| 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, 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. |
