Who Should I Start? Khalif Raymond or Chase Brown

Saturday, October 26, 9:14 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond is projected to have an increased role over the next two weeks as teammate Jameson Williams serves a suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing substance policy. Raymond had already started to see an uptick in production with Williams on the field, catching seven passes for 112 yards and one touchdown over his last two games. Still, he was only running roughly one-third of the offensive snaps over those two weeks, but that number should jump with Williams off the field. Raymond and Tim Patrick will presumably compete for the No. 2 receiver role behind Amon-Ra St. Brown until Williams is eligible to return. For the time being, Raymond is only startable in deep fantasy leagues.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 32 yards off 12 carries in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. He added two catches for two yards. While Brown had trouble getting anything going on the ground, he at least found the end zone in Week 8, scoring off a four-yard run in the third quarter. Even more encouraging for Brown's fantasy managers, Zack Moss would finish this one with only five attempts. The 24-year-old has now had at least one touchdown in five of the Bengals' last six outings, keeping him a starting fantasy option in Week 9 versus the visiting Las Vegas Raiders.
