Kalif Raymond - Page 8 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Repping with first-team offense Raymond has consistently been one of the first four receivers to rep with the first-team offense during training camp, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact With Tyrell Williams, Breshad Perriman and Amon-Ra St. Brown seemingly locked in as Detroit's top three receivers, Raymond appears to have slid 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 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 full season since 2016. Unless those veterans manage to stay healthy the entire season, there could be games where Raymond handles a starting role at outside receiver this year.

Well-traveled WR Kalif Raymond is Detroit Lions' international man of mystery On his fifth team since 2016, Kalif Raymond is expected to handle return duties and play as a No. 3 or 4 WR for the Detroit Lions this fall.

Limps off practice field Raymond exited Wednesday's practice with a noticeable limp, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Raymond isn't believed to be dealing with a significant injury, but any missed time could open the door for another player to claim one of the returner jobs on punts and/or kickoffs.

Will hit free agency The Titans do not intend to tender Raymond, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Titans activate WR Kalif Raymond from COVID-19 list Raymond missed last week’s game against the Lions.

DECEMBER 25, 2020 • USATODAY.COM

Activated from COVID-19 list Raymond was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact 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.

Moves to COVID-19 list The Titans placed Raymond (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, John Glennon of BroadwaySportsMedia.com reports.

Impact Raymond won't be available for Sunday's game against the Lions, potentially setting the stage for Desmond King to handle punt returns. Cameron Batson and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine could also handle increased roles behind A.J. Brown and Corey Davis.

Sees one target Raymond recorded one reception on one target for 11 yards in Week 8 against the Bengals.

Impact 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.

Tallies three catches Raymond recorded three receptions on four targets for 32 yards in Week 6 against the Texans.

Impact Raymond stepped up in the absence of Corey Davis (COVID-19) again, though he clearly worked behind Adam Humphries and A.J. Brown. His first catch came in the team's first possession and went for six yards. However, his most notable contribution came early in the second quarter, when he picked up 20 yards on a deep pass from Tannehill that ultimately set up a touchdown for the team. Raymond continues to fill the role of deep threat for the Titans, as he has four receptions of 20 yards or more through five contests this season.

Totals 26 yards Raymond caught both of his targets for a total of 26 yards in Week 5 against Buffalo.

Impact Raymond was expected to see increased opportunity with both Corey Davis (COVID-19) and Adam Humphries (COVID-19) absent. However, tight ends Jonnu Smith and Anthony Firkser combined for 12 targets, directing chances away from Raymond. Despite the limited opportunity, Raymond did still produce a 20-yard reception late in the first quarter on a drive that ultimately resulted in a Tennessee touchdown. If both Davis and Humphries remain sidelined for the team's Week 6 matchup against the Texans, Raymond will have another chance to command more volume.

Impact 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.
