BALLER MOVE: Bench in 10+ team leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Although it benefits Kalif Raymond of the Detroit Lions that his teammate Jameson Williams is suspended for two games, this Week 8 contest is not an ideal matchup.
Raymond has been productive, even with Williams in the lineup. He got his first touchdown last week against the Minnesota Vikings, catching three of his four targets for 29 yards and a score. The Vikings allow the most fantasy points to wide receivers.
Kalif Raymond scores to extend the Lions lead!

While Raymond has shown growth, with 11.30 PPR fantasy points in Week 6 and 12.90 in Week 7, this is a challenging contest. The Lions face the Tennessee Titans. The Titans give up the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. Additionally, Detroit has plenty of weapons through the air including Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta.
It is recommended that Raymond stay on the bench this week. There are better players available on waivers that you can plug into your flex spot if in desperation mode.
