Lions WR Isaac TeSlaa caught both of his targets for 41 yards and a score in Saturday's preseason finale against the Texans. The TD came on a 'go' ball down the right sideline. TeSlaa got a step on his defender and made a smooth over-the-shoulder catch in the end zone.
What They're Saying
HC Dan Campbell on TeSlaa: "He just continues to get better and better. Every time he makes a play, every time he does something, you gain the trust of everyone around you. ... We're very pleased with where he's at after six weeks of camp. ... I think there’s a place for him to help us early in this season.”
2025 Fantasy Football Impact
TeSlaa wraps up the preseason with 10 catches on 13 targets for 146 yards and three TDs. He tested as a 99th percentile athlete in the pre-draft process and has looked like it on the NFL field, flashing impressive burst, speed, and leaping ability.
TeSlaa is stuck in a crowded Lions offense and will still likely open the season no higher than fourth on the WR depth chart. But he could push WR Tim Patrick for the No. 3 spot, which would at least get TeSlaa on the field a good amount. At that point, an injury to either WR Amon-Ra St. Brown or WR Jameson Williams could make TeSlaa a fantasy factor.
He's become an exciting late-round target in best ball drafts and is squarely on the waiver-wire watchlist in lineup-setting leagues.
