I love his name, and I loved his game Week 2 when he turned seven targets into four catches for 63 yards and a touchdown. Quintez Cephus has now scored in back-to-back weeks and appears to be the de facto No. 1 WR with injury-riddled Tyrell Williams sidelined with a concussion. With Detroit bound to trail in most of its games this season, Cephus could be targeted often if he keeps his status as one of the Lions top two wideouts. Fantasy managers have to know going in that tight end T.J. Hockenson is really the top target of quarterback Jared Goff, however.
Baltimore had the tough task of dealing with Patrick Mahomes and the hot-handed Derek Carr during the first two games of the season, but that is no excuse for the Ravens’ abysmal ranking as the worst pass defense in the NFL right now. With Baltimore’s secondary struggling, and the fact that the Lions and Goff will probably pass more than they run due to the game script, Cephus should be able to have his third consecutive fruitful fantasy week. Pick him up for this week and feel free to start him in deeper leagues, or on teams where you're dealing with injuries or a roster crunch. He may give you four-to-six good weeks over the entire season.
