown the same ability to win on contested balls during his second training camp. He also made a couple of critical blunders in the Lions' preseason-opening loss to the Bengals, dropping a pass that led to an interception and failing to reel in another catchable target on a fourth-down pass. Montgomery noted that getting more exposure to facing No. 1 cornerbacks in both camp and the preseason has likely played a part in TeSlaa's lack of output, but the Lions apparently saw enough growth from him beyond his box-score contributions to hand him the No. 3 job and are keeping just four total receivers on the 53-man roster heading into Week 1. TeSlaa will still face a difficult path to fantasy relevance as the fifth option in the Detroit passing game when all of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta (hip) are available.

Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Blanked on three targets Thursday
TeSlaa didn't catch any of his three targets in Thursday's 16-14 preseason loss to the Bengals.
TeSlaa couldn't get on the same page with quarterbacks Luke Altmyer and Joshua Dobbs as the Lions rested key starters, including Jared Goff. Detroit's 2025 third-round pick will likely continue to get opportunities in the preseason as TeSlaa tries to nail down the third spot on Detroit's wide receiver depth chart behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. The Lions' second preseason game will be Aug. 22 against Washington.

Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Athleticism jump standing out
Lions wide receivers coach Scottie Montgomery said Sunday that TeSlaa looks stronger and more athletic entering Year 2, Jacob Richman of MLive.com reports.
TeSlaa flashed touchdown upside as a rookie, finishing with 16 catches for 239 yards and six scores, including eight catches for 119 yards and two touchdowns over Detroit's final three regular-season games. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams remain Jared Goff's top two targets, with RB Jahmyr Gibbs and TE Sam LaPorta also highly involved, but Kalif Raymond's departure gives TeSlaa a clear path to the No. 3 WR role. If TeSlaa's added strength and cleaner route breaks help him separate more consistently, he could take a step forward in Year 2 despite Detroit's crowded offense. Head coach Dan Campbell also praised TeSlaa's maturity during mandatory minicamp.

Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Showing maturity entering Year 2
Lions head coach Dan Campbell said Tuesday at mandatory minicamp that TeSlaa has "impressed" the coaching staff this offseason and already "feels like a veteran," Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.
Campbell noted that he wished Detroit had gotten TeSlaa more touches as a rookie and said the receiver "became a guy [...] we had a lot of trust in" down the stretch. The 2025 third-round pick appeared in all 17 regular-season games, recording 16 catches for 239 yards and six touchdowns. While TeSlaa faces stiff competition for targets alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta (back), the "consistency" that Campbell praised could help him earn a larger role in 2026.

Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Knack for end zone in rookie year
TeSlaa caught 16 of 27 targets for 239 yards and six touchdowns over 17 contests during the regular season.
TeSlaa wasn't used often in his rookie campaign, but when he was, he was finding the end zone at an impressive clip. The wide receiver finished third on the team at his position in receiving touchdowns behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (11) and Jameson Williams (seven), with four of his scores coming in Detroit's final six games of the year. TeSlaa's 6-foot-4 frame and impressive contested-catch ability make him a valuable red-zone asset, and he'll look to carve out an every-down role for himself in his second season with the Lions.

Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Another trip to end zone in loss
TeSlaa caught three of four targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings.
TeSlaa was able to reach pay dirt for the second straight game and fourth time in five contests, securing a four-yard score in the second quarter. The wide receiver now has reeled in 15 of 26 targets for 221 yards and six touchdowns over 16 contests in his rookie campaign. TeSlaa appears to be a significant red-zone threat at the professional level, and he'll be a guy to keep an eye on in 2026.

Lions' Isaac TeSlaa: Productive in loss to Pittsburgh
TeSlaa caught four of seven targets for 52 yards and one touchdown in the Lions' 29-24 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
TeSlaa entered Week 16 having seen 15 targets all season, so seven easily marked a new single-game high for the rookie wideout. His seven targets were fourth on the team on a day Jared Goff dropped back to pass 57 times with the Lions in comeback mode much of the afternoon. TeSlaa now has a touchdown in three of the last four games but will be difficult to get behind as a fantasy starter on Christmas Day against the Vikings.
