2025 Fantasy Outlook
TeSlaa was a surprise third-round pick in April, going 70th overall after putting up just 896 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 25 games at Arkansas over the past two years. He's on the old side for his draft class, having turned 23 in February, but the Lions apparently think his raw athleticism may eventually amount to something. TeSlaa boosted his draft stock considerably at the 2025 Combine, running a 4.43 40 at 6-foot-4, 214, while ranking first among WRs in the shuttle drill (4.05 seconds), fourth in the vertical jump (39.5 inch) and sixth in the broad jump (129 inches). He then scored three touchdowns in the preseason, which seemingly played a role in the Lions trading away incumbent No. 3 receiver Tim Patrick at the end of August. It'll be tough to take routes and targets away from Amon Ra-St. Brown and Jameson Williams, but TeSlaa at least looks on track for the No. 3 gig. Read Past Outlooks

Finds end zone on Thanksgiving
TeSlaa caught both of his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.
ANALYSIS
The rookie had all but disappeared from the game plan, catching just one of four targets for 11 yards over the previous seven games, but TeSlaa got a golden opportunity when Amon-Ra St. Brown left the Thanksgiving game in the first quarter with an ankle injury and didn't return. TeSlaa took advantage, hauling in a 17-yard TD from Jared Goff in the third quarter for his third score of the season on only six receptions. Per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic, coach Dan Campbell suggested after the loss that St. Brown would likely miss a game or two, and with tight end Sam LaPorta (back) and veteran wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle) already on the shelf, TeSlaa could find himself working as Detroit's WR2 behind Jameson Williams in Week 14 against the Cowboys.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Year 1 breakout possible
Bucky Brooks of NFL.com includes TeSlaa on his list of non-first-round rookies that could make an impact in 2025.
ANALYSIS
The third-round pick was considered a bit of a surprise selection at No. 70 overall, but all TeSlaa has done so far is validate the Lions' decision. Brooks points out the 6-foot-4 wideout is already a polished route runner, and TeSlaa's 10-146-3 receiving line this preseason was generated at the expense of several defenders left in his wake by his 4.43 speed.
