|
Updated 8/21/2009 |
| Aveion Cason, RB DET | |
| News: The battle for the No. 3 RB spot in Detroit behind RB Kevin Smith and RB Maurice Morris in Lions camp may come down to who is more valuable on special teams - RB Aveion Cason or RB Aaron Brown. Cason will begin the game as KR. | Analysis: Brown has more upside for the Lions, but he might not play right away. The safe bet with Cason and Brown in seasonal leagues is to ignore both on Draft Day. |

Lions ink two to contracts
|
Updated 3/10/2009 |
| Aveion Cason, RB DET | |
| News: The Lions signed linebacker Cody Spencer and re-signed running back Aveion Cason to one-year contracts Monday. Spencer played the past three seasons with the New York Jets, appearing in 14 games - mostly on special teams - last year. Spencer played his first two seasons in Tennessee under defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, now the Lions' head coach. Cason, who was an unrestricted free agent, played in seven games for Detroit last season as a kick returner and running back. The 29-year-old Cason has also played for St. Louis and Dallas. | Analysis: Neither player should produce enough stats to warrant Fantasy use. Keep them both off of Fantasy rosters. |

Duckett, Bell to fill in for Jones
|
Updated 12/24/2007 |
| Aveion Cason, RB DET | |
| News: A torn knee ligament will keep Lions RB Kevin Jones out of the team's final regular-season game this weekend and could sideline him until the start of training camp. Tests revealed a torn ACL in Jones' right knee. He was injured late in the first half of Sunday's 25-20 victory over Kansas City after being tackled on a short reception. Coach Rod Marinelli said Monday the team's medical staff will wait until swelling goes down in the knee to determine the best remedy. He wasn't sure of the extent of the tear or whether it will need surgery. Marinelli said he hopes to have Jones back when training camp begins in late July. The former Virginia Tech standout has missed 10 games due to injuries since Detroit selected him in the first round of the 2004 draft. | Analysis: T.J. Duckett, who rushed for a season-best 102 yards against Kansas City, should get the bulk of the carries Sunday when Detroit ends the regular season at Green Bay. Marinelli said the Lions also will use Aveion Cason and Tatum Bell. Consider Duckett a No. 3 Fantasy RB against the Packers, and Bell and Cason have minimal Fantasy value this week. |

Updated 12/23/2007 |
| Aveion Cason, RB DET | |
| News: Lions RB Aveion Cason caught four passes for 10 yards in Week 16 vs. Kansas City. He also caught a pass for seven yards. | Analysis: With Kevin Jones suffering a pretty serious knee injury during the game, Cason climbed up the depth chart to No. 2 RB. That still doesn't put him in a situation to be useful in Fantasy. |

| News: Lions RB Aveion Cason (three catches for 29 yards with a fumble) and TE John Owens (9-yard catch) made minimal contributions for the Lions at San Diego in Week 15. | Analysis: Neither player posts enough stats to warrant use in Fantasy play.
