Tough Matchup For Lions D/ST In Week 1
3 months agoThe Detroit Lions defensive/special teams unit struggled last year, allowing the 10th most points in the league. On top of that, the Los Angeles Rams scored the eighth-most points the previous year. With Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams being healthy, the Lions will have a challenging task to slow down the Rams' potent offense. Williams had 1,144 yards on only 228 attempts last year, adding 206 yards through the air, making the second-year running back one of the best in the league last year. The Rams also have a pair of superstar receivers in Kupp and Nacua. Nacua had over 1,486 yards on 105 catches in his rookie season last year. Detroit is ranked 31st among all team defenses in the latest RotoBaller Week 1 DST rankings. With many weapons to worry about all over the field and a lackluster 2023 season, fantasy managers should avoid starting the Lions D/ST and look for another DST streamer for Week 1.
