Fantasy Outlook

TeSlaa, a third-round pick, was essentially as advertised during his rookie campaign, scoring six TDs and not doing much else. He also scored three times during the preseason, before entering Week 1 as Detroit's No. 4 receiver and scoring a TD on one of his three snaps in the opener. TeSlaa later got some chances as the No. 3 WR when Kalif Raymond missed time, and in other games the two essentially split snaps. TeSlaa ended up running 290 routes, but his 9.3 percent target rate was second-lowest among wide receivers (Arian Smith - 6.9 percent) and he also finished in the bottom 10 for yards per route run (0.82). Part of that is due to the red-zone focus, and part of it is TeSlaa not offering much besides raw talent. It now appears the Lions want to develop him further -- presumably while his target rate remains low alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. TeSlaa's combination of size (6-foot-4, 214) and speed (4.43 40) never amounted to much in college, but he's at least on to something as an NFL red-zone threat and now faces soft competition for the No. 3 WR job in Detroit (Raymond left to join Ben Johnson in Chicago).
