What It Means:

Amendola missed Week 4's game against the Kansas City Chiefs with a chest issue, but with the Lions on bye last week, the veteran pass catcher has had three weeks to recover since his last game action. The Lions are a somewhat surprising 2-1-1 on the year, a miracle two-minute drill from Patrick Mahomes away from an undefeated start to the season. All signs point to Amendola making a return this week in a divisional matchup against the Packers, but keep an eye on his status at practice on Friday.

Our models project Amendola for 3.5 catches, 35.8 yards, 0.2 touchdowns and 6.3 FanDuel points.
