Who Should I Start? Khalif Raymond or Tre'Quan Smith

Wednesday, November 27, 11:23 AM

The Detroit Lions have placed wide receiver Kalif Raymond (foot) on injured reserve, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Raymond suffered the injury last Sunday and could miss the minimum four games before returning in Week 17. At the very latest, Detroit expects to have him back for the NFL playoffs. The 30-year-old receiver has played in 11 games this season, catching 16 passes for 204 yards and three touchdowns. Fantasy managers can stay away from Raymond as long as both Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams remain healthy down the stretch.

The Denver Broncos signed free-agent wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (groin) to their practice squad on Tuesday and waived cornerback Essang Bassey and released wide receiver Michael Bandy from the practice squad in corresponding moves. Smith began the season on Injured Reserve with the New Orleans Saints due to a groin injury he suffered in training camp, but he's apparently healthy now and will have another opportunity in Denver as he reunites with his former head coach Sean Payton. The 27-year-old remains well off the fantasy radar for now. In his five seasons with the Saints since 2018, Smith has put up 131 receptions (196 targets) for 1,764 yards and 18 touchdowns in 66 games (35 starts). He had just 19 catches for 278 yards and one score in 15 games (six starts) in 2022.
