When Lions 2^nd year receiver Titus Young was last making headlines, it was for being suspended from practice, allegedly for getting into a fight with defensive back Louis Delmas, though the Lions denied that was the reason. Now Young is making headlines for positive reasons as MLive.com’s Anwar Richardson has been praising him consistently for his outstanding play in OTAs.

Young is competing for the starting job opposite Calvin Johnson this year. This may only be OTAs, but he will leap veteran Nate Burleson on the depth chart if he continues to play this well. Young was a 2^nd round rookie last year and has a lot of fantasy upside on Detroit’s explosive passing offense. Young managed 48 catches for 607 yards and 6 touchdowns as the #3 receiver last year. In his 2^nd year in the league, that’s probably his statistical floor. Richardson believes he’s talented enough to approach 1000 yards if inserted into the starting lineup.
