Last year, against two-high, Raymond had only a 14% target per route run rate and 1.28 yards per route run, but this was with Detroit. In 2024, with the Lions and Ben Johnson against two-high, Raymond had only a 12% target-per-route-run rate and 0.67 yards per route run.

Raymond's analytics vs. two-high are poor (12-14% TPRR); source fades him in Week 2 for most leagues.

Raymond's Week 1 hot start faces headwinds in Week 2 against Minnesota's two-high coverage. Brian Flores deployed two-high on 67.4% of defensive snaps in Week 1 (fifth-highest rate). The analytics don't favor Raymond's continuation; last year against two-high, he had only a 14% target-per-route-run rate and 1.28 YPRR with Detroit, and in 2024 with the Lions and Ben Johnson against two-high, he had only a 12% target-per-route-run rate and 0.67 YPRR. The source advises against starting Raymond in Week 2 in most formats and leagues, though acknowledges the matchup could be fruitful if desperate.
