Scores on flea flicker
Raymond caught two of three targets for 46 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 37-31 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: Raymond got loose for a 36-yard touchdown on a flea flicker but didn't make much noise otherwise. Averaging 22.0 yards on his three catches this season, Raymond will likely remain a low-volume deep threat despite the absence of Jameson Williams (suspension) entering a Week 3 matchup with Atlanta.

Snags 20-yard pass
Raymond caught one pass (one target) for 20 yards during Thursday's 21-20 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Raymond only saw one look in what ended up being a much slower-paced game than expected. Meanwhile, Josh Reynolds operated as the clear No. 2 receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown while Marvin Jones handled the No. 3 role. Even though Raymond has the ability to pop for a big play or two on any given week, he won't even be worth a dart throw in DFS formats if he is the No. 6 receiving option behind the top wide receivers plus tight end Sam LaPorta and running back Jahmyr Gibbs.

Signs two-year extension
Raymond agreed to a two-year extension with the Lions on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Raymond's contributions come primarily on special teams. He has topped 200 punt return yards in each of the past three seasons and scored one punt-return touchdown in 2022. Raymond also provides Detroit with depth at wide receiver, having compiled 1,192 receiving yards and four touchdowns in his previous two seasons with the Lions.

Staying busy this spring
Raymond has been active at OTAs as both a wide receiver and return man, Mike O'Hara of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Raymond bounced around the league for a half-decade before settling in with Detroit the past two seasons and catching 95 passes for 1,192 yards and four touchdowns over 33 games (21 starts). He's never truly been viewed as a starter but has ended up playing a lot on offense due to injuries ahead of him, and he's also been one of the better punt returner during that time, averaging 11.2 yards on 21 returns in 2021 and 13.2 yards on 20 chances in 2022. Raymond turns 29 in August and seems…read more

Plays through broken ribs
Raymond told reporters Monday that he played the second half of Sunday's win over the Packers with broken ribs, Eric Woodyard of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's unclear when Raymond suffered the injury, but he said it happened sometime during the first half, which means he made arguably the play of the night -- a 43-yard catch in the third quarter to set up the first touchdown of the game -- with broken ribs. The big play helped pave the way for the undrafted wideout out of Holy Cross to lead the Lions in receiving as they upset their divisional rival and kept Green Bay out of the playoffs. Raymond, who has one year remaining on his contract with…read more

Leads team in receiving Sunday
Raymond caught four of six targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over Green Bay.
Analysis: Raymond finished as the Lions' leading receiver in a game during which No. 1 wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (6-49-0) struggled to break free against the Packers' elite secondary. The veteran wideout carved out a nice role with Detroit this season, finishing with 51 receptions and 682 receiving yards, both of which set new high-water marks for his career. However, with Jameson Williams set to see an expanded role, it is uncertain if Raymond will have the opportunity to build upon this season during…read more

Another handful of catches
Raymond caught three of three targets for 40 yards during Sunday's 41-10 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Raymond found the most success through the air among Lions depth receivers, but his low-volume role continues to prove much more valuable in real life than fantasy. Raymond will be back on the field in a Week 18 matchup with the Packers.

Totals 64 yards
Raymond brought in his only target for 56 yards while rushing once for eight yards during Saturday's loss to the Panthers.
Analysis: Remaining in the No. 4 role at wideout, Raymond made a huge play to get the Lions into scoring position at one point. He also had a longer run than any of Detroit's running backs, displaying how tough of a day it was for the Lions on the ground. Next up for Raymond is a Week 17 matchup with the Bears.

Two grabs against Vikings
Raymond secured two of two targets for 19 yards during Sunday's win over Minnesota.
Analysis: After seeing a massive role reduction last week in the return of Josh Reynolds and the pro debut of Jameson Williams, Raymond saw another dip in playing time Sunday at the benefit of Williams. With Reynolds likely to maintain his spot as the No. 3 wideout given his productivity in the offense this year, Raymond stands to lose more and more snaps if Detroit wants to keep getting more out of Williams.

Active in Week 14
Raymond (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: After a week in which he was capped at one limited practice Friday due to an illness, Raymond will be available to the Lions offense for the 13th time in as many contests this season. Having said that, his workload has experienced a drastic reduction with DJ Chark again operating at full capacity and rookie first-rounder Jameson Williams making his pro debut last Sunday. Consequently, Raymond may have to take advantage of his sparse targets, which so far have gone for 8.3 YPT in 2022.

Questionable, likely to play Sunday
Raymond (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: After sitting out the Lions' first two practice sessions of the week, Raymond returned to the field Friday in a limited capacity. While Raymond wasn't able to avoid taking a designation into the weekend, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press relays that the receiver is expected to play. However, with the Lions' receiving corps at close to full strength and with rookie first-round Jameson Williams likely to see at least a slight uptick in opportunities after playing only eight snaps on offense…read more

Remains sidelined at practice
Raymond (illness) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: The Lions have held Raymond out of both sessions so far to begin Week 14 prep, giving him just one more chance to take part in drills before the team potentially hands him a designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Even if he's able to suit up this weekend, though, he's taken a fall down Detroit's WR depth chart with the recent debut of rookie first-round pick Jameson Williams. All of Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark, Josh Reynolds and Williams appear to be ahead of Raymond at the position.

Misses practice with illness
Raymond missed Wednesday's practice due to an illness.
Analysis: Raymond has a few days to get healthy before Sunday's matchup with Minnesota, though he's only the fourth or fifth wide receiver now that DJ Chark, Jameson Williams and Josh Reynolds all are healthy. Chark and Reynolds saw most of the playing time alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown in Sunday's win over Jacksonville, with Raymond playing only 13 snaps and Williams taking eight in his NFL debut. Prior to that, Raymond had played more than three-fourths of Detroit's offensive snaps in seven straight…read more

Taking backseat
Raymond caught two of two targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 40-14 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Raymond logged just 16 percent of the offensive snaps with Josh Reynolds (79) and Jameson Williams (11) getting back to full health. With Williams' role only set to grow, Raymond could be the odd man out going forward. Up next for the group is a Week 14 matchup with Minnesota.

Totals 35 yards
Raymond caught four of six targets for 35 yards during Thursday's 28-25 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: Despite DJ Chark (73 percent of offensive snaps) returning to a prominent role in his second game back from an injury, Raymond (79 percent) remained a fixture in the lineup alongside No. 1 wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (88 percent). However, Raymond yet again came a long ways from producing a fantasy-worthy line, and he remains without a touchdown this season. With Jameson Williams (knee) a threat to steal snaps in the coming weeks, no fantasy managers should be counting on Raymond for statistical…read more

Three catches against Giants
Raymond caught three of seven targets for 33 yards during Sunday's 31-18 win over the Giants.
Analysis: The return of DJ Chark (ankle) corresponded with Raymond matching his season high in targets, but Raymond put up the lowest yardage of any game this season in which he had at least four looks. However, until Chark and/or Jameson Williams (knee) is up to speed in the offense, Raymond won't be hurting for snaps. Next up is a Week 12 matchup with Buffalo.

Catches three passes
Raymond secured three of three targets for 47 yards during Sunday's 31-30 win over Chicago.
Analysis: The 5-foot-7 wideout led all Detroit receivers in playing time with 49 snaps on offense, but he was a secondary target for Jared Goff behind Amon-Ra St. Brown. Raymond also has yet to find the end zone while only being targeted twice within the red zone all season. Even though he should maintain his high slotting on the depth chart in the continued absences of DJ Chark (ankle), Jameson Williams (knee) and Josh Reynolds (back), Raymond has not shown much upside in his six games with a prominent…read more

Low production against Packers
Raymond caught three of three targets for 17 yards during Sunday's 15-9 win over Green Bay.
Analysis: With Josh Reynolds (back), DJ Chark (ankle) and Quintez Cephus (foot) sidelined, Raymond again logged nearly every offensive snap alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown. While this is Raymond's lowest output since he started becoming a big part of the offense Week 4, Detroit somehow only needed to throw 26 times to win against a Green Bay defense that is stronger against the pass than the run. Raymond should have a good chance to rebound Week 10 against Chicago, especially if Reynolds remains out.

Another productive outing
Raymond caught three of four targets for 76 yards during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: While he has yet to find the end zone in 2022, Raymond again is putting together a solid campaign as a role player for an injury-ravaged Lions receiving corps. Even though Amon-Ra St. Brown and D'Andre Swift are back in commission to steal targets, Raymond should continue to handle a large amount of snaps for Detroit while DJ Chark (ankle) and Jameson Williams (knee) get back into game shape. Up next is a Week 9 matchup against a Packers secondary that is allowing the second-fewest passing…read more

Raymond caught five of six targets for 75 yards during Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: With DJ Chark (absence) sidelined, the second-quarter injury to Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) effectively threw Raymond into the No. 2 wideout role behind Josh Reynolds. Raymond not only delivered from a receiving standpoint, but he also threw a memorable block at one point as well. With Chark set to miss to miss at least the next three games and Jameson Williams (knee) still on the NFI list, Raymond could again play a significant role on offense depending on whether St. Brown can clear…read more

Snags five passes
Raymond caught five of seven targets for 45 yards during Sunday's 29-0 loss to New England.
Analysis: Despite Amon-Ra St. Brown returning for this game, the absences of DJ Chark (ankle) and Quintez Cephus (foot) allowed Raymond to log a new season high in snaps. While he put together a modestly productive fantasy outing in PPR contexts, the 5-foot-8 Raymond didn't do any real damage to a Patriots defense that kept the Lions in their own territory for most of the game. With Chark possibly returning after Detroit's Week 6 bye, Raymond could easily return to seeing limited opportunities.

Heightened offensive role
Raymond caught three of five targets for 38 yards during Sunday's 48-45 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Raymond saw a jump in playing time with both Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and DJ Chark (ankle) out of commission. However, he didn't play much of a role in this high-scoring affair despite seeing a handful of opportunities. Raymond could easily return to seeing single-digit offensive snaps if St. Brown or Chark are able to make it back for Detroit's Week 5 game in New England.

First catch of year
Raymond secured his only target for four yards during Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Raymond yet again operated as the clear No. 4 receiver. While he could become a bigger part of the passing game if Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) or D'Andre Swift (shoulder/ankle) need to miss time, Raymond would remain unlikely to see enough volume to be a considerable fantasy option.

Logs minimal playing time
Raymond saw two targets but did not record a catch during Sunday's 38-35 loss to Philadelphia.
Analysis: Each of Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark and Josh Reynolds logged at least 55 offensive snaps, leaving just a few to spare for Raymond and Quintez Cephus. While Raymond still earned two targets on his seven snaps, he didn't do anything with them. As long as everyone stays healthy, there is no reason to think that his playing time or production could spike in anytime soon.

Brief preseason appearance
Raymond caught two of three targets for 10 yards during Saturday's preseason win over Indianapolis.
Analysis: After catching a bomb from Tim Boyle in the preseason opener, Raymond saw a little bit of action in the first quarter this week. Given how quickly it took for his day to be done, Raymond seems like the clear No. 4 receiver for the Lions behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark and Josh Reynolds. While Jameson Williams (knee) will be in the fold before long and Quintez Cephus (leg) could make a case for a roster spot in the preseason finale, Raymond seems ticketed for another year in Detroit, where he…read more

Sticking with Detroit
Raymond is re-signing with the Lions, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Raymond is a 27-year-old journeyman who made 14 starts for Detroit last season and finished with career highs across the board (48-576-4 on 71 targets). He'll be back with the Lions, but there's significant danger of slipping down the depth chart, especially after the team reached an agreement earlier Tuesday with former Jags wideout D.J. Chark. Prior to that, the Lions signed Josh Reynolds to a two-year extension, giving them another experienced option behind Chark and second-year receiver…read more

Scores on trick play
Raymond caught four passes for 101 yards and one touchdown on five targets against Green Bay on Sunday.
Analysis: Raymond's box score was mostly propelled by a 75-yard touchdown on a trick play from wideout Tom Kennedy, with the former's speed a major reason why the play succeeded. While he might see less playing time in 2022 even if he re-signs with the Lions, Raymond deserves credit for catching 48 receptions for 576 yards and four touchdowns on 71 targets (67.6 percent catch rate, 8.1 yards per target) despite dealing with shaky quarterback play. Even if he's more of a backup than a starter in 2022,…read more

Analysis: Raymond missed Sunday's loss to the Seahawks after being placed on the COVID-19 list last week, but he's now back on the active roster ahead of the season finale. The 27-year-old has 44 receptions for 475 yards and three touchdowns this season, and he should work as Detroit's No. 3 wide receiver this weekend against the Packers behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds.

Raymond (illness) won't be available for Sunday's game in Seattle after the Lions didn't activate him from the reserve/COVID-19 list prior to Saturday's deadline for week 17 roster moves, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: Raymond was placed on the list Thursday after testing positive for the virus, so he never seemed likely to test out of the NFL's COVID-19 protocol prior to Sunday's contest. With Josh Reynolds (illness) also sidelined Week 17 after testing positive for the virus Monday, the Lions won't have much in the way of established depth behind No. 1 wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown.

Second Detroit WR on COVID-19 list
The Lions placed Raymond on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
Analysis: Raymond becomes the second Detroit receiver to go on the list this week, joining Josh Reynolds. The 27-year-old theoretically has a chance to test out of the protocol before Sunday's game against the Seahawks if he's vaccinated and asymptomatic of the virus, but he'll most likely miss his first game of the season, given the timing of his placement on the list.

Another forgettable stat line
Raymond caught three of five targets for 12 yards while rushing once for five yards during Sunday's 20-16 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis: Playing through a shoulder injury, Raymond remained the third wheel behind Amon-Ra St. Brown (11 targets) and Josh Reynolds (seven) in the passing game. Only St. Brown managed any meaningful production with backup QB Tim Boyle, who struggled to complete passes down the field. Even if Jared Goff (COVID-19) manages to return in Week 17 against Seattle, Raymond will remain an inadvisable fantasy option.

Will play Sunday
Raymond (shoulder) will play Sunday against the Falcons.
Analysis: Raymond was able to practice in a limited capacity all week, so his ability to suit up isn't unexpected. Raymond has had an inconsistent season with spiked weeks occasionally, but mostly subpar results. With Jared Goff on the COVID list and Tim Boyle drawing the start, Raymond's chances of a better-than-usual outings are reduced. The last time Boyle started in Week 11 against the Browns, Raymond played 70 percent of the snaps on offense and tallied one target with no receptions.

Detroit lists Raymond (shoulder) as questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta.
Analysis: Raymond was able to practice in a limited capacity all week, which seemingly bodes well for his chances of getting the green light to play Sunday, despite his designation. Since raising eyebrows with a six-catch, 115-yard outing Week 7 against the Rams, Raymond has failed to come anywhere close to reaching those marks in any of his subsequent seven outings, combining to produce a 15-129-1 receiving line over 22 targets.

Reps capped Thursday
Raymond (shoulder) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: For the second day in a row, Raymond and fellow wideout Josh Reynolds (thigh) had their reps capped in practice. So long as the two receivers are able to practice again in some fashion Friday, Raymond and Reynolds should be on track to play Sunday in Atlanta, though one or both could carry a questionable tag into the contest. Raymond has played 60-plus percent of the Lions' offensive snaps in all but one of his 14 appearances this season, putting together a 41-463-3 receiving line on 61 targets.

Raymond was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Raymond secured two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, but he apparently sustained the shoulder injury at some point during the matchup. The severity of the issue isn't yet clear, but Tom Kennedy and KhaDarel Hodge could be called upon to play more snaps at receiver if Raymond is sidelined this weekend against Atlanta.

Two catches against Cardinals
Raymond caught two of three targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 30-12 win over Arizona.
Analysis: Raymond saw just as much playing time as Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds, but he was the odd man out in terms of production. With St. Brown thriving underneath and Josh Reynolds more effective down the field, it wouldn't be a surprise if Raymond's production remains modest down the stretch. Accordingly, Raymond is not a recommended fantasy option in any format entering Week 16 against Atlanta, especially now that Jared Goff (COVID-19) could miss time.

Finds end zone in Denver
Raymond caught four of five targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: He provided Detroit's lone highlight of the day, catching a seven-yard score in the second quarter. Raymond hadn't gotten into the end zone since Week 4 and hasn't reached 40 yards in a game since Week 7, giving him little fantasy appeal heading into a Week 15 clash with the Cardinals.

Analysis: Raymond saw a couple of targets in the first half but wasn't heard from again after that. Meanwhile, Amon-Ra St. Brown paced the team with 10 receptions on 12 targets for 86 yards while Josh Reynolds operated as the top perimeter option. Perhaps Raymond can become more productive as a tertiary threat going forward, but thus far he hasn't done much as a receiver since Reynolds came to town.

Taking backseat to Reynolds
Raymond caught three of four targets for 16 yards during Thursday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.
Analysis: Raymond again did little with the opportunities he saw. Meanwhile, Josh Reynolds -- who caught three passes for 70 yards and a score -- continues to rise to the top of the depth chart. Considering Raymond was hardly a fantasy option when he was the Lions' No. 1 receiver, his floor will probably get even lower if Reynolds continues on as Jared Goff's top option.

No catches in Cleveland
Raymond failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's 13-10 loss to Cleveland.
Analysis: On a dreary day in Cleveland, Raymond wasn't able to get anything going with backup quarterback Tim Boyle, who was replacing Jared Goff (ribs) for at least one week. If Goff remains out in Week 12 against Chicago, Raymond won't be anywhere on the fantasy radar, though he is hardly anything more than an afterthought with Goff under center anyway.

Raymond caught four of six targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 16-16 tie with Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Raymond and the rest of the Lions' pass catchers struggled to get anything going Sunday with Jared Goff throwing for a dismal 114 yards. The wideout played 65 percent of Detroit's offensive snaps, marking his second-lowest percentage of the season. Raymond's six targets, however, were tied for the team high in the contest. The 27-year-old will look to bounce back when the Lions square off against the Browns in Week 11.

Lays goose egg
Raymond was targeted once but he did not record a catch during Sunday's 44-6 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: Coming off a 100-yard outing against the Rams, Raymond laid a goose egg against a previously beatable Eagles defense. However, tough coverage from cornerback Darius Slay certainly played a role, not to mention the fact that only nine of Jared Goff's 34 pass attempts were directed at wide receivers. Considering he entered the week averaging 5.6 targets per game, Raymond should see a heavier workload in Week 10 against Pittsburgh when Detroit returns from its Week 9 bye.

Gets praise from QB
Raymond is stepping up as one of the Lions' top receiving options in the absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion) and Quintez Cephus (collarbone), Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports. "I love getting him the ball as much as I can and I'm starting to build a good rapport with him," quarterback Jared Goff said of Raymond.
Analysis: With Cephus likely done for the season and Williams out indefinitely, only Amon-Ra St. Brown remains to challenge Raymond for consistent targets among the Lions' wide receivers. Of course, tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back D'Andre Swift are still the focal points of the passing game, but Raymond has nonetheless totaled 15 targets in two games since Cephus went down, while St. Brown drew seven. Given how often the winless Lions need to throw the ball, it's possible this heightened usage…read more

Raymond caught six receptions for 115 yards on eight targets against the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Raymond has made some impressive plays over the past few weeks, but Sunday's game might be the best of his career to this point. Quarterback Jared Goff rarely makes it easy and struggled like usual Sunday, completing just 22 of 36 passes for 268 yards (61.1 percent completed, 7.4 yards per attempt), which makes Raymond's box score (75 percent caught, 14.4 yards per target) that much more impressive. Raymond is somewhat overmatched in his current lead wideout role, but his usage seems locked…read more

Totals 37 yards
Raymond caught six of seven targets for 37 yards during Sunday's 34-11 loss to Cincinnati.
Analysis: Raymond tied D'Andre Swift and Amon-Ra St. Brown for second place amongst Lions players in targets, but he was bottled up alongside everyone else not named T.J. Hockenson. With Quintez Cephus sidelined and Tyrell Williams (concussion) a question mark to return in the near future, Raymond should continue to handle a decent role in the Lions offense, though his upside will continue to be severely capped by the limitations of quarterback Jared Goff.

Blanked by Vikings
Raymond saw two targets but did not have a catch during Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Raymond's biggest contribution came on a punt return, and he otherwise watched Amon-Ra St. Brown rack up seven catches with Quintez Cephus (shoulder) sidelined. While Cephus seems set to miss time, Tyrell Williams (concussion) is eligible to return from IR in Week 6 against the Bengals. However, Cephus' possible absence could allow Raymond, who is averaging 5.5 targets entering the game, to approach the season-high 10 targets he saw in Week 3.

First multi-TD game of career
Raymond caught three of six targets for 46 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: It was a big day for Raymond, who saw 10 targets last week and previously hadn't seen pay dirt since 2019. His first score came on a short pass near the goal line while his second came on a 25-yard bomb thanks to broken coverage on the Bears' part. While Quintez Cephus seems to be emerging as the top wide receiver in the absence of Tyrell Williams (concussion), the 5-foot-6 Raymond is holding his own as the other starting option. However, it may be hard for him to see double-digit targets or…read more

Targeted 10 times in loss
Raymond (thigh) caught six of 10 targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Raymond stepped up as the top performer in the Lions' underwhelming wide receiver group with Tyrell Williams (concussion) on IR, leading the team in both targets and receiving yards. With tight end T.J. Hockenson and running back D'Andre Swift both above him in the passing game pecking order, Raymond will be no better than a flex consideration against the tough Bears defense Week 4.

Suiting up despite thigh injury
Raymond (thigh) is active for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: Raymond was a starter Weeks 1 and 2, but he saw only six targets while playing 75 and 63 percent of snaps on offense. Qunitez Cephus is probably the better bet for volume, though Raymond's speed should lead to occasional big plays if he continues to get a lot of snaps.

Raymond (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Ravens.
Analysis: The Lions capped Raymond's practice reps all week, as he went down as a limited participant on all three injury reports due to a thigh issue, which popped up on the final Week 2 report. He managed to play 63 percent of the snaps on offense Monday in Green Bay, ending up with two catches (on two targets) for 18 yards.

Analysis: Following Monday's loss to Green Bay, the Lions held a walk-through session Wednesday for their first Week 3 practice, with Raymond being listed as limited on the initial injury report. Detroit held a more traditional practice Thursday, but Raymond wasn't able to increase his activity. Provided he upgrades to full participation Friday, Raymond should avoid taking an injury designation into the matchup with the Ravens on Thursday, when he should once again be headed for a sizable snap count.…read more

Raymond (thigh) was limited in Wednesday's walk-through practice.
Analysis: As he was on the Lions' final Week 2 injury report, Raymond logged a capped session Wednesday due to a thigh issue. He proceeded to suit up this past Monday in Green Bay, finishing with two catches (on two targets) for 18 yards while playing 63 percent of the offensive snaps.

Raymond caught two of two targets for 18 yards during Monday's 35-17 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Raymond was expected to serve as the No. 1 receiver with Tyrell Williams (concussion) sidelined, but he popped up on the injury report late in the week with a thigh injury. While Raymond was in the starting lineup despite being listed as questionable to play, he ultimately finished a distant second in snaps behind Quintez Cephus, who led Lions wideouts in nearly all receiving categories.

Raymond (thigh) is listed as active Monday in Green Bay.
Analysis: Raymond didn't show up on the Lions' injury report until Saturday, when he was listed as a limited participant due to a thigh injury. During pregame warmups he was seen testing out his left leg, on which he had a compression sleeve, per Justin Rogers of The Detroit News. Raymond will give it a go in Week 2 after turning a 75-percent share of the offensive snaps into three catches (on four targets) for 50 yards, plus one carry for nine yards, in the team's season opener versus the 49ers.

Surprise add to injury report
Raymond (thigh) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: Raymond surprisingly appeared on the team's injury report Saturday with a reported thigh injury. With Tyrell Williams (concussion) already ruled out ahead of Monday's affair, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Quintez Cephus and Trinity Benson could be the team's top three pass catchers if Raymond is unable to play.

Totals 50 yards
Raymond caught three of four passes for 50 yards during Sunday's 41-33 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Raymond ultimately led all Lions receivers in snaps after Tyrell Williams (undisclosed) headed to the locker room at the start of the third quarter. While he finished just sixth in targets on a day when Jared Goff peppered his running backs and tight ends, Raymond at least was on the receiving end of one of Goff's best passes of the game. Regardless of Williams' status for Week 2 against the Packers, the 5-foot-8 receiver seems locked into a key role within the Lions' receiving corps.

Held out of preseason finale
Raymond didn't play in Friday's preseason game against Indianapolis.
Analysis: It might be taken as a sign he's made the team, with Raymond reportedly part of Detroit's wide-open competition for roles at wide receiver. It could get even messier with Tyrell Williams now bothered by a groin injury, but Raymond wouldn't figure to see many targets even if he were to land in a starting job.

Rested in second preseason game
Raymond did not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Analysis: After logging as many snaps in the preseason opener as No. 1 wideout Tyrell Williams, Raymond was the lone receiver to join Williams and starting quarterback Jared Goff in getting rested Saturday. However, Breshad Perriman, the starting complement to Williams on Detroit's current depth chart, perhaps only played because he missed the opener with a hip injury. Meanwhile, the reps given to rookie standout Amon-Ra St. Brown certainly were a product of his youth rather than his need to prove…read more

Raymond has consistently been one of the first four receivers to take rep with the first-team offense during training camp practices, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Analysis: With Tyrell Williams, Breshad Perriman and Amon-Ra St. Brown seemingly locked in as Detroit's top three receivers, Raymond appears to have moved ahead of Quintez Cephus for the No. 4 job, though it should be noted that Cephus has missed significant time due to a head injury. While the fourth receiver in what looks like an underwhelming Lions offense probably won't be relevant in fantasy if everyone stays healthy, Williams is 30 and coming off shoulder surgery, while Perriman hasn't played a…read more

The Lions have signed Raymond to a one-year deal, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Analysis: Raymond, who logged nine catches for 187 yards in 15 games with the Titans last season, will provide the Lions with added wideout depth. More importantly, the speedster is expected to help fill the void created by the free-agent departure of All-Pro returner Jamal Agnew.

Will hit free agency
The Titans do not intend to tender Raymond, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Raymond will become a free agent rather than return for a third straight year with the Titans. He does most of his damage in the return game, with 275 kick- and 208 punt-return yards last season. Raymond also has shown flashes as an occasional deep threat -- he averaged 20.8 yards per catch in 2020 -- so he should offer enough versatility to draw interest in free agency. However, he's unlikely to emerge on the fantasy radar.

Role remains stagnant
Raymond recorded nine receptions for 187 yards across 15 games with the Titans in the 2020 regular season.
Analysis: Raymond showed glimpses of a breakout in 2019, posting three receptions of 40 yards or more. While he was never going to be a full-time player with Corey Davis, A.J. Brown and Adam Humphries (concussion) on the roster, Raymond failed to reach 30 percent of the team's offensive snaps in any game this season. Raymond's contract with the team will expire at the end of its playoff run, making him a restricted free agent this offseason.

Analysis: Raymond missed last week's win over Detroit, but he should now be able to return for Sunday's matchup at Green Bay. The 26-year-old has registered a career-high 187 receiving yards this season but makes most of his impact as a kick/punt returner.

Sees one target
Raymond recorded one reception on one target for 11 yards in Week 8 against the Bengals.
Analysis: Raymond has combined to record only one reception across his last two contests and has seen his usage drop since the return of Corey Davis. Adam Humphries exited the Titans' Week 8 contest with a concussion, so Raymond could serve as the third receiver in Week 9 against the Bears. Even if Humphries is absent, Ryan Tannehill's desire to spread the ball around to tight ends while also focusing on A.J. Brown as his primary target make Raymond a risky bet for any type of notable volume.

Increased duties in store?
Raymond could operate as the No. 2 wide receiver in Tuesday's game versus the Bills because Corey Davis and Adam Humphries are still on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Kyle Tucker of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Raymond was silent through the first two weeks of the season but exploded in Week 3 versus the Vikings, hauling in all three targets for 118 yards. It looks like A.J. Brown (knee) will be ready Tuesday, but Raymond should be a fine fantasy option, especially if the Bills get out to an early lead and cause the Titans to throw more than usual. It's worth noting that anyone using any players in this game needs to monitor the status of the game itself due to COVID-19 related concerns.

Shows off deep speed
Raymond tallied three receptions for 118 yards in the team's Week 3 win over the Vikings.
Analysis: Raymond delivered the two biggest offensive plays of the day for the Titans, hauling in receptions of 61 and 44 yards. Each set up a score later on the drive, leading directly to 10 points for the team. This was Raymond's first true involvement this season, as he had run just 18 routes entering the Week 3 contest. However, he emerged last season -- particularly in the playoffs -- as a deep threat and flashed the ability to maintain that role with this performance.

Analysis: Raymond beat Johnathan Joseph deep and caught a pass from Tannehill in stride for a long gain. Raymond emerged as a deep threat at various points in the 2019 season, with none being bigger than a 45-yard touchdown in the team's divisional-round win over the Ravens. He'll compete to maintain that some role in 2020, and to serve as the team's fourth wide receiver behind the top trio of A.J. Brown, Corey Davis (toe) and Adam Humphries.

Raymond recorded nine receptions for 170 yards and one touchdown across eight games for the Titans in 2019.
Analysis: Playing for his third team in the past four seasons, Raymond was a marginally used receiver in Tennessee. Though he played just 98 total snaps, he averaged 18.2 yards per reception. His campaign was highlighted by a win-clinching 40-yard touchdown reception in Week 13 against Indianapolis. Raymond will enter the final year of a two-year contract in 2020, though he'll likely battle among the Titans' other pass catchers for a roster spot next season.

The fourth-year speedster flashed some of the same big-play ability in the regular season (three receptions of over 20 yards, including two over 40), so the downfield shot to him wasn't completely out of the norm.
