Who Should I Start? Kalif Raymond or Malik Washington

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond has recorded three catches for 30 yards on four targets through his first two games of 2025. Raymond has been the team's primary WR3 alongside Amon Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams, but he could eventually fall behind rookie wideout Isaac TeSlaa. After playing 44 snaps in Week 1, Raymond played 32 snaps in Week 2. In contrast, TeSlaa's snap count went up by 14 plays from Week 1 to Week 2. The veteran Raymond will likely still see the field a decent amount in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens, but he should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington saw several designed touches on Thursday night against the Buffalo Bills. Washington recorded three catches for 12 yards on five targets as a receiver and added two carries for 20 yards out of the backfield. The second-year wideout has been a consistent piece in Miami's offense through the team's first three games. For the season, he's logged six catches for 34 yards and rushed for 52 yards on six attempts. Washington's gadget role has not yet led to fantasy-relevant production. Still, he could be a name to monitor in deep leagues, particularly if Miami eventually trades away wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
