Young arrested twice: After a tumultuous couple of seasons in Detroit, the Lions released receiver Titus Young in February, and it's telling that there hasn't been much, if any, interest in the talented, yet troubled receiver. Getting arrested twice in a 15-hour span probably won't help. But that's where Young found himself Sunday, according to the Oakland Press, when he was handcuffed a little after midnight for suspicion of DUI and again at about 2:22 p.m. when Young allegedly was trying to retrieve his black Mustang from a tow company yard. He has been charged with burglary in his second arrest after police say he was trying to take back the car that was impounded after his first arrest. (Updated 5/8/13)

Fantasy Analysis
The past two seasons in Detroit were mostly a disaster for Young. He tweeted out how unselfish he was but that if he didn't get passes thrown his way, he didn't want to play anymore. He was accused of purposely lining up in the wrong spots during games. Plus, Young has been known to sucker-punch a teammate. Oh, and one other thing, he thinks he's a better receiver than Calvin Johnson. The Rams, though, took a chance on him, claiming him off waivers after the Lions release. Less than two weeks later, St. Louis dropped him. Now, following these two arrests, there's a real question whether any other franchise will take a chance on him ever again. He is not worth drafting in any Fantasy leagues this year. (Updated 5/8/13).
05/16/2013 19:30 Report: Titus Young's ex-girlfriend gets restraining order against him
The mother of Titus Young's 8-month-old son has been granted a temporary restraining order against Young. According to the restraining order request, Young's ex-girlfriend alleges that he would say things like, "I understand why O.J. killed his wife."
Titus Young is a free agent after getting waived by the Lions and then the Rams passed on him. Young fought with Detroit coaches last season and reportedly ran the wrong routes on game day on purpose. That kind of insubordination will get you blackballed from the league quickly. Until he's back on a roster with his head on straight Fantasy owners shouldn't touch him. (Updated 4/26/13)
