Kalif Raymond

Lions WR Tim Patrick saw a season-high 18% target share in Thursday s win over Green Bay. That turned into a surprising 6-43-2 line, with both of his TDs coming in goal line situations. The veteran even out-targeted Amon-Ra St. Brown by one. Now, Thursday turned up Patrick s first TDs of the season. But it s clear he s ticketed for a larger role with Kalif Raymond (foot) set to miss at least a couple more weeks. Week 15 turns up a tough matchup vs. Buffalo, followed by another formidable secondary in Chicago. Patrick remains a shaky deep-league bet.

Patrick's touchdown grabs came from three and one yards out. Both the catches and targets were easily new season highs for the former Bronco, who also doubled his 2024 scoring total. Although tonight was his biggest night, Patrick has cleared 40 yards in three straight appearances. With Kalif Raymond (foot) sidelined, Patrick is currently unchallenged for No. 3 status in this elite offense. That could change for Week 15 against the Bills with Raymond having 10 more days to get healthy. Patrick still isn't producing enough to command WR4 fliers.
