Isaac TeSlaa once again played with the backups. TeSlaa is only in his second season, so he may simply need the reps more than any starter, but it's still concerning to see him treated like a backup. The WR3 job in Detroit wasn't a highly-coveted job in the first place. Drawing targets alongside their stacked cast of pass-catchers is nearly impossible. But now that TeSlaa may not even have that low-wattage role in the bag, he is off my draft boards entirely.

TeSlaa off draft boards after losing WR3 role to backups.

TeSlaa played with the backups again in Week 2 preseason despite being in only his second season. While he may need the reps, being treated like a backup is concerning for his role prospects. The WR3 job in Detroit was never highly coveted due to the Lions' stacked pass-catching corps, and with TeSlaa potentially losing even that low-wattage role, he is off the draft boards entirely.
