Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) was a non-participant during Monday's practice session. Raymond suffered an ankle injury in the Week 12 win over the New York Giants and was unable to suit up for last week's contest versus the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. The fact that Raymond remains out of practice to begin the week isn't a good sign ahead of the Thursday night contest versus the Dallas Cowboys. Rookie wideout Isaac TeSlaa stepped up during their Thanksgiving loss, hauling in both his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown. The 23-year-old figures to once again have a larger role in the offense if Raymond is unable to play in Week 14, especially with top wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) also up in the air to play in Week 14.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Raymond made an early exit during Sunday's win over the New York Giants. Sadly, the 31-year-old won't have enough time to get ready before this Thanksgiving matchup. His absence should mean Isaac TeSlaa (hand) takes over as the No. 3 wideout, assuming he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Dominic Lovett might get a look. Neither are viable fantasy options heading into this game.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) missed his second practice of the week on Tuesday due to an ankle injury, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. It's looking like Raymond won't be able to play on Thanksgiving Day on Thursday when the division-rival Green Bay Packers come to town after he hurt his ankle in Sunday's overtime victory over the New York Giants. If he is unable to practice on Wednesday, Raymond will almost certainly be ruled out for Week 13, which would open up more snaps for rookie third-rounder Isaac TeSlaa. The 31-year-old Raymond has had a limited role in Detroit's offense in his fifth year with the team, catching only 15 of 19 targets for 150 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games played. He caught both of his targets in Week 12 for 37 yards, his second-best yardage output of the year.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's Week 12 contest against the New York Giants. Raymond initially exited in the third quarter and was listed as questionable before being downgraded to out. At the time of his departure, he had caught each of his two targets for a total of 37 receiving yards. He also broke off a 44-yard kick return. Isaac TeSlaa will likely step up as the Lions' No. 3 receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. The Lions return to action against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving, so Raymond will have just four days to get healthy before his next game.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond was blanked by the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11, finishing the game with zero receptions on zero targets. The 31-year-old has just 13 receptions across 10 games this season, and he's gone without a catch in four out of his last six outings. On a more positive note, Raymond played 64% of Detroit's offensive snaps against Philadelphia, his highest rate since Week 1. With Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on Injured Reserve due to a back injury, Detroit may be forced to lean more heavily on three-wide receiver sets. Raymond also gets a more favorable matchup on paper in Week 12 against the New York Giants. New York has allowed the sixth-most passing yards (2,641) in the NFL so far this season. Still, Raymond has not proven to be a consistent enough target-earner to be a fantasy-relevant producer so far this season. He remains a risky start in Week 12.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond hauled in a season-high four catches for 49 yards on four targets in his team's Week 10 win over the Washington Commanders. The 31-year-old has seen minimal usage in his team's passing game overall this season, recording 13 catches for 113 yards on 17 targets across nine games played. Raymond and the Lions will also face a significantly more difficult matchup in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, there are a couple of reasons to believe that Raymond's relative breakout may be more than just a one-week blip. For one, Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over play-calling in Week 10 from offensive coordinator John Morton, which could be a reason for Raymond's heavier usage. Additionally, the Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back) against Philadelphia, which should open up more opportunities for all of the team's secondary pass-catchers. Still, Raymond's limited ceiling makes him a desperation deep-league flex option at best in a difficult Week 11 matchup against the Eagles.

Through seven games so far in 2025, Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond has hauled in nine catches for 64 yards on 12 targets. The 31-year-old recorded a season-high three catches in Detroit's final game before its Week 8 bye, but has yet to crack 20 receiving yards in a game this season. Raymond still profiles as the Lions' WR3 ahead of rookie wideout Isaac TeSlaa, as Raymond out-snapped TeSlaa 30 to nine in Week 7. However, that role has not led to consistent fantasy production, which appears unlikely to change in the second half of the season. Detroit has a tough matchup in Week 9 against the Minnesota Vikings. Through eight weeks, Minnesota has allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards (1,428) in the NFL. Raymond should remain off the radar of fantasy managers heading into Week 9.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (personal) missed his team's Saturday practice for personal reasons, but he will not carry any designation into Detroit's Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Raymond has seen his role in the team's offense shrink over the past two weeks. He suffered a neck injury that forced him to exit Detroit's Week 5 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals early. However, he was able to suit up in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs and played just two offensive snaps. Even in what profiles as a high-scoring matchup against the Buccaneers, Raymond appears unlikely to see many opportunities in the passing game. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 7.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (neck) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. He was listed as questionable after logging back-to-back limited practices. Raymond had been a productive special teamer through the first four weeks of the season and also caught at least one pass in each of those games. However, he exited early in Week 5, finishing with a three percent snap share and zero receptions. He'll look to return to his Week 4 form, which included two catches, 13 receiving yards, and a special teams touchdown. For now, given his role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams in a crowded offense, Raymond can be left on waivers.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (neck) exited during the first half of Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. Although he was initially listed as questionable to return, he has since been downgraded to out. Raymond finishes the game with a kick return and a punt return, but no offensive targets. Grant Stuard and Jacob Saylors should handle return duties for the duration of his absence.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (neck) exited during the first half of Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had two special teams returns but had not been targeted on offense. Grant Stuard and Jacob Saylors should handle return duties for the duration of Raymond's absence.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond made his biggest play of the season on special teams in Week 4, returning a punt 65 yards for a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns. Raymond's work as a receiver has been much more subdued, as he has recorded just six catches for 47 yards on nine targets through four games. The Lions' passing game has a favorable matchup on paper in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but Raymond is likely to remain in a limited role on offense. The 31-year-old is buried on the pecking order for targets in Detroit behind wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, tight end Sam LaPorta, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Raymond should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 5.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond has recorded four catches for 34 yards on six targets through his first three games of 2025. The 31-year-old does most of his damage at this point in his career on special teams, where he is Detroit's primary punt returner. Raymond has played at least 49% of Detroit's offensive snaps in each of the team's three games so far, but he's buried on the target pecking order behind wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, tight end Sam LaPorta, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs. Raymond should remain off the radar of fantasy managers heading into a tough matchup in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond has recorded three catches for 30 yards on four targets through his first two games of 2025. Raymond has been the team's primary WR3 alongside Amon Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, but he could eventually fall behind rookie wideout Isaac TeSlaa. After playing 44 snaps in Week 1, Raymond played 32 snaps in Week 2. In contrast, TeSlaa's snap count went up by 14 plays from Week 1 to Week 2. The veteran Raymond will likely still see the field a decent amount in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens, but he should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond played ahead of rookie wideout Isaac TeSlaa in Week 1, recording two catches for 16 yards on three targets against the Green Bay Packers. That may not be the case in Week 2 against the Chicago Bears after TeSlaa's highlight-reel touchdown grab against Green Bay. Raymond has worked in a gadget/downfield role for the Lions over the past couple of seasons, which may not be as effective under new Detroit play-caller John Morton as it was under former offensive coordinator and current Bears head coach Ben Johnson. Raymond is an explosive player with the ball in his hands due to his speed, but he's not a fantasy-viable wide receiver unless the Lions suffer multiple injuries at the position.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond is entering his fifth season in Detroit and appears to be the team's WR4 behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Isaac TeSlaa. Still, the 31-year-old brings a vertical element to the offense with his speed and has consistently found the field in his time in Detroit, albeit in a limited capacity. In eight career games against the Packers, Raymond has recorded 20 catches for 302 yards and a touchdown. He may eat into the Week 1 snap share of TeSlaa, who is playing on Sunday, but was limited in practice early in the week with an illness. Raymond should not be on the radar of fantasy managers, but he should be expected to see some work in Week 1 against Green Bay.
