Redraft Take: Expect the Lions to be better in 2022 on both sides of the ball. Jared Goff is a QB2 in Superflex. D’Andre Swift has Top 5-10 RB upside this year in PPR leagues and is a fun Round 2 pick. TJ Hockenson remains a Top 5 TE threat. The WRs are interesting as Amon-Ra St. Brown has added competition for targets with DJ Chark + Jameson Williams. I’m not drafting ASB at his current value for that reason. Chark is an interesting bench option and Jameson Williams could be a nice pick if you are patient, as he likely starts the year on the PUP list. I’m excited about the Lions?
