Kalif Raymond - Strong production Sunday Raymond caught six receptions for 115 yards on eight targets against the Rams on Sunday.
Impact 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 into place as long as Quintez Cephus (collarbone) and Tyrell Williams (concussion) are out. Raymond has a home game against the Eagles in Week 8.

T.J. Hockenson - Busy but inefficient Hockenson (knee) caught six receptions for 48 yards on nine targets against the Rams on Sunday.
Impact The Rams were well aware that the Lions would try to feed Hockenson in this one and prepared accordingly, including setting elite corner Jalen Ramsey against Hockenson at times. Although Hockenson's efficiency was lacking Sunday and the struggles of quarterback Jared Goff might make that an ongoing risk, the nine-target usage for Hockenson is rather encouraging. It wasn't an easy matchup for Hockenson, yet the ball headed his way often. He'll face the Eagles in Week 8.

Jared Goff - Struggles against former team Goff completed 22 of 36 pass attempts for 268 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Rams on Sunday.
Impact Goff was slightly more productive than either of his two prior games, which combined for 405 yards and two interceptions, but even this box score is largely owed to the after-the-catch work of running back D'Andre Swift, who propelled most of Goff's stat line with a 63-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter. The Lions aren't in a position to fix the problems that plague their passing game in 2021, so riding out this sort of production from Goff might be the way it goes the rest of the year. The Lions face the Eagles in Week 8 before a Week 9 bye.

D'Andre Swift - Strong effort through air Sunday Swift (groin) ran for 48 yards on 13 carries against the Rams on Sunday, adding eight receptions on 10 targets for 96 yards and one touchdown.
Impact The Lions made the game closer than expected in the 28-19 loss, largely because of Swift's excellent output as a receiver. Swift's workload as a runner might always be limited and perhaps durability isn't his strong suit, but he's shown multiple times this year that he can provide standout fantasy production even while sharing the rushing workload with fellow running back Jamaal Williams, who ran for 57 yards on 12 carries against the Rams. It would be helpful if Jared Goff could be more productive, but in the meantime Swift has shown the ability to produce even if Detroit is subjected to poor quarterback play. The formula should stay mostly the same for Detroit as they take on Philadelphia in Week 8.

Trey Flowers - Leaves Sunday's game early Flowers (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Rams, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Impact Flowers dealt with a knee injury throughout practice the last two weeks, but he has been active for both contests. The 28-year-old missed two games earlier this season with a shoulder injury, and during that absence, Charles Harris carved out a bigger role in Detroit's defense. Now that Harris is a major part of the Lions' defensive gameplan, Julian Okwara will likely be the next man up this time if Flowers is unable to return to Sunday's contest.
