Marvin Jones Jr. Released By Lions

Wednesday, October 25, 11:01 AM

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.

Lawrence Cager News

Lawrence Cager Catches His First Touchdown Of The 2023 Season

Sunday, November 12, 9:56 PM

New York Giants tight end Lawrence Cager caught one of New York's two touchdowns in their 49-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. With a blowout already well underway, the Dallas defense let their foot off of the gas pedal and allowed Cager to catch a ten-yard score. It was his only reception of the contest. The reserve tight end only has three catches this season (all against Dallas) and is seeing increased time on the field with the injury to Darren Waller (hamstring). There aren't any reasons to roster the 26-year-old in any fantasy football format.
