The Detroit Lions face the challenge of bouncing back from a disappointing playoff exit, where they were overwhelmed by the Washington Commanders. The team's defensive woes, exacerbated by injuries, saw them concede 45 points in that game. With most of their key fantasy assets returning, the Lions now have to adjust to the absence of two pivotal figures: former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who became the head coach of the Chicago Bears, and the unexpected retirement of long-time center Frank Ragnow.

To fill the void, the Lions have brought in former Jets offensive coordinator John Morton, while potential replacements for Ragnow include Georgia product Tate Ratledge or veteran Graham Glasgow. Although the Lions still have standout tackle Penei Sewell, their offensive line is now seen as weaker on paper than it was in Dan Campbell's inaugural season. How the Lions adapt to these changes will significantly impact their fantasy relevance this upcoming season.
