Josh Reynolds - Cleared for Week 18 The Lions activated Reynolds (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Impact Though Reynolds wasn't able to clear the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol ahead of Sunday's eventual 51-29 loss to the Seahawks like Detroit head coach Dan Campbell initially hoped, the 26-year-old is on track to rejoin the lineup for this weekend's season finale versus the Packers. Regardless of whether Jared Goff (knee) or Tim Boyle starts at quarterback Week 18, look for Reynolds to serve as no better than the No. 2 option in the passing attack behind rookie wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has drawn no fewer than 11 targets in any of the Lions' past five games.

Austin Bryant - Lands on COVID-19 list Detroit placed Bryant on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after he tested positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Bryant played 64 percent of the defensive snaps and totaled five tackles and a sack during Sunday's loss to Seattle. The 25-year-old can still clear the league's COVID-19 protocols in time to play Week 18 against the Packers, but his availability is now up in the air.
JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Brockers - Activated from COVID list Brockers (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Impact Brockers missed Sunday's loss to the Seahawks after landing on the COVID-19 list last week, but he's now cleared the league protocols. He hadn't missed a game this season prior to the absence and has 51 tackles (23 solo) and one sack.

Riley Patterson - Misses lone field-goal attempt Patterson missed his lone field-goal attempt but made three of three PATs during Sunday's 51-29 loss to Seattle.
Impact Patterson's one chance at avoiding a dud performance fell short of the crossbar on a 55-yard attempt at the end of the first half. The only opportunities he otherwise saw came on extra points, and he was even robbed of one of those when the Lions went for two at point. While Patterson has flexed some interested upside in recent weeks, the Lions offense could remain extra untrustworthy in Week 18 against Green Bay if starting QB Jared Goff (knee) remains sidelined.
JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tom Kennedy - No catches on three targets Kennedy saw three targets but did not record a catch during Sunday's 51-29 loss to Seattle.
Impact Kennedy was in line for an expanded role with both of Kalif Raymond and Josh Reynolds on the COVID list. While he logged a season-high 24 offensive snaps, Kennedy was clearly the fourth receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, KhaDarel Hodge and Trinity Benson. With his playing time only set to decrease should Raymond or Reynolds gain medical clearance in the coming week, Kennedy will not be an advisable fantasy option when Detroit hosts Green Bay in Week 18.
JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jared Pinkney - No targets Pinkey logged 28 of 63 offensive snaps during Sunday's 51-29 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Pinkey was in the starting lineup with both T.J. Hockenson (finger) and Brock Wright (COVID-19) sidelined, but he was not targeted with a pass even though Detroit sent a pair of them to offensive tackles. The Vanderbilt product will not be on the fantasy radar in Week 18 against Green Bay even if Wright is unable to gain medical clearance in time.
JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Decker - Catches touchdown Decker caught one pass for six yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 51-29 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Down at tight end with T.J. Hockenson (finger) and Brock Wright (COVID-19) sidelined, Detroit directed two targets to offensive tackles on the final drive of the game after failing to deliver one to a tight end at any point before. While it worked out for Decker to get open for a goal-line touchdown, this situation mainly helps show how no Detroit tight end will be worthy of even a DFS dart throw when the Lions close out the season with a Week 18 matchup with the Packers.
JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Trinity Benson - Puts up 31 receiving yards Benson caught two of four targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 51-29 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Benson was one of three Lions receivers to set career highs in the receiving yardage department, but most of it was meaningless since Detroit was getting blown out before the first half ended. The East Central University product will likely move back down the depth chart if either of Josh Reynolds or Kalif Raymond is able to clear COVID protocols in time for the Lions' Week 18 matchup with the Packers.
JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Craig Reynolds - Quiet in No. 3 role Reynolds rushed four times for four yards during Sunday's 51-29 loss to Seattle.
Impact Reynolds got a handful of touches throughout the game, but the return of D'Andre Swift predictably pushed Reynolds into a tertiary role. With no injuries to report for either of Swift or Jamaal Williams, Reynolds will presumably remain that way in Week 18 against Green Bay.
JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tim Boyle - Pads stats in garbage time Boyle completed 22 of 37 passes for 262 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions during Sunday's 51-29 loss to Seattle. He added 14 rushing yards on one attempt.
Impact Boyle didn't do much until Detroit was down 38-7 minutes into the third quarter, which the Eastern Kentucky product had opened with an interception on the first offensive play. While Boyle was subsequently able to pad his stats with a couple of touchdowns to Amon-Ra St. Brown and offensive tackle Taylor Decker, the Lions were never really in the game thanks to a terrible defensive showing that admittedly would be hard for any quarterback to overcome. That Detroit never turned to David Blough at any point suggests Boyle will remain under center in Week 18 against Green Bay if Jared Goff (knee) is still unable to play, but we'd expect his production to be more similar to Week 16 against the Falcons (187 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception) than what Boyle was able to put up in garbage time against the Seahawks, who were decimated by injuries and COVID-related absences by the time Boyle made any noise.
