2023 NFL Offensive Player Rankings, Week 11: Russell Wilson, Brandon Aiyuk among 10 Pro Bowl sleepers (David Montgomery Detroit Lions · RB:  The Lions hold the second-best record in the NFC, and David Montgomery has been instrumental in that success when healthy. In his six games played, the veteran has rushed for 100 yards in three contests and scored in every game but one. With seven rushing touchdowns through 10 weeks -- including an impressive 75-yard run in Sunday’s road win over the Chargers -- Montgomery is one away from matching his career high for an entire season. The reason I'm considering him a sleeper, though, is because the bulldozing running back isn’t a dual-threat playmaker like his teammate Jahmyr Gibbs or other top Pro Bowl candidates at the position (SEE: Christian McCaffrey and Bijan Robinson). That could prompt many to overlook him, but I certainly won't be underestimating his impact on this year’s Lions team.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/2023-nfl-offensive-player-rankings-week-11-russell-wilson-brandon-aiyuk-among-10

Ranking all first-round 2023 draft picks after 10 weeks (7. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Lions Jahmyr Gibbs:  Detroit was hesitant to use Gibbs early in the season but his capabilities have been on display any time David Montgomery has been unavailable. The No. 12 overall selection is averaging 5.3 yards per carry but has been even more impressive in the pass game.  25. Jack Campbell, LB, Lions:  Two of Campbell's highest snap shares have come in the past three games. Coverage has been a bit of an adventure but the linebacker has been effective in the box.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-every-2023-nfl-draft-first-round-pick-after-10-weeks-eagles-patriots-vikings-represented-in-top-10/


NFL QB Rankings, Week 11: Stats say to trust Brock Purdy and Josh Allen, which, no.  (Capable of playoff runs, surprising and not - 8. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions: 0.126.  LOOK AT ALL THE REVIVALS! Jared Goff was given away by the Rams. Baker Mayfield was 2022’s worst quarterback. Russell Wilson was hot garbage in his first season as a Bronco. CJ Stroud is a rookie and Justin Herbert and Lamar Jackson were both merely “OK” last season. This year they’re all in command of potential playoff teams. Very cool.):  https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-qb-rankings-week-11-stats-brock-purdy-josh-allen-mvp
