Lions | Devin Funchess sitting Friday Fri Jul 29, 08:51 AM
Detroit Lions TE Devin Funchess (groin) will not practice Friday, July 29, due to a groin injury.
| Footballguys view: It's not great news for a veteran player on the bubble who is learning a new position. Funchess signed with the Lions in June, and he's made the move from big-bodied wide receiver to tight end. If healthy, Funchess will compete with guys like Brock Wright and James Mitchell for the no.2 spot on the depth chart behind starter T.J. Hockenson. |

Lions | Detroit takes a chance on Devin Funchess Tue Jun 14, 04:39 PM
Free-agent WR Devin Funchess (49ers) signed an undisclosed contract with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, June 14. The Lions will also move him to tight end.
| Footballguys view: Funchess is a big-bodied receiver who hasn't done much in the NFL since 2017. He's bounced around the league over the last few seasons and now gets a chance with the Lions. T.J. Hockenson is the starter, and behind him guys like Brock Wright, James Mitchell and Funchess will compete to establish a pecking order on the depth chart. |

Packers | Top Packers receivers sit out OTAs Tue May 25, 08:13 PM
Green Bay Packers WRs Davante Adams, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard, Devin Funchess and Equanimeous St. Brown were absent from organized team activities, along with QB Aaron Rodgers Tuesday, May 25. No reason was disclosed. Sophomore QB Jordan Love was left to run drills with a makeshift receiving group, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
| Footballguys view: The workouts are voluntary, but this does seem like a move of solidarity for their quarterback. Rodgers is disgruntled with the Packers front office and there are plenty of rumblings about him getting traded away - even though the team doesn't want to. If the Packers realize nothing is going to make him change his mind, then perhaps they look to trade Rodgers after June 1st (when the salary cap hit would be lower). |

Green Bay Packers WR Devin Funchess hasn't shared his intentions for the 2021 season with the team after opting out of the 2020 campaign, according to offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett Tuesday, March 2. He remains under contract.
| Footballguys view: Funchess has a cap hit of $2.3 million in 2021 with $1 million left in dead money. It's interesting the team hasn't heard from him yet, so who knows what's going to happen. Even if he plays, Funchess won't bring much to the table for the Packers. |

Packers | Devin Funchess foregoes season Tue Jul 28, 05:32 PM

| Footballguys view: Just another reason the Packers should have added a wide receiver early for QB Aaron Rodgers in the 2020 NFL draft. Ah, but we digress this is a tough move for the Packers as Funchess was expected to provide veteran depth and work in 3-WR sets this season. |

Packers | Devin Funchess officially added by Green Bay Thu Apr 2, 07:26 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Devin Funchess officially signed with the team Thursday, April 2. The contract was previously reported to be worth $2.5 million for one season.
| Footballguys view: Funchess is a big-bodied target who gets another fresh start in the league, this time with Green Bay. Injuries limited him to one game in 2019 with the Colts. Funchess has the ability and still has the upside to win the job as the No.2 receiver in a passing game with Aaron Rodgers. That's something we'll be tracking closely in training camp because of the fantasy relevance with that role. |

Unrestricted free-agent WR Devin Funchess (Colts) is expected to sign an undisclosed contract with the Green Bay Packers, according to sources.

Indianapolis Colts WR Devin Funchess (collarbone) is not expected to be activated from the Reserve/Injured list before the deadline Wednesday, Dec. 4, meaning that he will be ineligible to play again this season, according to multiple sources.

Colts | Devin Funchess won't return for Week 13 Wed Nov 27, 10:47 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Devin Funchess (clavicle) won't return to the field in Week 13, according to head coach Frank Reich Wednesday, Nov. 27. The window for the Colts to add Funchess to the active roster from the Reserve/Injured list expires Wednesday, Dec. 4, at which point he'll be shut down for the season if not activated. 'He's not going to make it this week, not because of anything we've learned in the last couple of days,' Reich said. '... We've had no setbacks, there's been nothing negative, the reality is from where we've got to be and where we need to be, he won't make it there on Sunday.'
| Footballguys view: Funchess has been a major bust of a one-year signing and his value will be way down in the free agent market next year. He's on the roster fringe in shallow dynasty leagues. |

Colts | HC encouraged by play of Devin Funchess Mon Jun 24, 02:03 AM
Indianapolis Colts WR Devin Funchess produced mixed results during organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamp, according to beat writer Kevin Bowen, although head coach Frank Reich said he was 'very encouraged' by what he saw during spring practices. 'We knew right away, you could tell day one that he was smart. (He was) not going to have a problem grasping the system,' Reich said. 'Then it's just a question of getting used to the way we do things, the way we teach things and then our schemes. I just thought he showed a very high aptitude for that.'
| Footballguys view: We need to see Funchess' chemistry with Andrew Luck before getting a real grasp on his fantasy value this year. He's got a chance to be as high as the #2 target in the passing game or as long as #5 or #6. Funchess is worth a speculative second half of your draft pick in the meantime. |

Colts | Devin Funchess struggled in OTAs Mon Jun 17, 01:48 AM
Indianapolis Colts WR Devin Funchess struggled to establish a consistent rapport with QB Jacoby Brissett during organized team activities (OTAs), as starting QB Andrew Luck was held out. Head coach Frank Reich still praised the aptitude and route running of Funchess.
| Footballguys view: Keep an eye on this situation as training camp and preseason roll on later this summer. It's not a good sign that Funchess was struggling in OTAs. The Colts took a flier on Funchess after he had a down season in Carolina. They signed him to a one-year deal earlier this offseason. He gives the Colts much-needed size at the wide receiver position, and Funchess gets an upgrade at quarterback with Andrew Luck. We'll see if he can clean things up in training camp. |

Colts | Devin Funchess working into offense Sat May 25, 09:58 PM
Indianapolis Colts WR Devin Funchess knows how to run a lot of QB Andrew Luck's favorite routes, according to head coach Frank Reich.
| Footballguys view: Funchess knows how to use his size as an advantage. He is a complementary receiver to T.Y. Hilton and is a much more pass-happy offense now that he's with the Colts and not the Panthers. Funchess as a current ADP of WR50 (11.07) in 12-team PPR leagues. |

Colts | Indy officially signs Devin Funchess Thu Mar 14, 07:14 PM
Free-agent WR Devin Funchess (Panthers) officially signed with the Indianapolis Colts Thursday, March 14.
| Footballguys view: Funchess is a big-bodied receiver who has yet to really play up to his potential. The Colts could use a big target like him opposite of T.Y. Hilton. We'll see if Funchess can stay healthy and be an effective weapon for the Colts. He's on a one-year deal, so if he doesn't work out the Colts can easily move on. |

Colts | Indy to add Devin Funchess Mon Mar 11, 07:37 PM
Carolina Panthers impending free-agent WR Devin Funchess plans to sign a one-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts worth as much as $13 million, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Funchess is not a top-tier free agent, but he could contribute with an upgrade at the quarterback position with Andrew Luck. The big-bodied veteran had a down year with the Panthers in 2018 and should benefit from a change of scenery. Funchess has the size to be a threat in the red zone, and the Colts should have a high-powered offense. He's got WR2 upside for Fantasy GMs if he hits the numbers he had in 2017. |

Carolina Panthers impending free-agent WR Devin Funchess is referring to himself as a 'former Carolina Panther' and 'now looking for a new team.' After an unproductive season the team is not expected to re-sign him.
| Footballguys view: A second-round pick in the 2015 NFL draft, Funchess had a down season in 2018. In 14 games he caught 44 passes for 549 yards and four touchdowns. The Panthers are looking for an upgrade at the position and Funchess is clearly looking for a new start. |

Ravens | Devin Funchess an option for Baltimore? Thu Feb 7, 10:24 PM
Carolina Panthers impending free-agent WR Devin Funchess could be an option for the Baltimore Ravens because his size would allow him to be an effective blocker when QB Lamar Jackson scrambles, according to Clifton Brown of BaltimoreRavens.com.
| Footballguys view: With the Super Bowl over, let the free agency speculation begin! Funchess had a disappointing year with the Panthers in 2018. He only caught 44 passes in 14 games, scored only one touchdown and failed to go over 100 yards receiving in any contest. We'll see if a fresh start helps him play better. If that fresh start is in Baltimore it might mean a lot of blocking and not crushing numbers as a receiver. |

Panthers | Devin Funchess not expected back Sat Jan 19, 03:24 PM
Carolina Panthers impending free-agent WR Devin Funchess likely will not re-sign with the Panthers this offseason because of WR D.J. Moore's performance during the second half of the season.
| Footballguys view: A second-round pick of the Panthers in 2015, Funchess has been overshadowed by younger and more explosive talent at the position like Moore. In 2018, Funchess played in 14 games nabbed 44 passes for 549 yards and four receiving touchdowns. There should be a market for his services, just not a white-hot market in our opinion. |
