Who Should I Start? Kalif Raymond or Jack Bech

Saturday, January 4, 4:23 PM

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.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wideout Jack Bech enters 2025 as a depth option in Chip Kelly's retooled offense. A second-round pick and former second-team All-Big 12 performer, Bech managed just four preseason receptions but flashed traits that have coaches intrigued. His combination of size, toughness, and ball skills make him a reliable possession target, while his body control and catch focus allow him to win contested situations. Though early-season opportunities may be limited, Bech's ability to battle defenders, track the ball downfield, and generate yards after contact could earn him a larger role as the season progresses.
