Detroit Lions

From free agency to the Super Bowl, information is always changing year round for all 32 NFL organizations. From a fantasy football perspective, it’s almost impossible to keep up with all the changes and figure out what those events mean in terms of success or failure for a player or team.

This is why we have our current fantasy football information about each particular team right here in the articles’ section to help you. Feel free to scroll through the various topics and events that we have deemed worth paying attention to from not just a team perspective but fantasy as well.

In the coming months, we will be adding audio to our player and team pages from our new section of the website called fantasy philosophers. This audio information is dedicated to everyone that just wants to hear quick information about their favorite fantasy teams and players.

Since we understand that most people don’t want to sift through articles and full two hour radio shows to find insightful info, specific audio is a quick way to stay updated on current events in the NFL and fantasy football.

It is always nice to have a picture or two of your favorite fantasy players. Here are just a few of our top selected photos (provided by PicApp.com) for the Detroit Lions.

Instead of just giving you current fantasy players from a particular organization, we have also included some of the best players and moments in each teams history. This way you get an idea of not just current events from an organization but where they’ve come from.

Teams with rich history for a curtain side of the football or a curtain position tend to want great players in those areas of their team in the future.

Other organizations are still young or haven’t had much success until this point in time and the best moments in their history are happening right now or in the future. Anyway from Dick Butkus to Barry Sanders we have some of the more memorable moments right here as selected from You Tube.

Before you’re 2010 fantasy football draft begins, it’s always good to see the schedule of particular players you’re prospecting for your future team.

While there is no guaranteeing which teams will be strong and which teams will be weak in a given season, it’s still good to have an idea of the opponents your players will face.

Once the 2010 – 2011 season has started, we will find out which teams are for real and which teams are going to fold up. Who would have thought the Bengals would go undefeated in their division and the Titans would start out losing their first six games in 2009?

Throughout the season, you can always come back to our site and use our schedules for each team and player for your reference. Alternatively, you can also print out or download the schedule as well.

Before The Draft: The Lions could use an offensive lineman or two, but I still think they should grab a defensive tackle in the first round. The additions of Corey Williams (DT) and KVB (DE) are very nice but adding a quality tackle to the mix will make this front line very good right away. First Round:

2. Lions Select: DT Ndamukong Suh - Big move for the Lions as they now have a corner stone defensive player with Suh. With Corey Williams KVB and Suh the Lions now have a very solid defensive front line.

30. Detroit Lions: RB Jahvid Best - The Lions needed a running back as Kevin Smith is recovering from a late season torn acl injury. Best will make for a very good compliment to Stafford and the passing game. Best, Spiller and Mathews are all starters coming into the 2010 season and will be active fantasy players.

Rounds Three – Seven

Round 3, Pick 2 (66) Amari Spievey CB

Round 4, Pick 30 (128) Jason Fox OT

Round 7, Pick 6 (213) Willie Young DE

Round 7, Pick 48 (255) Tim Toone WR

As Matthew Stafford continues his development, Calvin Johnson should be a more reliable fantasy option. That said, Johnson has been injury prone two of his first three NFL seasons, and he needs to have a healthy year for his young quarterback to mature.

This will be a very important season for the Stafford to Johnson connection.
