| Footballguys view: Cain was a sixth-round pick out of Clemson in the 2018 NFL draft for the Colts. He performed well in the preseason, and due to his size/speed/athleticism combination, we will still monitor Cain but only in crazy deep dynasty formats. |

Eagles | Philly moves on from Deon Cain Tue Aug 30, 02:34 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR Deon Cain was released Tuesday, Aug. 30.
| Footballguys view: Cain was a sixth-round pick out of Clemson in the 2018 NFL draft for the Colts. Since then, he's bounced around to a few teams and has flashed just a little bit. Cain did have a good preseason, so perhaps someone will take a chance on the veteran speedster. |

Eagles | Philly adds 11 on futures contracts Tue Jan 18, 07:25 PM

| Footballguys view: With a nice size/speed combination, Deon Cain will always be a player we monitor in crazy deep dynasty formats. The former Clemson receivers, a sixth-round pick of the Colts in the 2018 NFL draft, has bounced around to a handful of teams in the pros and has never seemed to impress enough to stick. We'll see if that changes with the Eagles and yet another opportunity to play up to his potential. |

Ravens | Deon Cain catches on with Baltimore Fri Jan 22, 04:20 PM
Free-agent WR Deon Cain (Steelers) signed a Reserve/Future contract with the Baltimore Ravens on Friday, Jan. 22.
| Footballguys view: Cain is a player we've always tracked in crazy deep dynasty formats. He's athletic and a former Clemson receiver who has bounced around the league. The Ravens are a team where he could make the 53-man roster but it seems like a pipe dream to expect Cain to do much of anything at this point in his pro career. |

He's a former Clemson receiver with a nice size/speed combination...but he's done little in his pro career and bounced around to a couple of different teams. Fantasy GMs in super deep dynasty formats might still be holding out hope too. |

Steelers | Several may compete for one spot Fri Jun 19, 05:14 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WRs Amara Darboh, Deon Cain, Saeed Blacknall, Anthony Johnson and Quadree Henderson may compete for one roster spot during training camp.
| Footballguys view: Cain has the highest ceiling after being claimed from the Colts last year. Darboh went in the third round of 2017 draft. Blacknall played in the XFL and has an intriguing size/speed combination. Johnson was highly productive in college but didn't stick with the Bucs as an undrafted free agent last year. Henderson has the most value on special teams. If you're going to roster one in your dynasty league, make it Cain. |

Steelers | Deon Cain's spot uncertain Wed Jun 17, 05:59 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Deon Cain has a chance to make the final roster but his spot on the team is not guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: A sixth-round pick out of Clemson in the 2018 NFL draft (Colts), Cain is a player we've been monitoring in deep dynasty formats. He's got good speed down the field and a large catch radius. The Steelers picked him up after the Colts waived him in 2019. The wide receiver position is jam-packed in Pittsburgh, so we'll see if Cain can stand out. |
Deon Cain player page
Steelers | Two WRs may compete for one spot Mon May 11, 07:13 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WRs Deon Cain and Ryan Switzer may compete for one roster spot during training camp.
| Footballguys view: They are two different types of receivers that's for sure. Cain is the downfield threat who can fly by defenders and track the ball. Switzer is the small, waterbug receiver who can use quickness on underneath routes. We'll see which type of receiver the Steelers prefer to keep near the end of the bench. |

| Footballguys view: Cain could become a good development prospect in the Steelers organization because they get the most of our their youngsters at the position. Whyte will be the latest player to attempt to breathe life into the kick return game. |
