The analytics aren't in Raymond's favor to continue his hot start to the 2026 season.
STACKED’s take
Raymond's WR15 Week 1 unlikely to repeat; analytics don't support continuation.
Raymond finished as WR15 in Week 1 with surprising production: 84 receiving yards, 3.82 YPRR, one red zone target, and one deep target on a 60% snap share and 57.9% route share, posting a 31% target share and 33.3% first-read share. However, the source warns against expecting a repeat. Against two-high coverage (which Flores deployed on 67.4% of snaps in Week 1), Raymond had only a 14% target per route run rate and 1.28 YPRR with Detroit last year, and in 2024 with the Lions and Ben Johnson against two-high, he posted only a 12% target-per-route-run rate and 0.67 YPRR. The source states: 'The analytics aren't in Raymond's favor to continue his hot start to the 2026 season' and recommends not starting him in Week 2 in most formats.
