Lions WR Kalif Raymond (ankle) is questionable for Detroit's Week 15 game against the Rams.He got in three limited practices this week. Raymond carries almost zero stand-alone fantasy value, but his return could put a crimp in Isaac TeSlaa's contributions against the Rams. Even with touchdown catches in his last two weeks, TeSlaa would be a low-floor start against a good Rams pass defense.
Lions WR Kalif Raymond (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.Raymond practiced in a limited fashion for the first time since suffering his ankle injury in Week 12. The 31-year-old barely maintains fantasy relevance, with a 4/49 line going for his best of the season. However, when he is active, he tends to take routes from the rookie touchdown-generator Isaac TeSlaa. Neither Raymond or TeSlaa are surefire fantasy plays, but fantasy managers should move TeSlaa out of their deep league lineups if Raymond plays Week 15 against the Rams.
Jared Goff completed 25-of-34 passes for 309 yards and one touchdown in the Lions' 44-30, Week 14 win over the Cowboys.On a night that saw the Lions score four times on the ground, Goff aired it out for his second 300-yard game of the season while leading three pass-catchers to 75-plus yards on the day. Goff saw five of his receptions go for 25 or more yards on the day, with his longest throw coming on a 37-yard pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown that helped set up a touchdown run by Jahmyr Gibbs on the following play to put the game out of reach. Goff's lone touchdown pass on the day came in the third quarter on a 12-yard throw to rookie Isaac TeSlaa, who nearly hauled in another touchdown later in the day. It wasn't the biggest fantasy day for Goff, but he did everything we expected against a porous Cowboys secondary. The Lions continue to fight for their playoff lives and now draw a tough Week 15 matchup against the Rams, where he will profile as a fringe QB1.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Out Again TuesdayLions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) remained sidelined for Tuesday's practice. He said afterward that he's still uncertain whether he'll be able to play vs. the Cowboys on Thursday night. I m not sure right now, if I m being honest," St. Brown said. "It s still up in the air. I ma try to be out there for the guys, for my teammates, but I couldn t answer that question right now. We'll see how St. Brown is listed on tomorrow's final injury report, but fantasy owners should not be counting on him playing vs. Dallas. WR Kalif Raymond (ankle) is also expected to miss Week 14, HC Dan Campbell said. That'll leave Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa, and Tom Kennedy as Detroit's top three WRs, if St. Brown is out.
Lions coach Dan Campbell said Kalif Raymond (ankle) will not play in Detroit's Week 14 game against the Cowboys.Since suffering this ankle injury in Week 12, Raymond has not yet practiced. Isaac TeSlaa took over as the third wideout last week and scored despite seeing just two targets. TeSlaa has already proven himself a big-play threat, but his target volume is so low he'll be hard to trust in a FLEX spot.
