AJ Green among the league's best from the slot (9. Golden Tate: Despite being in his ninth season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate is still producing for quarterback Matthew Stafford. He has 33 receptions through five weeks, along with 431 yards and three touchdowns, and doesn't appear to be slowing down at all. Tate may not be the biggest receiver around, but he has the skillset to excel in the slot. He scored a big touchdown against the Cowboys in week four when he lined up inside, beat Jourdan Lewis with a wicked double move, and then danced around Jeff Heath to reach open real estate. Of course, this being Tate, he finished by high stepping most of the way to the end zone. This 45-yard touchdown accounted for a decent portion of his slot total, helping Tate reach 305 yards from the inside. It also showed why he is higher on the list with 159 yards coming after the catch.): https://247sports.com/nfl/cincinnati-bengals/ContentGallery/AJ-Green-slot-receiver-Bengals-123148422/#123148422_9

Top 10 trade candidates: McCoy, Ray on the move? (9. Ameer Abdullah, running back, Detroit Lions: If interested teams strike out on Coleman, they may consider Abdullah as a consolation prize. Now that rookie Kerryon Johnson and veteran LeGarrette Blount are entrenched as the top backs on the depth chart, Abdullah is an afterthought in coordinator Jim Bob Cooter's weekly game plans. Yet to see a carry this season, the former second-round pick was a healthy scratch for the entire month of September. As a 2019 free agent, he's not long for Detroit.): http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000972436/article/top-10-trade-candidates-the-leveon-bell-conundrum
2018 NFL rookie rankings through Week 5 (8. DA’SHAWN HAND, DI, DETROIT LIONS (PFF Overall Grade: 85.2): Hand ranks 13th among all interior defenders this season in terms of overall grade, and he’s been consistently great for the Lions’ defensive line, earning grades of at least 77.0 in four of five games so far.

Lang, 72.1; Right Tackle: Rick Wagner, 76.7): When you pay big money for a free-agent, you hope to be rewarded like the Lions have been with Ricky Wagner. His 2017 season out-graded his last year in Baltimore, and now his 2018 has been even better.
