Detroit Lions confident in shaky replacement option for Taylor Decker | Sporting News

Detroit Lions confident in shaky replacement option for Taylor Decker | Sporting News

Detroit faces a Week 2 test vs Chicago after a rough opener in Green Bay. Left tackle Taylor Decker is questionable with a shoulder injury, creating a potential first NFL start for Giovanni Manu if Decker sits. Week 1 exposed protection issues (four sacks, nine tackles for loss; Decker graded 55.2 by PFF). The Lions must balance health with performance as they chase a division win.

With Decker potentially out, should fantasy managers target Giovanni Manu as a plug-in LT in Week 2?How much could Bears’ pass rush exploit the Lions if Manu starts?What is Decker’s likely timeline and how does it affect the Lions’ Week 2 risk-reward?Which Lions players gain fantasy value if Decker’s injury lingers into Week 2?
