Isaac TeSlaa Remains a Risky Start in Week 12
With Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve due to a back injury, there's an opportunity for rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (oblique) to step up as a more consistent target-earner in Detroit. However, TeSlaa recorded zero catches on one target in the Lions' first game without LaPorta, a Week 11 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. TeSlaa has not earned more than one target in a game since Week 3 and has hauled in just four catches for the entire season. Additionally, he remains behind Kalif Raymond on his team's wide receiver depth chart and has played 18 fewer offensive snaps than Raymond in each of the last two weeks. TeSlaa is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 12 due to an oblique injury, but he played through the same injury in Week 11. The Lions have a favorable matchup on paper in Week 12 against the New York Giants, who have allowed the sixth-most passing yards (2,641) in the NFL through 11 weeks. Still, TeSlaa remains an unreliable option for fantasy managers until he proves to be a more consistent part of the Detroit passing game.
