Ansah highlights Lions' offseason: Defensively, the Lions' biggest move was selecting BYU pass rusher Ezekiel Ansah with a first-round pick in April. He was one of four rookie defenders taken by the team and should be one of at least three new starters on the Lions defense along with defensive end Jason Jones and safety Glover Quin. Fellow rookie cornerback Darius Slay might also start.

Detroit needed to field a pass rush somehow and Ansah was a good way to start it up. The depth along the D-line is still an issue, and Ansah's lack of experience could also lead to some struggles. This alone makes the Lions DST a suspect option on Draft Day since pressuring the quarterback is a pretty big deal. If they can't do it, they'll give up a ton of points and ultimately end up in a bunch of high-scoring games. The Lions begin the season against the Vikings, Cardinals and Redskins, not a murderer's row of offensive production but certainly some challenges. We wouldn't draft the Lions DST but would consider them off waivers as a one-week replacement.
(Updated 5/6/13). |
| A year ago the Lions DST appeared as one of the most promising options in Fantasy. Now, they'll give you a stomach ache. The unit totaled 34 sacks, 11 interceptions and zero touchdowns in 2012, producing 10 or more Fantasy points just four times. They were particularly mediocre vs. the run (1,889 yards and 13 touchdowns allowed) and the pass (3,569 yards, 26 touchdowns) but allowed on average 27.3 points per game and that helped lead to their downfall. They addressed the pass rush by selecting Ezekiel Ansah with their first-round pick and also picked up versatile lineman Jason Jones from the Titans. But until it's proven that those two additions will bring the heat, no one should count on the Lions DST in 2013 even with a fairly decent opening schedule (vs. the Vikings, at the Cardinals, at the Redskins).
