Who Should I Start? Kalif Raymond or Roman Wilson

Sunday, October 12, 7:10 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (neck) is officially active for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. He was listed as questionable after logging back-to-back limited practices. Raymond had been a productive special teamer through the first four weeks of the season and also caught at least one pass in each of those games. However, he exited early in Week 5, finishing with a three percent snap share and zero receptions. He'll look to return to his Week 4 form, which included two catches, 13 receiving yards, and a special teams touchdown. For now, given his role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams in a crowded offense, Raymond can be left on waivers.

Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said there could be more opportunities for Roman Wilson and the team's other receivers going forward, depending on the health of Calvin Austin III (shoulder), who left the Week 4 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Ireland with a shoulder injury. Wilson had played at least 17% of the offensive snaps in the first three weeks of the season, but that number fell to 6% in Sunday's win over Minnesota. The 24-year-old hasn't been targeted in three of four games this year, catching one of his two targets for seven yards in the Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Pittsburgh has its bye in Week 5, so it's entirely possible that Austin will be ready to go in Week 6 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns, thus relegating Wilson to a low-volume role yet again.
