Who Should I Start? Khalif Raymond or Deandre Carter

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (knee) has been ruled out for the Divisional Round of the playoffs on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Raymond also missed the wild-card win over the Los Angeles Rams last weekend after he injured his knee in the Week 18 regular season finale. The 29-year-old wouldn't have really been on the fantasy radar for DFS contests this weekend if he was active, and the Lions will likely miss him most on special teams. It remains to be seen if Raymond would be ready to play in the NFC Championship if Detroit advances past the Bucs. With Raymond out again, second-year wideout Jameson Williams will have a bigger role as Detroit's No. 3 behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds. Fantasy managers shouldn't have high hopes for Williams unless he can break one of his few touches for an explosive touchdown-scoring play.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver DeAndre Carter (knee) is expected to debut with his new squad on Sunday against the Broncos. The journeyman wideout, who signed with Vegas in March, has recently been burdened by a knee issue. But it appears he's good to go for Week 1. Carter is coming off his most productive year, catching 46 passes for 538 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games with the Chargers. However, he won't have Justin Herbert slinging him the ball, so he's hard to take seriously from a fantasy standpoint, even more so with Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers, and Hunter Renfrow in the picture.
