2025 Fantasy Outlook
TeSlaa was a surprise third-round pick in April, going 70th overall after putting up just 896 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 25 games at Arkansas over the past two years. He's on the old side for his draft class, having turned 23 in February, but the Lions apparently think his raw athleticism may eventually amount to something. TeSlaa boosted his draft stock considerably at the 2025 Combine, running a 4.43 40 at 6-foot-4, 214, while ranking first among WRs in the shuttle drill (4.05 seconds), fourth in the vertical jump (39.5 inch) and sixth in the broad jump (129 inches). He then scored three touchdowns in the preseason, which seemingly played a role in the Lions trading away incumbent No. 3 receiver Tim Patrick at the end of August. It'll be tough to take routes and targets away from Amon Ra-St. Brown and Jameson Williams, but TeSlaa at least looks on track for the No. 3 gig. Read Past Outlooks

Climbs depth chart
TeSlaa's strong performance in training camp and the preseason contributed to Detroit's decision to trade Tim Patrick to the Jaguars in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Lions coach Dan Campbell said after the Lions' preseason finale 26-7 loss to Houston, in which TeSlaa caught both his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown, that the 2025 third-round pick is "going to have some growing pains" but that "we're very pleased with where he's at after six weeks of camp" and "if you took most receivers, he'd be in the upper echelon of those, as far as development" at this stage of his rookie season. Patrick operated as the No. 3 receiver for Detroit much of last season, and his departure now leaves that role up immediately for grabs between TeSlaa and Kalif Raymond.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Year 1 breakout possible
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com includes TeSlaa on his list of non-first-round rookies that could make an impact in 2025.
ANALYSIS
The third-round pick was considered a bit of a surprise selection at No. 70 overall, but all TeSlaa has done so far is validate the Lions' decision. Brooks points out the 6-foot-4 wideout is already a polished route runner, and TeSlaa's 10-146-3 receiving line this preseason was generated at the expense of several defenders left in his wake by his 4.43 speed.
