Kalif Raymond Not Worth Starting in Week 7

Saturday, October 18, 11:26 PM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (personal) missed his team's Saturday practice for personal reasons, but he will not carry any designation into Detroit's Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. Raymond has seen his role in the team's offense shrink over the past two weeks. He suffered a neck injury that forced him to exit Detroit's Week 5 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals early. However, he was able to suit up in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs and played just two offensive snaps. Even in what profiles as a high-scoring matchup against the Buccaneers, Raymond appears unlikely to see many opportunities in the passing game. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 7.

Troy Franklin Getting More Involved

Monday, October 27, 9:26 PM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin is beginning to build more chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix. Over the last two games, Franklin has seen 18 targets and hauled in nine receptions for 100-plus yards with three touchdowns. The 22-year-old posted a few decent games early in the season, but has really come alive as of late. The two-score effort on Sunday will make Franklin the top waiver priority in plenty of fantasy formats. The six-catch contest in Week 8 was the most for Franklin since Week 2. He has shown an ability to make plays and figures to be a viable flex option going forward.
