Detroit Lions

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (knee) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. Raymond injured his knee in the Week 18 regular season finale, didn't practice at all last week and was held out of the wild-card win over the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday night. The fact that the 29-year-old still hasn't returned to practice means he's likely to miss a second straight game this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Raymond apparently is doing better than he was last week, but even if he's able to play this weekend, he's not realistic DFS option as a depth receiver and kick returner on special teams. Second-year wideout Jameson Williams should have more opportunities if Raymond misses another game, but the 22-year-old managed just two catches for 19 yards in his postseason debut in the wild-card round.

Detroit Lions rookie tight end Sam LaPorta (knee) was downgraded to a limited practice participant on Thursday after he was listed as a full participant on Wednesday. Instead of suffering a setback with his hyperextended knee, the Lions were most likely resting the 23-year-old after he played through his knee injury in last weekend's wild-card win over the Los Angeles Rams. LaPorta played 45 of 56 offensive snaps last Sunday and caught all three of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown. Unless he suffers a setback in practice on Friday, LaPorta should be good to go for the Divisional Round against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Even though the Buccaneers have been gouged by opposing tight ends all year, LaPorta will still carry plenty of risk as the second-most expensive TE on DraftKings for this weekend, behind only Travis Kelce.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams came back from an ankle injury to face the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Wild Card Round last week, but he caught just two passes for 19 yards. The speedster has seen three or fewer targets in ten of his 13 games this year, meaning he's clearly not a trustworthy fantasy or DFS option. However, he is just $3,600 for DraftKings full-slate contests, so DFS gamers paying up for expensive players elsewhere can consider him a boom-or-bust dart throw against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that surrendered the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers during the regular season. Just don't be surprised if he's in for another quiet day.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (knee) practiced in full to begin the week leading up to the NFC Divisional Round contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Barring any setbacks, he should not be at risk of missing Sunday's game, and he should be more involved in the offense. The rookie saw just three targets in the win over the Los Angeles Rams, but he caught all three for 14 yards and a touchdown. The Buccaneers allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends during the regular season, so with a favorable matchup and improved health, the volume is likely to go up. He remains a solid DFS option for cash games and GPP tournaments.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown racked up at least 95 receiving yards in 10 of his 16 regular season games, and he did it again in the wild-card win over the Los Angeles Rams by catching seven passes for 110 yards. Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Divisional Round, St. Brown should be in for another field day. The Bucs allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers during the regular season and gave up 12 catches, 124 yards, and one score to St. Brown in Week 6. The third-year USC product is arguably the most consistent player in all of fantasy football and DFS, so his stretch of production should continue on Sunday.
