  Patriots | Kenneth Farrow signs with Patriots    Wed Sep 12, 06:26 PM

The New England Patriots signed free-agent RB Kenneth Farrow (Chargers) for their practice squad on Wednesday, Sept. 12. To make room for him, the team released WR Jace Billingsley.

Footballguys view: Undrafted out of the University of Houston in 2016, Farrow has spent all of his pro career with the Chargers. He was waived by the Chargers back in April and had to wait this long to find work. The Patriots lost Jeremy Hill (ACL) for the year, plus they have both Rex Burkhead (concussion) and Sony Michel (knee) banged up. Even though they added Kenjon Barner earlier this week, they must have wanted another body at the position. Farrow is a no-nonsense runner and decent receiver out of the backfield.

  Lions | Teo Redding may have edge for No. 5 WR job    Mon Jul 2, 01:56 PM

Detroit Lions WR Teo Redding may have an edge over WR Jace Billingsley for the No. 5 receiver job entering training camp because of his size and versatility.

Footballguys view: Size and versatility could mean red zone threat but these two are so far down the roster that Redding and Billingsley are kind of irrelevant right now. It's not worth having either in early drafts.

  Lions | Jace Billingsley fighting for a spot    Fri Jun 22, 09:55 PM

Detroit Lions WR Jace Billingsley spent some time with the first-team offense during spring practices, but he remains on the roster bubble, according to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com.

Footballguys view: Coming out of Eastern Oregon, Billingsley is a quick receiver with the toughness to get open on underneath routes. Golden Tate and Marvin Jones are locked in as the top two wide receivers in Detroit, but Billingsley might get some snaps in three- or four-WR sets.

  Lions | Three options for No. 5 receiver    Sat Jun 9, 03:14 PM

Detroit Lions WR Jace Billingsley, Teo Redding and Chris Lacy are expected to be candidates for the No. 5 receiver job during training camp.

Footballguys view: The no.5 receiver for the Lions isn't going to have much fantasy value. We'll monitor these guys and this position in deep dynasty leagues only.

  Lions | Detroit adds Jace Billingsley to roster    Wed Oct 25, 12:37 PM

Detroit Lions WR Jace Billingsley was promoted from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Wednesday, Oct. 25.

Footballguys view: The Lions initially added Billingsley as an undrafted free agent out of Eastern Oregon in 2016. He's been on their practice squad all of last year and leading up to now. With Golden Tate (shoulder) expected to miss Week 8, Billingsley gets the call up.

  Lions | Receiver competition brewing in Detroit    Sun Jun 11, 09:05 PM

Detroit Lions WR T.J. Jones and WR Jace Billingsley currently have a leg up in the battle for the remaining receiver spots behind WR Marvin Jones, WR Golden Tate and WR Kenny Golladay, according to Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com.

Footballguys view: T.J. Jones has spent time as the slot receiver for the first-team offense during OTAs, and he's got the edge in the competition for the no4 wide receiver. As it currently stands, Jones has no fantasy value for re-draft leagues. However, we'll be watching him in the preseason for the dynasty leagues we play in.

  Lions | Jared Abbrederis part of competition    Sun May 28, 08:16 PM

Detroit Lions WR Jared Abbrederis, WR T.J. Jones and WR Jace Billingsley are all part of a competition for the No. 3 receiver job.

Footballguys view: Don't forget about rookie Kenny Golladay in this competition too. No matter who wins the job, we don't see a ton of fantasy potential coming from the Lions no3 WR spot. Especially with TEs Eric Ebron and Mike Roberts soaking up targets as well as WRs Golden Tate and Marvin Jones.

  Lions | Jace Billingsley to compete for roster spot    Sat Feb 4, 01:30 PM

Detroit Lions WR Jace Billingsley will compete for the slot receiver job as well as a returner job during training camp next season.

Footballguys view: Billingsley has a path to make the roster as a returner, as a slot receiver, or as a backup WR/RB tweener to Theo Riddick. There are probably three spots up for grabs in the teams receiving corps next season.

Detroit Lions RB Theo Riddick (wrist) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Dec. 31. The team also promoted practice squad WR Jace Billingsley to their active roster.

Footballguys view: Riddick was limited to only 10 games this season. He had a career-high 357 rushing yards in 2016. Riddick's main value comes as a pass-catching back, and he had RB3/flex value when healthy. He finished with 53 catches, 371 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns.

  Lions | Detroit add several UDFAs    Tue May 3, 02:59 AM

Undrafted free-agents CB Adairius Barnes (Louisiana Tech), WR Jace Billingsley (Eastern Oregon), WR Quinshad Davis (North Carolina), DL James DeLoach (Georgia), DE Deonte Gibson (Northwestern), WR Jay Lee (Baylor), CB Charles Washington (Fresno State), CB Ian Wells (Ohio), TE Cole Wick (Incarnate Word) and OL Andrew Zeller (Maryland) agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions Monday, May 2. WR Simms McElfresh (Appalachian State), LB Tyler Roberts (Troy) and DL Roger Stewart (Hillsdale) will also be with the team during rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.

Footballguys view: Lee is the player to highlight here. He's got long arms and can snare passes away from his frame regularly. His game is comparable to that of Chris Chambers, former Dolphins standout wide receiver. In super deep dynasty leagues, we'll be keeping an eye on Lee.
