Who Should I Start? Kalif Raymond or Hunter Renfrow

The Detroit Lions activated wide receiver Kalif Raymond (foot) and linebacker Alex Anzalone (forearm) from injured reserve on Saturday. Raymond had been sidelined ever since Week 12, and he's expected to remain behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Tim Patrick in the pecking order upon his return this weekend. He caught just 16 passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns through the 11 games for which he was healthy this season, and he remains off the fantasy radar in all leagues. Meanwhile, Anzalone is back from a six-week absence. He contributed 56 tackles and one sack when healthy, and his return provides a major boost to a Lions defense that has been decimated by injuries in 2024.

Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow signed an undisclosed deal with the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. After a year away from the NFL, the ex-Pro Bowler and Clemson star will link up with his hometown team after the NFL draft. In his last season in the league in 2023, the former fifth-round pick (149th overall) caught a career-low 25 passes on 37 targets for 255 yards and no touchdowns in 17 games (three starts) with the Raiders. Renfrow made his one and only Pro Bowl in 2021, when he set career-highs in catches (103), targets (128), receiving yards (1,038) and touchdowns (nine) in 17 games (nine starts). The 29-year-old pass-catcher will give the Panthers another veteran wideout alongside Adam Thielen, but if Carolina's receiving corps stays healthy, he'll likely be the WR4, at best, behind Thielen, Xavier Legette and rookie Tetairoa McMillan.
