Detroit Lions wide receiver Tim Patrick has just 10 catches for 165 yards this season. However, with Jameson Williams (suspension) out for the next few games, Patrick is starting to gain attention from fantasy managers heading into the Week 8 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. Without question, it will be business as usual for Amon-Ra St. Brown, who has a touchdown in each of the last four games. Yet, Patrick is worth considering for streaming purposes for those taking part in deeper fantasy formats. Kalif Raymond, coming off a three-catch, 39-yard, one-touchdown showing versus the Vikings, could also benefit from Williams' absence.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond is projected to have an increased role over the next two weeks as teammate Jameson Williams serves a suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing substance policy. Raymond had already started to see an uptick in production with Williams on the field, catching seven passes for 112 yards and one touchdown over his last two games. Still, he was only running roughly one-third of the offensive snaps over those two weeks, but that number should jump with Williams off the field. Raymond and Tim Patrick will presumably compete for the No. 2 receiver role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown until Williams is eligible to return. For the time being, Raymond is only startable in deep fantasy leagues.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is not appealing his two-game suspension and will miss the Week 8 game against the Tennessee Titans and Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers. Williams is being sidelined for violating the league's policy against performance-enhancing substances. This is an unfortunate development for the former Alabama wideout who is having the best season of his career. Through six games, Williams has racked up 17 receptions for 361 yards and three touchdowns. In his absence, wide receivers Kalif Raymond, Tim Patrick, and perhaps Allen Robinson II will see enhanced roles. That said, tight end Sam LaPorta and running back Jahmyr Gibbs could also see more targets. Amon-Ra St. Brown should remain the clear target hog in the Detroit offense led by Jared Goff.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (knee) is practicing on Wednesday, according to head coach Dan Campbell. The 27-year-old is dealing with a knee contusion and briefly exited last week's win against the Minnesota Vikings before returning. His participation in practice is promising for his Week 8 availability against the Tennessee Titans, but fantasy managers should monitor his status throughout the week. Montgomery had his worst fantasy outing of the season in Week 7, posting just 6.5 half-PPR points. He posted at least 14.5 half-PPR points in each of his first five games and should continue to be started in 12-plus team leagues. Although the Tennessee Titans have had one of the best defenses in the NFL up to this point, the Lions' offense is potent, and Montgomery has a great role as a primary goal-line rusher.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is facing a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, according to sources. It's more bad news for Williams' fantasy managers after he caught his only target for negative-four yards in the big divisional win in Week 7 over the Minnesota Vikings. It was the second time in six games this year Williams recorded just one catch in a game, but he also has three receiving touchdowns and has gone over 76 receiving yards four times as a boom/bust deep threat for Detroit. The 23-year-old speedy pass-catcher will obviously be off the board the next two weeks for fantasy managers, while second-year tight end Sam LaPorta could finally break out of his slump as a field-stretcher. With Williams out the next two weeks, Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond should be more involved alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown.
