2026 Fantasy Outlook
Law's lack of college production (883 receiving yards, four TDs in 46 games) may scream 'UDFA', but there's some reason to think he wasn't a total waste of a draft pick by the Lions in Round 5 (168th overall). For starters, Law was a top-100 recruit who spent three years at Alabama, where it was arguably impressive just to earn backup snaps as a true freshman. The problem is that he never progressed, stuck behind Jermaine Burton and Isaiah Bond long before real standouts like Ryan Williams and Germie Bernard arrived in Tuscaloosa. Last year, Law transferred to Kentucky and "broke out" for a team-high 540 receiving yards, mostly relying on YAC to put up a 53-540-3 receiving line with a mere 3.4 aDOT. His excellent Combine showing -- 4.45 40, 42-inch vertical at 6-feet, 203 -- at least suggests long-term potential. However, Law suffered an ACL tear during spring practices in June, forcing him to redshirt his rookie season and focus on rehabbing for 2027. Read Past Outlooks

Tears ACL on Tuesday
Coach Dan Campbell said Thursday that Law tore his ACL at practice Tuesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Lions took Law in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 168th overall, and the Kentucky product was projected to provide the team with wideout depth behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa. Given the timing of his injury, Law is likely to be placed on IR and then set his sights on returning to the field as the 2027 season approaches. For now, Greg Dortch, Cedrick Wilson, Tom Kennedy and Dominic Lovett are candidates to compete for snaps behind Detroit's top WR trio.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Suffers torn ACL in practice
Law, whom the Lions selected out of Kentucky in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, suffered a torn ACL during a non-contact drill in Tuesday's OTA, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Lions traded up 13 spots to land Law with the 168th overall pick, and they'd been excited about the rookie's potential after he posted a 42-inch vertical jump and recorded a team-high 540 receiving yards with the Wildcats in 2025. Law will now have to wait until 2027 to make his NFL debut, and his injury seemingly ups the chances of bubble receivers such as Cedrick Wilson and Tom Kennedy latching on to spots on the 53-man roster.
