Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. announced on Tuesday that he was stepping away from the team due to personal family matters. Jones was then released by the team. "To be brief, I am stepping away from the team to take care of personal family matters," Jones wrote in part in an Instagram post. "Although this was no easy decision, I cannot be the person/player that I need to be for this team as well as tend to my family from afar." The veteran pass-catcher did not travel with the team to Baltimore in Week 7 and had very little production to begin the season, catching five passes for 35 yards on 10 targets. The 33-year-old didn't mention anything about retirement. The former fifth-rounder has played in 151 career games and has 547 catches for 7,421 yards and 58 touchdowns. With Jones out of the picture, Kalif Raymond could have a bigger role as wideout depth in Detroit.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb gained over 100 yards again in a playoff loss to the Green Bay Packers. Lamb was targeted 17 times in the game, making nine catches for 110 yards, including a long gain of 47 yards. It was a rare game where Lamb did not catch a touchdown, but he was once again able to make it over 100 yards. Lamb was consistently a top-five option at his position this season and should be right up there in those ranks next season as one of the first players drafted in almost all formats.
