Detroit Lions tight end Eric Ebron was held in check once again in Week 13. Despite a dream Thanksgiving matchup against the Chicago Bears defense, the rookie had just three catches for 23 yards in the Lions' 34-17 win.

Matthew Stafford gashed the Bears defense for 390 passing yards, but Ebron saw just four targets on the day. He has reached four catches just once in nine games and hasn't topped 30 receiving yards since Week 4; that game was also when he caught his first and only touchdown of the season.
Fantasy impact: We won't know the snap counts until Friday, but Ebron is struggling to emerge from a tight end group including Joseph Fauria and Brandon Pettigrew. A first-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, Ebron's rookie year has been mostly a wash. He remains a strong prospect in dynasty leagues, but Ebron doesn't have any re-draft value even in a weak market for tight ends.
