Who Should I Start? Kalif Raymond or Kendrick Bourne

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.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (undisclosed) will not practice this week, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. According to Vrabel, Bourne "got rolled up" during practice last Friday and will be sidelined as he tends to his injury. The team has not elaborated on the nature of the injury, but Bourne was seen without his left cleat on after getting hurt on Friday. Bourne is locked in a training camp battle in a crowded receiver room, so the missed time will not help his cause. Even if he does make the team out of training camp, Bourne will not be on the radar for fantasy leagues.
