Healthy scratch against Jaguars
Cephus (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Jacksonville.
Analysis: Cephus attracted 13 combined targets Weeks 1 and 2, including a gargantuan 10 targets during the season-opening loss to Chicago, but his offensive involvement has completely fallen by the wayside with the return of Kenny Golladay to the lineup. The reigning Pro Bowl wideout sat out Detroit's first two contests of the year because of a hamstring injury, but with that issue having been cleared upon Golladay's Sept. 27 return against Arizona, Cephus has been relegated to a healthy-scratch…read more

No targets against Saints
Cephus recorded no targets or receptions during Sunday's 35-29 loss to New Orleans.
Analysis: The 2020 fifth-round pick from Wisconsin played over 65 percent of the offensive snaps Weeks 1 and 2 while Pro Bowl wideout Kenny Golladay missed time with a hamstring injury. In those contests Cephus accumulated six receptions on his 13 targets, collecting 97 receiving yards. Over the past two weeks, however, Cephus has not had a pass thrown his way in the offensive attack, while playing 15 or fewer percent of the snaps in each outing. He remains a depth WR option for Detroit heading into the…read more

Small role in Golladay's return
Cephus was not targeted during Sunday's 26-23 win over Arizona.
Analysis: With a healthy Kenny Golladay back in the fold, Cephus saw just 10 offensive snaps after logging over 100 combined over the first two weeks of the season. As long as Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola stay healthy, don't expect Cephus to return to his season-opening role anytime soon.

Catches another trio of passes
Cephus caught all three of his targets for 54 yards during Sunday's 42-21 loss to Green Bay.
Analysis: After seeing 10 targets in the season opener, Cephus predictably experienced a significant downturn in offensive involvement despite the continued absence of Kenny Golladay (hamstring). While Golladay's impending return eventually will push Cephus back to the fringes of the fantasy radar, Golladay isn't a lock to see a full workload even if he suits up for Week 3 against the Cardinals. Should Golladay sit or be limited in any way, it's worth keeping in mind that Cephus has seen more red-zone…read more

Poised for another start
With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) out for another week, Cephus should get a lot of playing time Sunday in Green Bay, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Analysis: The rookie fifth-round pick got 10 targets and 79 percent snap share in a 27-23 loss to the Bears last week. A repeat of the target volume doesn't seem all that likely, but Cephus should at least have a starting job and regular snaps coming his way again.

Sees 10 targets in debut
Cephus caught three of 10 targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Without Kenny Golladay (hamstring), Cephus stepped into a huge role and finished second among all rookie receivers in Week 1 by logging 79 percent of his team's offensive snaps (62 of 78). Meanwhile, Marvin Hall and Jamal Agnew saw 16 or less snaps apiece. While Cephus wasn't the most efficient with his opportunities, a couple of them came in the end zone, and it's important to know the rookie can command this kind of workload when given the opportunity. If Golladay remains sidelined Week 2,…read more

Slated for expanded role
With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) declared doubtful, Cephus could see an expanded role in Sunday's game against the Bears, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Danny Amendola (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Should both receivers sit this one out, Cephus, Marvin Hall, and Jamal Agnew would be left to fight for snaps behind Marvin Jones. With Agnew just recently transitioning to receiver from cornerback this summer, Cephus and Hall would be the favorites for playing time in that scenario, where Cephus profiles as a possession-type option while Hall is a deep threat. Accordingly, Cephus is probably the one who would be most affected by…read more

Getting open
Cephus is impressing with his ability to get open during training camp, Nick Baumgardner of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Cephus had the worst time in the 40-yard dash among all participating receivers at this year's combine, and it doesn't sound like he's making anyone forget about that. However, Cephus's lack of speed might make it even more impressive that he was able to make a pair of big grabs against No. 3 overall pick Jeff Okudah on Tuesday. While it will be hard for Cephus to see the field in 2020 as long as Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones, and Danny Amendola are healthy, dynasty GMs should keep in mind that…read more
