Who Should I Start? Marvin Jones or Terrace Marshall Jr.

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.

The Las Vegas Raiders have elevated running back Sincere McCormick from the practice squad and signed wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. to the active roster ahead of Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs. McCormick operated as Ameer Abdullah's backup last week, rushing five times for 33 yards (6.6 yards per carry). He could be active as the No. 2 option again this Friday if Alexander Mattison (ankle) isn't able to suit up. McCormick is off the fantasy radar in most fantasy leagues. Meanwhile, Marshall has played in just one game this season, suiting up for the Raiders last week against Denver. He played 11 percent of the offensive snaps but did not register a target. Marshall is off the fantasy radar in all leagues.
