Let go by Lions
Funchess has been released by the Lions, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
When healthy, the 28-year-old Funchess still has something left in the tank, and he started the preseason strong by showing his value as a red-zone threat. However, a mid-August shoulder stinger curbed his momentum, and Funchess ultimately was unable to do enough to earn a roster spot in Detroit. The Lions presumably will move forward with Brock Wright, James Mitchell and Shane Zylstra as depth options at tight end behind T.J. Hockenson.

Funchess joined the Packers last March, but he opted out of the 2020 season and didn't see any action. The team retained his rights for the upcoming campaign and decided to bring him back for another go-around. While rust could be a concern, Funchess will no doubt be healthy and well-rested after playing just one game over the past two seasons. However, he'll have his work cut out for him, as the Packers added Randall Cobb and third-round pick Amari Rodgers to improve their previously thin WR room.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Spot on roster not guaranteed
Funchess's spot on the Packers roster could be tenuous after the team traded up to select wide receiver Amari Rodgers in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Funchess took a pay cut this past offseason in order to return to the Packers after opting out of the 2020 campaign, but even still the selection of Rodgers in the third round could push the soon-to-be 27-year-old out the door. It seems clear at this stage of Funchess's career that the 2015 second-round pick simply can't play in the slot, which slots the big-bodied target behind Allen Lazard, Davante Adams and Marques Valdes-Scantling on the depth chart for outside snaps. A more flexible and fluid receiving corps complete with the newly drafted Rodgers only pigeonholes Funchess even further, to the point where he simply might struggle to stand out with his limited opportunities.
