Who Should I Start? Kalif Raymond or Arian Smith

Sunday, October 12, 7:10 PM

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.

New York Jets wide receiver Arian Smith should see the field more in Week 6 when his team takes on the Denver Broncos at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. The rookie has amassed just five targets and four catches through five games in 2025. However, with the news that teammate Allen Lazard (personal) will be ruled out this Sunday, Smith should get a bit of extra run behind fellow wideouts Josh Reynolds and Garrett Wilson. The path to fantasy relevance is narrow, particularly with tight end Mason Taylor carving out a significant target share from quarterback Justin Fields. Still, New York may be forced to air it out a bit more with Denver's defense allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game to opposing ground attacks (88.4). Smith isn't an option in season-long lineup leagues, but he's worth monitoring for dynasty purposes. The former Georgia Bulldog is RotoBaller's PPR WR116 for his matchup with the Broncos.
