Kalif Raymond Fantasy

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond should be back in the offensive mix heading into the team's Week 6 matchup against the Bengals. The Lions were already down Tyrell Williams (concussion) to start the season and then lost Quintez Cephus (collarbone) last week. Raymond's value had been on the rise recently but failed to catch a pass in Week 5. The Bengals are allowing the 15th most fantasy points to opposing receivers and Raymond suddenly finds himself as the 1/2 receiver on the team. The slot receiver should see a healthy amount of targets but is not worth a fantasy play in Week 6.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond failed to catch a pass in the Lions 19-17 loss to the Vikings in Week 5. It was a disappointing effort after the slot receiver posted at least 40 receiving yards in three of his first four games this season. Raymond also was coming off a two-touchdown performance against the Bears in Week 4 but was nowhere to be found in this game. Raymond will try and bounce back playing in a mediocre Lions offense next week.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond will try and continue his pursuit to be the team's WR1 heading into Week 5. Raymond scored two touchdowns last week and has posted 14 catches for 182 yards through the first four weeks. The slot receiver has created a solid rapport with quarterback Jared Goff playing in an offense bereft of wide receiver options. Raymond will face a Vikings secondary that is allowing the 13th most fantasy points to opposing receivers, including three 100-yard receiving games and six touchdowns to the position. Raymond could be used as a FLEX play in deeper formats but lacks true starting fantasy potential at this time.
