  • Sees dip in playing time

    Amendola caught one of four passes for 18 yards during Sunday's 26-23 win over Arizona.

    Analysis: After comfortably seeing at least 50 percent of the snaps in every game he's been healthy for Detroit the past two seasons, Amendola fell to 45 percent Sunday. While the return of Kenny Golladay played a role in that, Detroit also attempted to control the clock by pounding the rock with Adrian Peterson in formations that frequently used just two receivers, where Amendola was the odd man out behind Golladay and Marvin Jones. Depending on how the Lions approach their Week 4 matchup with New…read more

  • Seeing more passes without Golladay

    Amendola caught two of seven targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 42-21 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) again out of commission, Amendola saw more targets than his career per-game average. However, outside of a solid, chain-moving catch on third-and-10, Amendola didn't make nearly as big of an impact as he did in the season opener, though Matthew Stafford did blow a chance to hit a wide-open Amendola down the right sideline at one point. It seems Golladay has a chance to return Week 3 against the Cardinals, which may be a net positive for Amendola even if it costs…read more

  • Leads team in receiving

    Amendola caught five of seven targets for 81 yards during Sunday's 27-23 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: With more passes to go around in the absence of Kenny Golladay (hamstring), Amendola wound up pacing the team in catches and receiving yards despite finishing third in targets behind Quintez Cephus (10) and Marvin Jones (eight). While Amendola can't usually be counted on for this kind of production on a weekly basis after averaging 4.1 receptions and 45.2 receiving yards per game last season, he'll play a bigger role on days when Golladay or Jones aren't available. It's not clear if Golladay…read more

  • Active for season opener

    Amendola (hamstring) is active for Sunday's season opener against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Amendola was not listed among the Lions' inactives, which clears the way for him to take the field in Week 1. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) inactive for the opener, Amendola could see a few extra targets.

  • Questionable for Week 1

    Amendola (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Analysis: With Kenny Golladay doubtful due to his own hamstring injury, there's an opportunity for Amendola to see some extra targets if he's able to play. The veteran slot receiver was a limited practice participant throughout the week, potentially setting up a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. Quintez Cephus and Marvin Hall are the Lions' main depth options at wide receiver, though return specialist Jamal Agnew could also take some snaps if needed.

  • Limited practice showing

    Amendola (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: After matching his activity from Wednesday's session, Amendola will likely need a full showing in Friday's practice to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Bears. Amendola is projected to serve as Detroit's starting slot receiver after totaling 62 receptions for 678 yards and a touchdown in his first season with the Lions in 2019.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Amendola was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

    Analysis: Amendola looked to be at full health during training camp, so there's not yet any reason for concern about his Week 1 availability. The veteran slot man will have two more chances to put forth a full practice session ahead of Sunday's divisional contest against Chicago. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) also limited to begin the week, however, there's a chance that Quintez Cephus and Marvin Hall could see early opportunities for work at receiver.

  • Officially re-ups with Lions

    Amendola agreed Wednesday with the Lions on a one-year, $5 million contract extension, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Amendola's extension includes $4.5 million guaranteed and carries a maximum value of $6 million when incentives are included. The 34-year-old recorded 62 catches for 678 yards and one touchdown across 15 regular-season games with Detroit last season, and he stands to once again provide the team with consistency in the slot. In 2019, Amendola quietly had seven games with eight or more targets.

  • To re-sign with Lions

    Amendola will re-sign with the Lions on a one-year deal, Peter Schrager of Good Morning Football reports.

    Analysis: Amendola hauled in 62 passes for 678 yards and one touchdown in 15 games for the Lions last season. The 34-year-old will be entering his 12th season in 2020 and second in Detroit. He figures to once again help out in the slot.

  • Throws touchdown pass

    Amendola caught two of four targets for 16 yards and completed his one pass attempt for a 19-yard touchdown during Sunday's 23-20 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Amendola played a big role in the Lions' first-half surge by faking an end-around run and finding quarterback David Blough for a wide-open touchdown on a trick play in the first quarter. However, the veteran also committed an egregious 15-yard penalty in the fourth frame by hitting a defenseless player on the sidelines after a play had ended, which helped propel a Packers' comeback attempt that ended with a walk-off field goal in the closing seconds of the game. This was a disappointing end to…read more

  • No. 2 receiver on quiet passing day

    Amendola caught two of three targets for 21 receiving yards during Sunday's 27-17 loss to Denver.

    Analysis: A week after racking up eight catches for 102 yards on 13 targets against Tampa Bay, Amendola finished second among Detroit receivers in yardage against the Broncos. Unfortunately for those with vested interest in Amendola's fantasy stock, he was the second-leading receiver on an afternoon in which the Lions managed just 117 yards through the air. Amendola is still averaging eight targets per game over his past four outings in spite of his quiet afternoon Sunday, but he carries a 13-game…read more

  • Stellar day in loss

    Amendola brought in eight of 13 targets for 102 yards in the Lions' 38-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: With Marvin Jones (IR, ankle) and Marvin Hall (IR, foot) unavailable, Amendola took center stage with coverage tilting heavily toward Kenny Golladay. The veteran possession receiver narrowly missed a touchdown, but he still comfortably paced the team in receptions and receiving yards for the afternoon. Amendola also tied his season high in receptions while posting his third 100-yard effort of the campaign overall, and he could be primed for another heavy workload in a Week 16 interconference…read more

  • Co-leader in targets

    Amendola caught five of eight targets for 34 yards during Sunday's 20-7 loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: After seeing eight targets from David Blough last Sunday while tight end T.J. Hockenson (ankle) saw 11, Amendola wasn't among the teammates to benefit from Hockenson's placement on injured reserve this past week. Instead, Kenny Golladay (eight targets) and Marvin Jones (seven) were the ones to see a bump. In any case, there's no question that there are more targets up for grabs in Hockenson's absence, and it's possible Amendola could be the one to benefit as soon as Detroit's Week 15 game…read more

  • Draws eight targets from new QB

    Amendola caught three of eight targets for 32 yards during Thursday's 24-20 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: Despite a change at quarterback from Jeff Driskel (hamstring) to third stringer David Blough, Amendola essentially matched the 32.3 receiving yards per game he had averaged in three contests with Driskel at the helm. However, Amendola easily could have done better had he been able to bring in a perfect over-the-shoulder pass that Blough tossed to him in the final minutes of the game. While a bigger outing wasn't meant to be, Amendola investors can at least take solace in the fact he saw as many…read more

  • Another quiet game

    Amendola caught all three of his targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 19-16 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Yet again a distant third in playing time among Lions receivers behind Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones, Amendola is now averaging 5.7 targets, 3.7 receptions and 32.3 receiving yards through three games with backup quarterback Jeff Driskel. It's hard to be optimistic about him Week 12 with Matthew Stafford (back) unlikely to return for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the Bears.

  • Team leader in receiving yards

    Amendola caught four of five targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 35-27 loss to Dallas.

    Analysis: The Lions offense was more competitive than most thought they'd be, and Amendola ultimately was its leading receiver despite being in a three-way tie for the team lead in targets. However, as Marvin Jones showed Sunday with two trips to the end zone, receivers playing with Jeff Driskel are probably reliant on touchdowns in order to be of fantasy value. Until Matthew Stafford (back) is able to play again, it'll be hard to trust Amendola to produce even in seemingly soft matchups, like the one…read more

  • Unable to rebound with backup QB

    Amendola caught four of eight targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to Chicago.

    Analysis: The unexpected absence of starting quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) likely doomed Amendola's fantasy potential from the jump. While it can be argued that he should've had even more targets given how often he seemed to get open, Jeff Driskel's accuracy woes hardly allowed Amendola to produce anyway. If there's a bright side to Driskel potentially starting another game Week 11 against Dallas, it's that he targeted Amendola more than Stafford did (6.3 targets per game) on average. Also, it…read more

  • Production dips

    Amendola caught three of five targets for 29 yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss to Oakland.

    Analysis: Amendola was once again in the starting lineup but yet again saw less playing time (43 snaps) than Marvin Jones (63) and Kenny Golladay (58). After collecting 16 of 19 passes for 200 yards over the previous two games, Sunday was evidence for even the most optimistic Amendola supporters that the veteran's early-season chest injury can't totally be to blame for the veteran's concurrent downturn in production in Weeks 2 through 6, a disappointing stretch that made it confusing as to whether…read more
