Who Should I Start? Kalif Raymond or Jahan Dotson

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.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been an inconsistent contributor in fantasy football this season, and he remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. Dotson turned in a solid two-catch, 43-yard showing last week, but he also has zero catches in two of his last four games. Dotson's floor remains quite low given his role in the Eagles' offense. As the No. 3 receiver in an offense that likes to run the ball, Dotson should only expect a couple of targets per game (at most), and most of them will be contested throws deeper downfield. Plus, his snap share has taken a step backward, as he played fewer than one-third of the snaps in each of his last two games. He is a boom-or-bust receiver who ranks outside the top 100 receivers in fantasy points this season. Even against a susceptible Dallas defense, Dotson is not a safe receiver to rely upon.
