The New England Patriots re-signed wide receiver Jace Billingsley to the practice squad on Tuesday and placed receiver Riley McCarron on the Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. None of this means anything for fantasy owners. Carry on.
The Detroit Lions made a pair of roster moves on Tuesday, signing wide receiver Jace Billingsley and defensive end George Johnson. To make room, they waived receiverJared Abbrederis and defensive end Jacquies Smith. Billingsley and Abbrederis have competed for a roster spot in Detroit over the last few years, and it looks like Billingsley is getting another chance. He will be the No. 5 wide receiver on the depth chart and is unlikely to see any targets barring a flurry of injuries. Do not roster him in any fantasy formats.
The Detroit Lions are waiving wide receiver Jace Billingsley on Saturday, which means wideout Jared Abbrederis could make the squad as the No. 5 receiver. It's somewhat of a surprise, as Billingsley was talked up all spring and during organized team activities, but he apparently didn't impress the Lions enough in preseason action. The 24-year-old has yet to play a regular season game in the NFL. Abbrederis had 10 catches in two seasons in Green Bay and is a long shot to make an impact in Detroit's passing game.
