Jameson Williams

Now THAT was a disgusting act.

Raymond missed nearly two months late in the year after suffering a foot injury in Week 12. He returned for the Divisional Round and posted a better receiving line than either Jameson Williams or Tim Patrick. The speedy receiver was primarily deployed on special teams this year but did see a steady dose of routes as the team's third or fourth receiver. Despite missing five games, he still led the league in punt return yards and was one of just a handful of players to house-call a punt. Raymond isn't a name fantasy managers need to know for next year, but he does give the Lions' special teams unit a boost on a weekly basis.

In a fitting end to a year that saw Williams' role expand in creative ways, he also got to throw a pass attempt in this game. Just like the rest of the night, it was a disaster, resulting in an interception. Williams was a rarely-used gadget receiver before 2024, but head coach Dan Campbell talked glowingly about his improvements heading into year three. As he often is, Campbell was right about Williams' trajectory and the No. 12 overall pick posted a true breakout season with 58 catches for 1,001 yards and seven scores. This was despite missing two games for a PED suspension. Williams also ran for 61 yards and a touchdown. Big plays were still his calling card -- he had five grabs of 50+ yards -- but Williams smoothed out his route tree and saw much more work on short and intermediate looks. Williams will continue to steal targets from Amon-Ra St. Brown in 2025, though there's no path to him outright unseating St. Brown as the team's top wideout.

St. Brown entered 2024 off the heels of a true breakout season with 119 catches for 1,515 yards. The only blemish, if you can even call it that, was a modest touchdown total of 10. Determined to do right by fantasy managers, ARSB upped the scoring total to 12 as the Detroit offense found yet another gear under Jared Goff. The downside was that his yardage total dropped by 252, primarily driven by a decline of 23 targets, despite St. Brown playing one more game than he did in 2023. Detroit threw less this year, but St. Brown also ceded a few points of target share to Jameson Williams, who finally found his stride after a rocky start to his career. St. Brown remains the team's No. 1 receiver and an elite fantasy option, but he has likely topped out at a notch below the likes of Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase.

LaPorta's 2-yard touchdown from quarterback Jared Goff briefly pushed the Lions ahead 14-10.
