TeSlaa caught 16 of 27 targets for 239 yards and six touchdowns over 17 contests during the regular season.

EDGE Analysis

TeSlaa wasn't used often in his rookie campaign, but when he was, he was finding the end zone at an impressive clip. The wide receiver finished third on the team at his position in receiving touchdowns behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (11) and Jameson Williams (seven), with four of his scores coming in Detroit's final six games of the year. TeSlaa's 6-foot-4 frame and impressive contested-catch ability make him a valuable red-zone asset, and he'll look to carve out an every-down role for himself in his second season with the Lions.

TeSlaa caught three of four targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 23-10 loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

TeSlaa was able to reach pay dirt for the second straight game and fourth time in five contests, securing a four-yard score in the second quarter. The wide receiver now has reeled in 15 of 26 targets for 221 yards and six touchdowns over 16 contests in his rookie campaign. TeSlaa appears to be a significant red-zone threat at the professional level, and he'll be a guy to keep an eye on in 2026.

TeSlaa caught four of seven targets for 52 yards and one touchdown in the Lions' 29-24 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

TeSlaa entered Week 16 having seen 15 targets all season, so seven easily marked a new single-game high for the rookie wideout. His seven targets were fourth on the team on a day Jared Goff dropped back to pass 57 times with the Lions in comeback mode much of the afternoon. TeSlaa now has a touchdown in three of the last four games but will be difficult to get behind as a fantasy starter on Christmas Day against the Vikings.

TeSlaa failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams.

EDGE Analysis

TeSlaa maintained his edge as the team's No. 3 wide receiver in Week 15, playing 39 offensive snaps to Kalif Raymond's 11, but the rookie went without a catch for the third time in five games. The wideout found the end zone in each of the last two games entering Sunday, both of which were with Raymond sidelined by an ankle injury, but TeSlaa's streak was snapped against Los Angeles. TeSlaa has shown great potential in Detroit's offense during his rookie campaign, but he's been limited to eight catches on 15 targets while scoring four touchdowns over 14 contests.

TeSlaa caught two of three targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in Thursday night's 44-30 win over the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

TeSlaa was slated to operate in a more significant role with Amon-Ra St. Brown expected to sit with an ankle injury, but St. Brown was ultimately able to play, securing six passes for 92 yards in the contest. TeSlaa still was able to provide fantasy managers with a solid performance, reeling in a 12-yard touchdown pass from Jared Goff in the third quarter. The wideout has now caught four of five targets for 55 yards and two scores over the last two weeks.

TeSlaa caught both of his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie had all but disappeared from the game plan, catching just one of four targets for 11 yards over the previous seven games, but TeSlaa got a golden opportunity when Amon-Ra St. Brown left the Thanksgiving game in the first quarter with an ankle injury and didn't return. TeSlaa took advantage, hauling in a 17-yard TD from Jared Goff in the third quarter for his third score of the season on only six receptions. Per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, coach Dan Campbell suggested after the loss that St. Brown would likely miss a game or two, and with tight end Sam LaPorta (back) and veteran wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle) already on the shelf, TeSlaa could find himself working as Detroit's WR2 behind Jameson Williams in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

TeSlaa (hand) is active for Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup against Green Bay.

EDGE Analysis

TeSlaa emerged with a hand injury on Monday's estimated practice report, and he was deemed limited throughout the week. He's ultimately going to be able to play and could be in store for a significant number of offensive snaps with fellow WR Kalif Raymond (ankle) ruled out, per Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site. The Lions' top two tight ends -- Sam LaPorta (back - IR) and Brock Wright (neck) -- also are missing Week 13, which boosts TeSlaa's outlook even more.

TeSlaa (hand) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Green Bay, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With No. 3 receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) ruled out and TE Sam LaPorta (back) still on injured reserve, TeSlaa has an opportunity for a lot of playing time if he avoids the inactive list Thursday morning. Detroit listed TeSlaa as a limited practice participant Monday through Wednesday, with no mention of the oblique injury that had him on injury reports the previous two weeks.

TeSlaa (hand) was again listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.

EDGE Analysis

After battling an oblique issue recently, TeSlaa now has a hand injury. With Kalif Raymond (ankle) posting back-to-back DNPs Monday and Tuesday, TeSlaa could potentially see more snaps Thursday against the Bears. The preseason standout has just four catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns across 11 games this season.

TeSlaa (hand) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's walk-through practice.

EDGE Analysis

TeSlaa has played through an oblique injury during Detroit's last two games, but he's now managing just a hand issue in the wake of Sunday's overtime win over the Giants. The rookie third-round pick has drawn exactly one target in each of his last three appearances, though he's only logged one catch for 11 yards in that span. If Kalif Raymond (ankle) is unable to suit up versus the Packers on Thursday, however, TeSlaa will stand to benefit from increased opportunities, health permitting.
