NFL wide receiver corps rankings ahead of Week 8 (14. DETROIT LIONS (UP 4) - WR1: Amon-Ra St. Brown (78.2), WR2: Josh Reynolds (71.8), WR3: D.J. Chark Jr. (61.1).  The Lions' receivers have been really good this season when on the field. That’s been a bit of a problem, though, as St. Brown, Reynolds and Chark have all missed time. This group is talented and should be even better when Jameson Williams joins them at some point in the season.  When healthy, St. Brown is among the most dangerous slot receivers in the league. He’s been a bit banged up over the past few games, but don’t forget that he was averaging 84 yards and a touchdown across the first three games of the season.  PFF stats to know:  Lions quarterbacks have a 114.1 passer rating when targeting Amon-Ra St. Brown.  16 of Josh Reynolds’ 24 receptions have gone for first downs.  D.J. Chark Jr.’s average depth of target is 18.4 yards, the highest among all receivers in the NFL.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-wide-receiver-corps-rankings-week-8-2022 

NFL QB Index, Week 8: Patrick Mahomes back in the No. 1 spot; Daniel Jones climbing toward top 10 (19.  Jared Goff (2022 stats: 6 games | 62.3 pct | 1,583 pass yds | 7.5 ypa | 11 pass TD | 6 INT | 27 rush yds | 0 rush TD | 4 fumbles):  A once-plucky Lions offense has withered up to the tune of six points over their last eight quarters. Goff has melted into mush during the slump, handing the ball to Dallas four times on Sunday with a pair of picks and two lost fumbles. After a sunny first month to the season, the milquetoast veteran has giftwrapped six giveaways and birthed zero touchdowns since Week 5 while helming a Detroit vessel slowly sinking into the mire.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-index-week-8-2022-season-rankings

QB Power Rankings, Week 8: Fields among biggest risers (25.  Jared Goff:  Remember when he was lighting up the stat sheet as the Lions played catch-up earlier this year? Good times. Now, Detroit suddenly and increasingly looks like one of the top candidates to pursue a true face of the franchise come 2023.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/2022-nfl-qb-power-rankings-bears-justin-fields-seahawks-geno-smith-among-biggest-risers-entering-week-8/

OL Power Rankings 2022: Eagles, Browns, Chiefs Boast League’s Best Lines (5. Detroit Lions:  Injuries have destroyed Detroit’s interior and left them with a consistent weak link at right guard. But the Lions have above-average talent everywhere else. Right tackle Penei Sewell has lived up to his top-10 draft status and then some.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/ol-power-rankings-2022/
