Lions' Campbell can't hide tears for latest last-second loss
The emotion came spilling out of Detroit coach Dan Campbell after another crushing lossOCTOBER 10, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
D'Andre Swift - Strong fantasy line in defeat Swift (groin) rushed 11 times for 51 yards and a touchdown while catching all six of his targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to Minnesota.
Impact Jamaal Williams received two extra carries in this one, but it was Swift who provided the better returns for fantasy owners due to his touchdown and receiving production. It was the 22-year-old's second rushing touchdown and third total score through five games. While Swift's rushing totals have been disappointing (Sunday was his first game of over 50 rushing yards), he should be the preferred option in the backfield timeshare due to his heavy usage as a receiver (29 receptions for 252 yards). Swift and the Lions will face the Bengals next Sunday.

Jamaal Williams - 15 touches in loss Williams rushed 13 times for 57 yards and caught both of his targets for eight more yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Vikings.
Impact Williams ended up leading the backfield in carries, but it was D'Andre Swift who scored and did more damage in the passing game (six receptions for 53 yards). The two backs should continue to split carries, providing low-end value so long as the timeshare stays alive. Williams and the Lions will take on the Bengals in Week 6.

Quintez Cephus - Injury 'doesn't look good' Coach Dan Campbell said after Sunday's 19-17 loss at Minnesota that Cephus has a shoulder or clavicle injury that "doesn't look good," Chris Burke of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Lions will do their due diligence and evaluate Cephus' health concern to figure out the nature of the injury, but a clavicle issue could require surgery and potentially be season-ending. With Tyrell Williams (concussion) already on injured reserve, the team is getting woefully thin at wide receiver. Currently, Kalif Raymond, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Trinity Benson, KhaDarel Hodge and Tom Kennedy are the healthy and available players at the position on the active roster.

Corey Ballentine - Questionable to return Ballentine (hamstring) is questionable to return Sunday against the Vikings.
Impact Ballentine picked up the injury in the second half, and there's no clarity on whether he'll return. If he can't go, Julian Okwara or Charles Harris might see increases in snap counts considering the likes of Jessie Lemonier (coach's decision) and Romeo Okwara (Achilles) are not active for this one.
