Detroit Lions Depth Chart - Offense
Our offensive NFL depth charts are designed for fantasy football managers looking to understand a player's projected usage and relevance for the upcoming week and rest of season. You can sort/filter/download the table. Snap shares, rush shares, and target shares are Razzball projections. The criteria for 'Starter' varies by position and represents either a high share of snaps or a high share of usage. 'Rotation' is the next tier down and is generally fantasy relevant. The levels under that are 'Backup' (on roster, not fantasy relevant) and 'Depth' (not fantasy relevant). 'Scatback' is an RB that does not qualify as a Starter and whose usage is mostly in pass game and is likely relevant in PPR. A 'Fullback' is not typically fantasy relevant.
