I'd like them to use Powell. See what he can do in a losing season.

Worth a shot, nothing to lose at this point. Still see Ellington getting most of the snaps out of the slot

Pretty sure Powell is banged up too...

Damn. I see Teo Redding was just signed to the Packers practice squad. Wonder if the Lions would go snag him. Seemed like some thought highly of him during the preseason

So I realize Johnson is banged up right now, but why aren't we transitioning Riddick to a more fulltime WR role? We need a slot receiver with Tate gone? Riddick. He's never been much of a runner anyway.

They are using Ellington in the slot. Decent game against Carolina.

Thatd mean Riddick would actually be covered by corners. What makes you think Riddick succeeds in the slot with his blazing 4.7 speed?

I actually feel Ellington was a good replacement for Tate given how late in the season it was. He's been solid

Since joining the Lions in 2016, WR Marvin Jones Jr. (@MarvinJonesJr) is 1-of-2 players in the NFL to average at least 16.0 yds./rec. on 150+ receptions (Colts WR Ty Hilton is the other).

He also has 4 games of 100+ yds. & 2 TDs since 2016, the 3rd-most in the NFL.

After a down season, people forget Marvin is only a season removed from being a Top-3 deep threat in the league. Bevell?s Offense suits him very well.
