Lions waive Seth McLaughlin and Jabari Small

The Detroit Lions waived center Seth McLaughlin and running back Jabari Small, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The moves trim the roster and have different levels of fantasy relevance depending on your league format.

What does Small's release mean for the Lions backfield?

RB Jabari Small's release removes a depth piece from the Detroit Lions backfield. If you were holding Small as a handcuff or stash in a deep league, he comes off the roster now. Monitor the waiver wire if another team claims him.

McLaughlin is a center and carries no fantasy relevance on his own.
