Detroit Lions - Team Notes

Lions inactives: OL Corey Robinson, CB Teez Tabor, RB Zach Zenner, OT Storm Norton, OL Zac Kerin, RB Tion Green, WR Jared Abbrederis.

Kenny Golladay is active for the Lions. Was questionable this week, but should be good to go. Be wary in fantasy, though. TJ Jones might get a good amount of No. 3 WR reps ahead of him.

A couple of IDPs to consider adding: Ezekiel Ansah (11.8 percent owned): He's active for the Lions, and averaged 4.9 fantasy points per game in the second half of 2016 using our rankings' scoring system. Haason Reddick (3.0 percent owned): With Deone Bucannon inactive, Reddick should see an uptick in snaps played.

Both TJ Jones and Kenny Golladay are getting first-team work as the No. 3 WR in warmups. As mentioned before, they are both going to play. Golladay might get more red zone work (but that could be 2 WR and Eric Ebron, too) but I would avoid both Jones and Golladay in fantasy today.

Lions have a moment of silence for victims of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma prior to national anthem.

Matthew Stafford's pick six throw looked like it came on a timing route with Golden Tate that was off. Tate got held up crossing the middle of the field, leading to an easy pick. Tate appeared frustrated by the contact -- but within five yards.

Matthew Stafford's first pass of the season (and first pass since signing his record deal) results in a pick-6. Stafford threw one pick-6 all of last season (Week 14 vs Bears).

Rookie Jamal Agnew getting the first punt return. Decent return, too. He won the overall battle with a bunch of candidates.

Lions punter Kasey Redfern, after taking a huge hit on the botched punt run, getting looked at by trainers on sideline.

One of the biggest issues with Dwayne Washington has been decision making. Just made a terrible one taking ball out of end zone on kick return he bobbled.

Lions P Kasey Redfern questionable with a knee injury.

Carson Palmer's third interception of the game was overturned. Referee Walt Anderson said the ball hit the ground.

Matt Prater's 32-yard punt was his first-ever punt in a regular season game. Form was OK for not being primary position.

Glover Quin picks off Carson Palmer on a bad overthrow. Second pick of the day for the Lions. Also means a $5,000 donation from Quin to Hurricane Harvey relief in Houston and Richmond, Texas.

Golden Tate has seven catches for 72 yards. No other Lions receiver has more than 14 yards. And now Tate is getting his left hand taped up. broken finger.

Golden Tate is back on the field after hurting his finger earlier in the game.

Lions coach Jim Caldwell called P Kasey Redfern's knee injury "significant." Lions, no doubt, will add a new punter this week.
 
The Lions are now 6-1 in season openers since 2011, tops in the NFL.
And 18-7 at home under Jim Caldwell.
