Isaac TeSlaa - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Goes for 66 yards in Week 3 win TeSlaa caught all three of his targets for 66 yards in the Lions' 31-24 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Impact Detroit's third receiver, TeSlaa played 48 percent of the offensive snaps against New York but made the most of his opportunities and ended up leading the team in receiving yards. With Jameson Williams continuing to struggle to get going early in the season, TeSlaa could start earning a couple more looks from Jared Goff. It's still unlikely to be enough to put TeSlaa in the redraft fantasy mix unless one of Williams or Amon-Ra St. Brown misses time with an injury.

Logs first catches of 2026 TeSlaa caught two passes on five targets for 26 yards during the Lions' 41-31 loss to the Bills on Thursday.

Impact TeSlaa did not record a catch during the Lions' Week 1 overtime win over the Saints, but the second-year pro hauled in his first pass from Jared Goff on the season with a six-yard reception early in the third quarter before the duo connected on a 20-yard pass in the fourth. TeSlaa played 49 of the Lions' 65 offensive snaps in Thursday's loss, but he's clearly below Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, tight end Sam LaPorta and running back Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit's pecking order. Courtesy of their TNF showdown, the Lions will have additional rest before a Week 3 home tilt against the Jets on Sunday, Sept. 27.

Goes catchless versus Saints TeSlaa failed to haul in his only target during the Detroit's overtime win over the Saints on Sunday.

Impact TesLaa played 55 of the team's 77 offensive snaps but was still the only Lions player who didn't record any receptions, among those who were targeted. The 2025 third-round pick had a promising rookie campaign, catching 16 passes for 239 yards and six touchdowns despite limited usage, however he is coming off a disappointing training camp. TesLaaa will look to improve upon his performance during the Week 2 matchup against the Bills.

Disappoints during second training camp TeSlaa will enter the season as the Lions' No. 3 receiver, despite a poor showing during training camp and going without a reception on three targets over 44 snaps during his two p...

Impact TeSlaa operated primarily as the Lions' No. 4 receiver during his 2025 rookie campaign, appearing in all 17 games and finishing with a 16-239-6 receiving line on 27 targets. Even on the limited volume of targets, the 6-foot-4, 214-pound wideout made a number of highlight-reel grabs during his first NFL season, but he hasn't shown the same ability to win on contested balls during his second training camp. He also made a couple of critical blunders in the Lions' preseason-opening loss to the Bengals, dropping a pass that led to an interception and failing to reel in another catchable target on a fourth-down pass. Montgomery noted that getting more exposure to facing No. 1 cornerbacks in both camp and the preseason has likely played a part in TeSlaa's lack of output, but the Lions apparently saw enough growth from him beyond his box-score contributions to hand him the No. 3 job and keeping just four total receivers on the 53-man roster heading into Week 1. TeSlaa will still face a difficult path to fantasy relevance as the fifth option in the Detroit passing game when all of Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs and Sam LaPorta (hip) are available.

Impact TeSlaa couldn't get on the same page with quarterbacks Luke Altmyer and Joshua Dobbs as the Lions rested key starters, including Jared Goff. Detroit's 2025 third-round pick will likely continue to get opportunities in the preseason as TeSlaa tries to nail down the third spot on Detroit's wide receiver depth chart behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. The Lions' second preseason game will be Aug. 22 against Washington.
