Who Should I Start? Khalif Raymond or River Cracraft

Friday, January 19, 4:00 PM

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.

Free-agent wide receiver River Cracraft announced on social media that he re-signed an undisclosed deal with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday. Cracraft will return to Miami in 2024 for his third year with the team. In the last two seasons in South Beach, he had 18 receptions on 26 targets for 223 yards and three touchdowns in 21 regular-season games (one start) while providing receiver depth behind Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, and Erik Ezukanma. The 29-year-old has had his share of injuries as well and will be completely off the fantasy radar this fall. Cracraft entered the NFL in 2018 with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent out of Washington State and has 25 career catches for 308 yards and three scores on 37 targets in his six NFL campaigns.
