Raymond is the veteran WR likely to anchor Detroit's WR3 role early. He brings reliability as the early-down option, allowing TeSlaa to prove himself. If Raymond's role remains stable, TeSlaa's upside grows slowly, making Raymond a steady floor play, with upside if WR injuries or shifts occur.

Raymond is the veteran option at No. 2–3 WR behind TeSlaa, offering a steady target floor but potentially limited upside if TeSlaa absorbs a larger slice of targets. He remains a relevant real-world option and a speculative play in deeper fantasy formats if TeSlaa’s role stays limited.

Raymond impressed as a first-team presenter in spring, noted for catching targets, separation in tight windows, and a high ceiling; could take a bigger Week 1 role if TeSlaa is limited.

Raymond serves as a reliable WR4/WR5 for Detroit, with Williams and St. Brown ahead in pecking order. If Patrick comes aboard, Raymond’s role could shift further into a depth niche, but he remains a meaningful fantasy depth piece in best-ball and deeper leagues.

Raymond is the lone punt and kick return designation, a notable specialization in a team that usually rotates two returners. His role emphasizes special-teams value and situational upside.
