Who Should I Start? Khalif Raymond or Trey McBride

The Detroit Lions activated wide receiver Kalif Raymond (foot) and linebacker Alex Anzalone (forearm) from injured reserve on Saturday. Raymond had been sidelined ever since Week 12, and he's expected to remain behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Tim Patrick in the pecking order upon his return this weekend. He caught just 16 passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns through the 11 games for which he was healthy this season, and he remains off the fantasy radar in all leagues. Meanwhile, Anzalone is back from a six-week absence. He contributed 56 tackles and one sack when healthy, and his return provides a major boost to a Lions defense that has been decimated by injuries in 2024.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride put an exclamation point on his Pro Bowl season, scoring a receiving touchdown in his second straight game during the win over the San Francisco 49ers. McBride's official stat line was seven catches for 65 yards and a touchdown. McBride is the clear leader of the Cardinals' passing game and had arguably the best season by a tight end in franchise history. He was one of the best positional advantages for fantasy managers all season and will be an early target in fantasy drafts next year.
