Who Should I Start? Kalif Raymond or Malik Washington

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) missed his second practice of the week on Tuesday due to an ankle injury, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. It's looking like Raymond won't be able to play on Thanksgiving Day on Thursday when the division-rival Green Bay Packers come to town after he hurt his ankle in Sunday's overtime victory over the New York Giants. If he is unable to practice on Wednesday, Raymond will almost certainly be ruled out for Week 13, which would open up more snaps for rookie third-rounder Isaac TeSlaa. The 31-year-old Raymond has had a limited role in Detroit's offense in his fifth year with the team, catching only 15 of 19 targets for 150 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games played. He caught both of his targets in Week 12 for 37 yards, his second-best yardage output of the year.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington hasn't been a major fantasy contributor this season, but has maintained a consistent role in the offense as a gadget piece. Washington has at least three touches in every game this season, but hasn't recorded more than six in a game. The second-year wideout has scored both of his touchdowns on the season in the past four weeks, totaling 12 catches (14 targets) for 135 yards and two touchdowns, along with four carries for 17 yards. He ranks as the WR32 in total PPR points during that time. Washington is a viable option in deeper PPR leagues thanks to his reliable floor for receptions in Miami's passing attack, and is worth adding ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
