Patrick appeared to be a midseason revelation for the Lions after he caught 16 passes for 176 yards and three scores during a four-game stretch late in the season. That production quickly evaporated and he would go on to reel in a measly three passes over his final four games including the playoff loss. Patrick is a solid third receiver who adds some extra juice in the run game as a blocker, but two season-ending injuries have likely sapped enough of his athleticism to prevent him from ever running as a team's second receiver again. He should still have no issues finding a roster spot on the open market once free agency opens.
Raymond missed nearly two months late in the year after suffering a foot injury in Week 12. He returned for the Divisional Round and posted a better receiving line than either Jameson Williams or Tim Patrick. The speedy receiver was primarily deployed on special teams this year but did see a steady dose of routes as the team's third or fourth receiver. Despite missing five games, he still led the league in punt return yards and was one of just a handful of players to house-call a punt. Raymond isn't a name fantasy managers need to know for next year, but he does give the Lions' special teams unit a boost on a weekly basis.
Patrick's two targets were primarily a function of only 33 pass attempts from quarterback Jared Goff in the convincing win. Jameson Williams led the team with eight targets, followed by seven each for tight end Sam LaPorta and Amon-Ra St. Brown and five for running back Jahmyr Gibbs. The win clinched the NFC's top seed, a playoff bye, and home field advantage for the Lions, who will await the results from Wildcard Weekend before learning their opponent in the Divisional Round.
