Tight end Eric Ebron struggled to produce for the Detroit Lions Sunday despite having a team-high seven targets in the win over the Chicago Bears.
Fantasy football Week 12: Start or Sit Eric Ebron for Thanksgiving?
Ebron struggled despite a high-volume of targets in Week 11. We look at the fantasy implications heading into Thursday.


Ebron pulled in four passes for 49 yards in the game. It was his second-best receiving game of the season. Ebron has failed to gain more than 60 yards in a game this season. He has also been missing in the red zone, scoring just two touchdowns so far this season.
Thursday things will not get easier for Ebron facing the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings have shut down TEs all season. They have only given up three touchdowns to big men and the eighth-fewest yards to the position. Ebron only caught two passes for 27 yards in Week 4 against Minnesota.
Fantasy impact: Ebron has almost no fantasy appeal without a touchdown. Problem is, he has only scored twice this season. Ebron gets lost in the Lions’ receiving corps weekly and he does not help himself out playing poorly. His volume is higher than a lot of tight ends, however, he is not doing much with his opportunities this season. It is highly unlikely he can turn things around against the Vikings’ brutal defense Thursday.
