Should I Start Tom Kennedy?

Tom Kennedy Pressed into Service in Detroit in Week 13, Set for Increased Role Going Forward?

Friday, November 28, 11:33 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Tom Kennedy played an unlikely role in his team's offense in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers, hauling in four catches for 36 yards on four targets. The 29-year-old has spent most of the 2025 season on the Lions' practice squad, but he was signed to the active roster heading into Week 13 with wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) sidelined by an ankle injury. Raymond's return timeline is unclear, and the Lions also lost wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) to injury in Week 13. That could force Kennedy into a meaningful role in Detroit alongside wide receivers Jameson Williams and Isaac TeSlaa, at least in the short term. Kennedy has appeared in 25 career NFL games across five different seasons, all with Detroit. He's recorded 18 catches for 231 yards on 30 targets. In the very deepest of fantasy leagues, Kennedy could be worth a look on the waiver wire heading into the Lions' Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
