D’Andre Swift (shoulder) remains the most notable name on the injury report, as he has for the past few weeks, but he appears to be a weekend possibility.
Swift’s poor recent performance suggests he’s still playing with an injury, making him a risky option in Week 11 against the Giants.
Swift was on his way to an elite fantasy season before suffering an injury in Week 12 last season, which you may not have noticed given Detroit’s struggles.
Swift had been on the field for 72% of Detroit’s snaps through 11 weeks, averaging 13.7 carries and 6.7 targets per game.
Swift led the position in targets and receptions, and only four backs scored more fantasy points during the period.
Swift’s durability is a minor concern, as he has missed seven games in the last two seasons, but he’s only 23 years old and is still positioned for a significant offensive role behind one of the league’s top lines.
Swift’s Alvin Kamara-like usage gives him top-five fantasy upside and keeps him in the RB1 conversation.
Detroit Lions
The Lions enter this weekend playing their best football of the season, and with two wins in a row, they’re looking for a way to keep climbing up the NFC standings.
Granted, last week’s game was against the Bears, who are not the most difficult opponents in the league this season, but back-to-back victories in the NFL are nothing to be ashamed of.
One concern is that the Lions will be on the road for the second week in a row, and the Giants will undoubtedly present a much greater challenge than the Bears did.
With the Bills coming up next, any chance of making the playoffs will almost certainly require an upset on Sunday.

New York Giants
On Sunday, the New York Giants will host the Detroit Lions at MetLife Stadium in a crucial NFC matchup.
Lions come in having won two straight and hoping to keep moving closer to the potential playoff picture.
The Giants appear to be gaining ground at the top of the NFC East standings, and with five wins in their last six games, they’ll be looking to keep pace with the Eagles.
The Lions have won two in a row and three of four since 2014, but this Giants team will be far more difficult to beat than any of the previous ones.
