Lions' Craig Reynolds: Logs two carries in blowout victory
Reynolds rushed the ball twice for 21 yards in Sunday's 52-6 win over the Jaguars.
Reynolds entered the game in the fourth quarter with the game well in hand for Detroit, toting the rock for the first time since Week 8. The running back remains a far-off No. 3 option behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, possessing little-to-no fantasy value.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Three carries in win
Reynolds rushed the ball three times for three yards in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans.
Reynolds remained a non-factor on offense in Week 8, even in a blowout. The running back has found touches hard to come by in the backfield this season, operating as a distant third option behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Through seven games in 2024, Reynolds has turned nine carries into 24 yards.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Added work in blowout win
Reynolds rushed the ball six times for 21 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.
Reynolds saw some garbage-time work with the game well in hand for Detroit in the fourth quarter, logging his first offensive touches of the year. The 28-year-old remains a distant third option at running back behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs while keeping a slight edge over rookie Sione Vaki for that No. 3 spot.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Fails to log offensive snap
Reynolds did not log a snap on offense in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams.
Reynolds is buried behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs on the running back depth chart and was limited to 18 special-teams snaps in Week 1. Rookie Sione Vaki was able to garner two snaps with the offense, but it's unclear whether Reynolds or Vaki can be considered Detroit's No. 3 running back at this moment. Barring an injury ahead of them, neither will hold much fantasy value.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Cleared from injury report
Reynolds (leg) was not listed on the Lions' estimated injury report Wednesday.
Reynolds' absence from the report is good news for the Kutztown product. Although it is worth noting that Detroit did not hold a practice Wednesday, so his participation in practice was just an estimate. It should confirm previous reports that he was expected to be ready Week 1. He'll likely compete with Sione Vaki for a limited number of snaps Sunday against the Rams, behind the Lions' backfield duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Injury doesn't appear serious
Head coach Dan Campbell said Saturday that Reynolds (leg) should be available for the Lions' regular-season opener against the Rams on Sept. 8, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
Reynolds sustained a leg injury during Thursday's practice, which kept him out of Detroit's preseason finale against Pittsburgh on Saturday. He is competing against Sione Vaki for the No. 3 running back role behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Reynolds accumulated 16 rushing yards on five carries over his two preseason appearances.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Leaves practice with leg injury
Reynolds left Thursday's practice with a leg issue but avoided a serious injury, Jared Ramsey of Detroit Free Press reports.
While Reynolds reportedly did avoid a serious injury, his leg problem could keep him out of Detroit's final preseason game against the Steelers this Saturday. The 5-foot-11 running back is looking to secure the RB3 spot over rookie fourth-round pick Sione Vaki ahead of the season, but Reynolds will need to stay healthy if he wants to be a part of the backfield at any capacity this season.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Plays first preseason drive
Reynolds ran for five yards on one carry and caught one pass for three yards in Saturday's preseason game against Kansas City.
Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) and David Montgomery both took a rest day here, and Reynolds claimed the first touch at running back for Detroit. It's not clear how settled the competition might be between Reynolds and rookie fourth-round pick Sione Vaki, but the fact that Reynolds played first Saturday would seemingly hint that Reynolds is the current favorite for the RB3 role, if only because Reynolds already earned some benefit of the doubt from head coach Dan Campbell in the previous three years. The Lions are fully expected to keep Vaki on the roster as well, but at 216 pounds Reynolds likely offers a bit more power than Vaki (5-foot-11, 210 pounds), while Vaki might offer more elusiveness and receiving upside.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Competing for No. 3 role
Reynolds had four carries for 11 yards in Thursday's 14-3 loss to the Giants.
Reynolds enters the 2024 campaign in a battle for the No. 3 running back role behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs, competing with rookie Sione Vaki for that spot. Vaki turned four carries into 29 yards versus New York, including a 15-yard scamper in the second quarter. It's hard to read too much into usage in the preseason, but Reynolds saw nine offensive snaps while Vaki was on the field for 13. Reynolds appeared in all 17 regular-season games with Detroit in 2023 and likely still has the edge to open the season above Vaki on the depth chart.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Back to Detroit
The Lions re-signed Reynolds as an exclusive rights free agent Monday.
Reynolds appeared in 16 regular-season games last year, rushing 41 times for 179 yards and one touchdown. He also secured all five of his targets for 47 yards. Now having re-upped with Detroit, he figures to reprise a depth role behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Totals 226 yards in 2023
Reynolds rushed 41 times for 179 yards and one touchdown while catching five passes (on five targets) for 47 yards over 17 regular-season games in 2023.
Reynolds had a couple of productive games during the first half of the season while filling in for David Montgomery, who missed multiple games due to injuries. However, both Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs managed to stay healthy over the second half of the year, leaving little work for Reynolds outside of returning kickoffs on special teams. Now set to become an unrestricted free agent, Reynolds is a candidate to return to Detroit but will need to land a new contract this offseason.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Plays exclusively on special teams
Reynolds returned a kickoff for 26 yards while playing all 17 of his snaps on special teams in Saturday's 42-17 win over the Broncos.
For a four-week stretch from Weeks 5 through 8, Reynolds made a splash in a supporting role out of the backfield for Detroit, carrying 34 times for 157 yards and a touchdown while adding four receptions for 49 yards. However, with both David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs having stayed healthy since the Lions' Week 9 bye, Reynolds has since seen his role on offense almost completely evaporate. He's played just nine total snaps on offense and hasn't logged any carries or targets over Detroit's last six contests.

Lions' Craig Reynolds: Returns to small offensive role
Reynolds logged three offensive snaps during Sunday's win over the Chargers.
With David Montgomery back in action, Reynolds returned to logging more than half of the available snaps on specials teams, just as he had when Montgomery was healthy early in the season. This arrangement presumably won't change as long as Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs stay healthy.
