Ebron caught two of three targets for 39 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 38-24 victory over the Browns.

EDGE Analysis

Ebron took advantage of the league's second-worst pass defense against tight ends (558 yards allowed to the position entering Week 10) to collect his second touchdown of the season. However, he's still only topped two receptions or 40 receiving yards in one game since Week 2 and continues to see modest usage in the offense while splitting reps with Darren Fells. Ebron will remain a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in Week 11 against the Bears.

Ebron caught three passes on four targets for 35 yards during Monday's 30-17 victory over the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Ebron again saw less playing time than Darren Fells and also lost his spot in the starting lineup for the first time all season, according to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com. While this is only one game and not necessarily a permanent change, Ebron has been outperformed by Fells virtually all season, so it wouldn't come as much of a surprise if Fells continues forward atop the depth chart. However, despite a tasty matchup in Week 10 against the Browns -- who've surrendered the second-most yards in the league to tight ends this season (558) -- neither player can be inserted into starting lineups with confidence.

Ebron played only 34 of 71 offensive snaps (48 percent) in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Steelers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ebron had a 44-yard gain and drew a pair of red-zone targets, but his snap share fell below 56 percent for a fourth consecutive week, and he failed to catch more than two passes for a sixth time in seven games. With Darren Feels now playing more snaps than Ebron on a weekly basis, neither tight end can be relied on to catch more than one or two passes in any given game. Feels does have three touchdowns in his past three games, but he only has two other catches during that stretch.

Ebron caught one of three targets for nine yards during Sunday's 52-38 loss to the Saints.

EDGE Analysis

Ebron, who saw less playing time and earned fewer targets than teammate Darren Fells for the third week in a row, hasn't really made any noise in the fantasy realm since his Week 2 performance against the Giants, who've been among the worst teams at defending tight ends all season. With Fells being far more effective as both a pass catcher and as a blocker to date, it's unlikely this situation takes a turn in Ebron's favor anytime soon. Especially with the Lions' bye coming up in Week 7, it's hard to justify rostering Ebron in anything but the deepest of formats.

Ebron secured one of four targets for six yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

The hometown crowd at Ford Field appeared fed up with Ebron's continued problem with drops Sunday as evidenced by the outpour of boos that followed a would-be touchdown reception that went right through the tight end's hands. This wasn't the end of his problems, however, as Ebron technically dropped a second pass on the first play of the fourth quarter, but that play was negated by a Panthers offsides penalty. Making matters worse for the 2014 first-rounder is the fact that teammate Darren Fells outplayed him for a second consecutive week by securing both of his targets for 24 yards and two touchdowns. Furthermore, Fells saw more playing time for the second game in a row. Even with an appealing matchup with a porous Saints secondary in Week 6, it'll be hard to trust Ebron as anything more than a high-upside dart throw.

Ebron caught two of four targets for 27 yards during Sunday's 14-7 victory over the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Thought to be the primary receiving tight end in Detroit going into the game, Ebron seemingly took a backseat to Darren Fells on Sunday and ultimately trailed his teammate in every receiving category when all was said and done. Most concerning is the fact that Ebron only logged 31 offensive snaps compared to Fells' 51. While it's too soon to declare Fells the new top dog, at the same time it will be hard to trust Ebron in anything but deep formats going forward.

Ebron caught two of seven targets for eight yards during Sunday's 30-26 loss to the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

While his usage has trended upwards in each passing week to start this season, Ebron's troubles with drops resurfaced Sunday, as the tight end put two catchable balls on the ground in the fourth quarter while the Lions were mounting a comeback attempt. Drops have been an issue for Ebron since his college days, so the fact he still hasn't shored up that facet of his game is certainly a cause for concern. Fortunately for the North Carolina product, he remains the Lions' best receiving option at tight end and figures to remain apart of the team's offensive gameplan going forward.

Ebron caught all five of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 24-10 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Ebron paced the Lions in all major receiving categories, hauling in everything thrown his way. Admittedly, quarterback Matthew Stafford threw for the second-fewest yards of his career, but Ebron's seven-yard score at least helped him lead the charge.

Ebron caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 35-23 victory over the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Ebron was on the field for 72 percent of the offensive plays, compared to 45 for Darren Fells and eight for rookie Michael Roberts, so his underwhelming production wasn't the result of minimal playing time or a demotion on the depth chart. Rather, Ebron simply appeared to be a secondary target in the passing game fighting for looks behind Golden Tate, Theo Riddick and Kenny Golladay -- each of whom saw at least seven passes sent his way. On the bright side, Ebron could be in store for a bounce back effort in Week 2 against a Giants defense that allowed Cowboys TE Jason Witten to catch seven passes for 59 yards and a score this past weekend.

Ebron (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Lions' injury report Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ebron was bogged down by a hamstring injury throughout training camp and the preseason, resulting in no exhibition appearances. Now uninhibited, he'll take over a gig in the starting lineup, as expected, in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cardinals, who gave up the fewest touchdowns (two) to tight ends in 2016.
