  • Catches touchdown in season finale

    Cephus caught two of three targets for 51 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 37-35 loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: Without anything to play for in a second straight game, Detroit finally chose to give Cephus (32 snaps) more run than veterans Mohamed Sanu (27) and Danny Amendola (24) after failing to do so Week 16. While Cephus wasn't needed to do much with Marvin Jones going off for 180 yards and two touchdowns, the rookie made his mark with a 20-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter, showcasing the downfield ability that helped Cephus to a team-high 17.5 yards per reception in 2020. However,…read more

  • Two targets in meaningless game

    Cephus caught one of two targets for nine yards during Saturday's 47-7 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Despite getting eliminated from playoff contention last week and falling behind 34 points at halftime, the Lions again decided to have Cephus finish fourth in playing time behind three 30-plus-year-old receivers who aren't under contract beyond this season. Knowing we can't rely upon Detroit to maximize the rookie's playing time in meaningless games, Cephus is nothing more than a dart throw Week 17 against a Vikings defense that has allowed the seventh-most yards per pass attempt since Week 8.…read more

  • Makes another big play

    Cephus caught one of three targets for 36 yards during Sunday's 46-25 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Clearly running behind Marvin Jones but not trailing Mohamed Sanu and Danny Amendola by much, Cephus has shown some flashes during the continued absence of Kenny Golladay (hip). Combined with the fact that none of the four aforementioned names are under contract beyond this season and Detroit has no chance of making the playoffs, it will be interesting to see if the Lions feature Cephus a little more during the final two games of the regular season. However, fantasy owners should keep in mind…read more

  • Snags two more catches

    Cephus caught both his targets for 16 yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Cephus (33 snaps) again saw just as much playing time as Danny Amendola (35) but less than Marvin Jones (60) and Mohamed Sanu (41). However, the rookie wasn't able to make a big play in this one. Should Matthew Stafford (ribs) miss time or Kenny Golladay (hip) return to action, Cephus will be especially hard to trust as a fantasy option in Week 15 against the Titans.

  • Collects first career TD

    Cephus hauled in two of four targets for 63 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-30 win against the Bears.

    Analysis: The rookie from Wisconsin snuck by 2018 All-Pro Kyle Fuller for his first career NFL touchdown, laying out at the pylon to secure a 49-yard strike from Matthew Stafford. Though Cephus has just two outings of more than 50 receiving yards over nine appearances this season, it's notable that four targets against the Bears counted for his most in a game since the season opener against Chicago. He may continue to hold a role in the offense Week 14 against the Packers' 15th-ranked defense, especially…read more

  • Back practicing with team

    Cephus (non-injury related) rejoined the Lions for practice Friday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Cephus was excused from the Lions' first two Week 13 practices for an unspecified reason, but his return to work Friday sets the stage for him to be available Sunday in Chicago. With top wideout Kenny Golladay (hip) seemingly trending toward another absence, Cephus should be active for the contest as a depth option at receiver.

  • No practice Thursday

    Cephus (non-injury related) didn't practice Thursday, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.

    Analysis: Cephus has yet to get on the field this week with what's been called 'not injury related' on Lions practice reports. He's otherwise healthy, so if he's able to return to practice Friday, he'll be in a position to be a part of a receiving corps that may be without Kenny Golladay (hip) again Sunday in Chicago.

  • Misses practice for unknown reason

    Cephus (undisclosed) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: The exact reason for Cephus' absence wasn't provided. Cephus caught two passes in last week's loss to Houston, coming one catch short of his season high. Since the depth wideout isn't dealing with an injury, he should suit up Sunday in Chicago if he's able to return to practice before then.

  • Catches two passes

    Cephus caught two of two passes for 27 yards during Thursday's 41-25 loss to Houston.

    Analysis: Each of Cephus, Jamal Agnew and Marvin Hall saw extra playing time in the absence of Kenny Golladay (hip) and Danny Amendola (hip), but none of them capitalized on the favorable matchup against Houston. While it's not clear if Golladay or Amendola could return in Week 13, either way, Cephus probably won't have enough usage to be fantasy relevant.

  • Could start this week

    Cephus should have a large role in the Detroit offense with both Kenny Golladay (hip) and Danny Amendola (hip) ruled out for Sunday's game in Carolina, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

    Analysis: With Golladay out the past two weeks, Cephus played 41 and 51 percent of snaps on offense, catching three of four targets for 41 yards. He should see more playing time now that Amendola is joining Golladay on the inactive list, but Marvin Jones and TE T.J. Hockenson are the safer bets to see targets from Matthew Stafford. It'll likely be Jones, Cephus and Marvin Hall as the regular grouping for three-wide formations, with Jamal Agnew potentially mixing in as well.

  • Catches one pass against Washington

    Cephus caught one of two targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 30-27 win over Washington.

    Analysis: No receiver other than Marvin Jones saw more than four targets on a day the Lions were able to move the ball through running back D'Andre Swift. However, with Danny Amendola (hip) now likely joining Kenny Golladay (hip) and Jamal Agnew (hip) on the injury report, it's possible Cephus could serve as a top-three receiver for Detroit in Week 11 against Carolina. How involved Cephus's teammates are in practice this week will be telling in how big of a role the Wisconsin product may play.

  • Two targets without Golladay

    Cephus caught both of his targets for 31 yards during Sunday's loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Unlike Week 1 when Cephus saw 10 targets and 79 percent of the playing time in the absence of Kenny Golladay (hip), this time he saw 41 percent of the playing time and was an afterthought behind Marvin Jones, Danny Amendola and Marvin Hall. While not many receivers command double-digit targets on a weekly basis anyway, Cephus seems especially unlikely to even see the playing time that could allow for a return to that kind of volume unless another receiver joins Golladay on the sidelines.

  • Healthy scratch once again

    Cephus (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Colts.

    Analysis: Cephus will sit out a third straight game as a healthy scratch. He's all of a sudden buried on the depth chart after being targeted 13 times over his first two NFL games when Kenny Golladay was out of the lineup. Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola are all healthy and prepared to take on large workloads Sunday, leaving Cephus on the outside looking in. The fifth-round pick will need to keep developing before securing consistent playing time.

  • 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
