2024 Fantasy Outlook
Reynolds has become a reliable depth option in the Lions' backfield. He scored his first career touchdown in Week 5 last year, but his role on offense evaporated after the team's bye as Jahmyr Gibbs began to assert himself and David Montgomery stayed healthy. That duo should dominate the snaps and touches for Detroit, but Reynolds' versatile skill set makes him the next man up if either main back breaks down, and he has some big-play potential of his own. Despite limited touches the last three years, Reynolds has six gains of 20-plus yards. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
In line for more carries
With David Montgomery (knee) out multiple weeks, Reynolds is expected to see an expanded role on offense Sunday against the Bears, Jared Ramsey of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
As Ramsey notes, Reynolds played behind Jahmyr Gibbs in a game against the Raiders last season when Montgomery was sidelined and rushed 14 times for 74 yards. Montgomery and Gibbs have stayed relatively healthy this season prior to Montgomery's MCL injury last week versus Buffalo, and Reynolds has mainly been glued to special teams while handling garbage-time carries on offense. Reynolds has compiled a 12-51-0 rushing line on 39 offensive snaps all year. While Gibbs should be a candidate for 20-plus touches versus Chicago, Reynolds also may be involved and could even see double-digit carries. Rookie Sione Vaki also is in the mix for playing time, but Reynolds has operated as the RB3 much of the season. Reynolds is worth picking up in deeper fantasy leagues.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Unless Detroit re-signs Justin Jackson, it looks like Reynolds will get another crack at holding down the No. 3 spot on the running back depth chart. However, the modest promotion may be neutralized by the Lions' decision to spend significant resources to upgrade both RB1 and RB2 this offseason. Accordingly, Reynolds now finds himself behind a well-paid David Montgomery and first-round pick Jahmyr Gibbs. Given these investments - plus the likelihood that Montgomery and Gibbs are less injury-prone than the departed D'Andre Swift - Reynolds can't expect any more than the handful of carries he received when spelling Swift and Jamaal Williams over the past two years.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Running ahead of Vaki
Reynolds excelled as a pass catcher in training camp Friday, and he's ahead of 2024 fourth-round pick Sione Vaki in the competition for the third spot on Detroit's running back depth chart, according to Justin Rogers of DetroitFootball.net.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds worked with the first-team offense Friday while Jahmyr Gibbs rested with a soft-tissue injury, and Reynolds put on his best Gibbs impression with a pair of touchdown catches in red-zone drills. Vaki, meanwhile, showed some growing pains by running the wrong route on one red-zone rep. Reynolds has put himself in good position to make the 53-man roster, and his performance in training camp suggests h could be thrust into a prominent role working as the pass-catching complement to power runner David Montgomery if Gibbs were to miss any action in the regular season.
