Summary

Wide Receiver Rank: #64   
Overall: #198


Young started the season a little slow but finished well, having four or more receptions his last four games. He also scored four touchdowns during that stretch. Young had a pretty productive rookie season, catching 48 passes for 607 yards. He was a top red-zone target, catching six touchdown passes. Young didn't have a 100-yard game but had two with 80-plus yards. He started nine of 16 games for the Lions. He'll be given first shot to start opposite Calvin Johnson in 2012. Young is a big-play threat at receiver. He has explosive speed and top moves in the open field. He still needs work on his route running but can turn a short route into a big play or make a big play by just running by defenders. He should become even more polished as his career progresses.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
You have to like his upside in a great passing game. Young can near 1,000 yard and scored eight or so touchdowns this season. Consider him a low-end No. 2 or top No. 3 fantasy receiver for this season.

Notes

Detroit Lions head coach Jim Schwartz said WR Titus Young could compete for the team's kick return and punt return duties this season.

Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said he thinks Titus Young is becoming a matchup problem for opposing defenses because of his speed and ability to make fast cuts. 'He's a dangerous match-up for other teams,' Linehan said. 'To me, he might be the biggest match-up (advantage) we can continue to grow with the way people defend [wide receiver Calvin Johnson]. When he gets on the outside part of the field, he can get behind the defense, and if you have that opposite a player like Calvin, that's really when you got something.'
Fantasy Impact: Young is going to have a much bigger role in the offense in 2012. He really came on late in the season for the Lions.

Detroit Lions WR Titus Young had five receptions for 21 yards and a touchdown in the Week 15 game against the Oakland Raiders. After going without a score in his first seven games, Young has scored four times over the past seven games, including back-to-back games heading into next week.
Fantasy Impact: Young has been more involved in the offense of late and is producing with his chances.

Detroit Lions WR Titus Young caught four passes for 87 yards and one touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact: Young is starting to emerge in this offense. He'll be a top fantasy player in another season or two.

Detroit Lions WR Titus Young had four receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Denver Broncos. He was wide open for his 41-yard score in the first quarter, with no defenders around him for at least 10-15 yards.
Fantasy Impact: Young has a lot of upside and potential in this offense but will be up and down.

Detroit Lions WR Titus Young has just three catches for 28 yards in the team's last three games, part of what he describes as 'rookie struggles.'
Fantasy Impact: We still like his upside in this offense but Young isn't worth using right now.

Detroit Lions WR Titus Young could see a bigger role in the offense in Week 6 because TE Tony Scheffler (concussion) will sit out the game.
Fantasy Impact: Young is getting more chances to begin with, so this is even better news for him. He could be worth a flier as a No. 3 receiver or flex option this week.

Detroit Lions WR Titus Young, who is tied for third among rookie wide receivers with nine catches this year, will be a big part of the offense moving forward, according to head coach Jim Schwartz. 'There's a reason we drafted him so high and had such high expectations,' Schwartz said. 'He's going to make a lot of plays in this offense. He's a young player and still has a ways to go, but he made some really big-time catches. He's not the biggest guy in the world, but he's got really strong hands, and he's fearless going across the middle.'
Fantasy Impact: Young might be worth a flier if you have the roster space. He is certainly talented and seems to be getting more and more work.
