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
Eight carries in blowout win
Reynolds rushed the ball eight times for 39 yards while failing to reel in either of his targets in Sunday night's 31-9 win over the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Reynolds continued in his role as the top backup at running back behind Jahmyr Gibbs in Week 18, turning eight carries into a season-high 39 yards on the ground. With the victory, the Lions secured a bye week to open the postseason, and it's possible that David Montgomery (knee) will be able to return to action in two weeks when Detroit plays in the NFC divisional round, which would push Reynolds back to No. 3 on the depth chart. Reynolds finished the 2024 regular season with 139 rushing yards on 31 carries while catching three of five targets for 40 yards over 17 games.

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.
