Quintez Cephus News
Former Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus, who was reinstated last week after being suspended for all of last season for violating the NFL's gambling policies, reached an undisclosed agreement with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, according to his agents. The 26-year-old former fifth-round pick (166th overall) by the Lions in 2020 out of Wisconsin has a total of 37 receptions on 60 targets for 568 yards and four touchdowns in 22 games (six starts) in his three seasons in the league. The Bills are notably lacking receiver depth after trading Stefon Diggs to the Texans and losing Gabe Davis in free agency this offseason, so Cephus will have a chance to carve out a spot as receiving depth in Buffalo this summer in training camp. His best season came in his rookie year in 2020, when he caught 20 of 35 targets for 349 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games (two starts).
Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus was suspended for violating the NFL's gambling policy on Friday. Afterwards, the Lions decided to release the 25-year-old wideout. That isn't shocking considering Cephus receives an indefinite suspension that requires a minimum one-year ban. The former fifth-round pick has been mainly a depth option over the first three seasons of his career. He has 37 receptions, 568 yards, and four touchdowns in 22 games. It remains to be seen if Cephus will catch on elsewhere after his suspension ends.
The NFL has suspended five players on Friday, including Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams, for violations of the league's gambling policy, according to sources. Lions receiver Quintez Cephus and safety C.J. Moore and Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney are suspended indefinitely (at least for one year). Williams and Lions receiver Stanley Berryhill will be suspended for six games. It's a big blow for Detroit and for Williams, one of the league's more promising young wideouts. He got a late start in his rookie year in 2022 due to a knee injury and finished with a 41-yard touchdown catch in six games played. The 22-year-old still has plenty of exciting long-term upside for dynasty/keeper managers, but his stock in redraft leagues obviously takes a big hit with this news.
