Quintez Cephus News
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.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks. He caught two passes for 15 yards before exiting. Detroit is suddenly extremely thin at wide receiver with Cephus, Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle), and DJ Chark (ankle) sidelined. T.J. Hockenson and Josh Reynolds should headline the passing attack in Cephus' absence.
