Who Should I Start? Kalif Raymond or Chimere Dike

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has missed each of his team's last two games after suffering an ankle injury in Week 12. However, the 31-year-old was able to log three limited practices this week and is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Across 11 games this season, Raymond has hauled in 15 catches for 150 yards on 19 targets. Still, he's worked as Detroit's WR3 alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams when healthy. In his absence, Lions rookie wideout Isaac TeSlaa has stepped up and recorded touchdowns in back-to-back weeks. TeSlaa's recent surge could mean fewer reps for Raymond, even if he's healthy enough to play. Raymond should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 15.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike scored his third receiving touchdown of the season in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns. Dike has played a near full-time role in the Titans' offense since Week 8, totaling 21 receptions for 188 yards and two touchdowns on 33 targets over that stretch. The rookie fourth-rounder's two best performances of the season came in back-to-back games in Weeks 7 and 8, catching four passes on four targets for 70 yards against the Patriots before following it up with seven receptions on eight targets for 93 yards against the Colts. Dike hasn't surpassed 50 yards in the five games since. He profiles as a deep league flex option in Week 15 against a San Francisco 49ers defense that ranks 21st in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers.
