Jermar Jefferson Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Jared Goff returned to practice Thursday, while D'Andre Swift, Jermar Jefferson, and T.J. Hockenson all logged DNPs ahead of their matchup against the Denver Broncos. Goff should be set to start Sunday after logging a full practice today which is good news for all Detroit pass-catchers. This is not a good sign for a potential Swift return in week 14 but it is still possible depending on what he is listed as on the injury report tomorrow If Swift is unable to return it would be Jamaal Williams once again leading the backfield with Jermar Jefferson (if available) and Godwin Igwebuike available to back him up. Williams could be considered in most formats due to expected volume. This could be a maintenance day for Hockenson but if he were to be ruled out, Brock Wright would be in line to see the bulk of the snaps at tight end for the Lions.

Jared Goff and Jermar Jefferson have been listed questionable for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears while Trinity Benson has been listed out. As expected Jared Goff will be a game-time decsion tomorrow and if he were to be ruled out Tim Boyle would draw his second straight start. If Boyle were to start the expected production of all Detroit players would be affected in a negative way. Jermar Jefferson is not expected to play a major role in the Detroit backfield behind D'Andre Swift and Jamaal WIlliams so his potential absence is not expected to be DFS relevant. Trinity Benson will once again be out meaning Amon-Ra St. Brown, Kalif Raymond, and Josh Reynolds will lead the Lions receiving corps. It will be important to check the status of Jared Goff when inactives are released tomorrow 90 minutes prior to kickoff as his status will have a significant effect on the expected production of all Lions pass-catchers.

Jared Goff has been listed doubtful for Sunday, Trinity Benson and Jamaal Williams have been listed questionable and Jermar Jefferson has been listed out. Tim Boyle will likely draw the start this weekend. If Boyle gets the start the already poor Lions offense will take another hit and will likely be less efficient. At this point, the only players that are DFS relevant are D’Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson who will both have their expected production lowered if Goff is unable to suit up. It will probably be best to avoid any and all Detroit Lions this week regardless of who plays quarterback as they draw a tough matchup against the Browns defense. The role Jefferson had enjoyed the past couple of weeks (D’Andre Swift’s backup) has been taken back by the likely returning Jamaal Williams so his status is not DFS relevant for this week.

DET QB Jared Goff and RB Jermar Jefferson once again were not seen practicing Thursday ahead of the Lions matchup against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Tim Boyle will see the starter reps at practice and this opens the door for him to draw the start this weekend. If Boyle gets the start the already poor Lions offense will take another hit and will likely be less efficient. At this point, the only players that are DFS relevant are D’Andre Swift and T.J. Hockenson who will both have their expected production lowered if Goff is unable to suit up. It will probably be best to avoid any and all Detroit Lions this week regardless of who plays quarterback as they draw a tough matchup against the Browns defense. The role Jefferson had enjoyed the past couple of weeks (D'Andre Swift's backup) has been taken back by the returning Jamaal Williams so his status is not DFS relevant for this week.

Jemar Jefferson, KhaDarel Hodge, and Tom Kennedy will all be inactive for the Lions when they face the San Francisco 49ers. The running game should be handled by both Jamaal Williams and D'Andre Swift. The top passing options for the Lions should be Tyrell Williams and T.J. Hockenson.
