Jack Campbell - Secures seven tackles in blowout Campbell recorded seven total tackles (one solo) in Sunday's 47-9 victory over the Cowboys.

Impact Campbell was once again busy in Week 6, finishing tied for the team lead in takedowns with cornerback Amik Robertson against Dallas. Campbell played 73 percent of the team's defensive snaps, which is close to his typical workload as he's now established himself as the team's primary left outside linebacker. Through five games in 2024, the 24-year-old has produced 31 total tackles (15 solo) and a forced fumble.

Brian Branch - Monster performance in blowout win Branch recorded six total tackles (five solo), two interceptions, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Branch was a man on a mission in Week 6, picking off Dak Prescott in both the first quarter and the fourth quarter, the latter of which he nearly returned for a touchdown. On top of that, the safety stripped wide receiver Ryan Flournoy in the third quarter, which was recovered by teammate Terrion Arnold. Branch has emerged as one of the most dynamic safeties in the NFL this season, compiling 28 total tackles (21 solo), three interceptions, nine passes defensed and a forced fumble over five games in 2024.

Alim McNeill - Two sacks in blowout victory McNeill recorded four total tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.

Impact McNeill got to Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott twice in the Detroit's blowout victory, recording a sack in both the second quarter and fourth quarter. It was the second straight game in which the defensive lineman was able to get to the opposing quarterback and he's now halfway to his career-high 5.0 sacks he set last season. Through five games in 2024, McNeill has now compiled eight total tackles (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, while also registering a pass defensed.

Jake Bates - Busy day in blowout win Bates went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 5-for-5 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Bates had gone back-to-back games without a field goal, but he was a busy man in Week 6, nailing four field goals in the Lions' dominant victory over Dallas. With Detroit averaging 30.2 points per game as a team, Bates figures to remain one of the more consistent fantasy options at kicker. Through five games in 2024, he's gone a perfect 9-for-9 on field-goal attempts while making 16 out of 17 PATs.

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.

Impact Reynolds saw some added work on offense 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 in 2024 while keeping a slight edge over rookie Sione Vaki for that No. 3 spot.

Kalif Raymond - Four catches in Week 6 Raymond caught four of six targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Raymond played 24 offensive snaps in the victory over Dallas, his highest total since Week 2, turning his added opportunities into a season high in both catches and yardage. Entering play Sunday, the wide receiver had only seen five total targets on the year and he still remains buried under Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Tim Patrick on Detroit's depth chart, limiting his offensive upside. Through five games in 2024, Raymond has caught eight of 11 targets for 109 yards.

Tim Patrick - Three catches in win Patrick caught all three of his targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Patrick has established himself as the No. 3 wide receiver for the Lions this season, setting season highs in catches and yards against Dallas. The 30-year-old has yet to find the end zone this year and he came up one yard short with an eight-yard reception in the second quarter, which was originally called a touchdown on the field before being overturned. Patrick has now compiled eight catches for 140 yards over four games with Detroit in 2024.

Sam LaPorta - Impactful with lone catch LaPorta recorded one reception on one target for 52 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.

Impact While game script dictated limited target volume for most of Detroit's pass catchers, LaPorta's lack of involvement in the offense remains alarming. He has yet to top five targets -- he's only reached that mark in Week 1 -- this season while managing to top 50 receiving yards in two matchups. Despite those concerning numbers, LaPorta did deliver with his lone catch Sunday, which was a 52-yard touchdown that came on a trick play.

Amon-Ra St. Brown - Catches TD in blowout win St. Brown recorded four catches on four targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys.

Impact St. Brown saw his fewest targets of the season, primarily due to game script as the Lions took to the air only nine times in the final two quarters. He still managed to save his day early in the fourth quarter with a four-yard touchdown reception, marking his third straight game with a trip to the end zone. Overall, St. Brown has now topped 100 yards or found the end zone in four of five matchups on the campaign.

Jameson Williams - Makes long touchdown grab Williams recorded three receptions on four targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys. He added one rush for 11 yards.

Impact The Lions had relatively flat target distribution in Sunday's blowout win, with Kalif Raymond surprisingly leading the way with six looks. Though Williams has now seen only nine targets combined across his last three games, he continues to deliver electric plays. Against the Cowboys, that came early in the third quarter on a 37-yard touchdown during which Williams beat Trevon Diggs to the corner of the end zone to haul in a deep pass. Williams' profile suggests he should be a boom or bust option, but he has at least 75 receiving yards in four of five games on the campaign.

Jahmyr Gibbs - Overshadowed by Montgomery Gibbs rushed the ball 12 times for 63 yards in Sunday's 47-9 win over the Cowboys. He added three receptions on five targets for 28 yards.

Impact Gibbs worked evenly with David Montgomery on the ground and was much better as a pass catcher, though Montgomery's fantasy performance was superior thanks to a pair of scores. Even so, Gibbs turned in a fine performance that was highlighted by a 20-yard reception and five rush attempts that went for at least five yards. He now has a minium of 78 total yards from scrimmage in all five games this season, though he has ceded a lot of work at the goal line to David Montgomery.
