Tyrell Williams News
The Detroit Lions waived wide receiver Tyrell Williams (concussion) on Friday with an injury settlement. Williams suffered a concussion in the team's Week 1 game and has yet to play since. The 29-year-old was expected to replace Kenny Golladay and serve as quarterback Jared Goff's top receiver in 2021, but that obviously never came to fruition. Even if Williams were to land with another team, it seems unlikely that he'd become a fantasy asset elsewhere since he still hasn't cleared the league's concussion protocol. Rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kaylif Raymond have been Detroit's two most consistent pass-catchers this year outside of running back D'Andre Swift and tight end T.J. Hockenson, but both receivers have been very boom-or-bust in fantasy for the winless Lions.
The Detroit Lions placed wide receiver Tyrell Williams (concussion) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and placed kicker Austin Seibert on the COVID-19 list. They also officially signed inside linebacker Josh Woods from the Chicago Bears practice squad. Williams suffered a head injury in the season-opener and did not play in the Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The 29-year-old will now miss at least the next three weeks as he looks to gain clearance from the NFL's concussion protocol in the meantime. Quintez Cephus, Kalif Raymond and rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown figure to start in three-wide sets in his absence, but tight end T.J. Hockenson and the Lions running backs figure to continue leading the team in targets. Cephus, who led the receivers with 89.5 percent of the offensive snaps and seven targets in Week 2, is the best deep-league flier.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Tyrell Williams (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. Williams suffered a head injury in the season opener and was held out of the Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers. It's a bad sign that the 29-year-old is being ruled out so early in the week, and fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Week 4. With Williams out on Monday night, Quintez Cephus led the Detroit receiving corps with 89.5 percent of the offensive snaps, with Kalif Raymond and rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown following him. The Ravens defense has uncharacteristically allowed 421 receiving yards and three scores to wideouts in the first two weeks, but it'll still be hard to trust Cephus or the others outside of deeper leagues. Tight end T.J. Hockenson and running backs D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams should continue seeing most of the targets.
