Released by Lions
The Lions have released Cephus (foot), NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The move follows news that Cephus has been suspended indefinitely for violating the league's gambling policy. Per the report, Cephus can reapply for reinstatement after the conclusion of the 2023 season. The 2020 fifth-rounder is coming off a 2022 campaign in which a foot injury limited him to four games with Detroit, during which he caught two passes for 15 yards.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
After Tyrell Williams went down Week 1 and before Cephus broke his collarbone Week 5, the Wisconsin product had a large role that commanded over 70 percent of the offensive snaps per game. This offseason, though, Detroit went out and invested in the 6-4 DJ Chark in free agency and then traded up in the first round to add another promising perimeter receiver in Jameson Williams. With Amon-Ra St. Brown locked into the slot role, Cephus seems no higher than No. 4 or 5 on the depth chart entering 2022. However, if the Lions take a cautious approach with Williams' return from an ACL injury, the short list of candidates to take his spot in the starting lineup would be Cephus and Josh Reynolds.
