2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rakestraw was the second cornerback that the Lions took in the 2024 NFL Draft, being selected in the second round (61st overall). The 5-11 athlete joins first-rounder Terrion Arnold in Detroit as the team looks to revamp a secondary that allowed 247.4 passing yards per game last season, which ranked as the sixth highest in the league. Rakestraw will have to compete with the likes of Amik Robertson and Emmanuel Moseley for reps behind Arnold and Carlton Davis at cornerback this year, but he figures to slot in to a consistent role in his rookie campaign.

Placed on injured reserve
The Lions placed Rakestraw (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Rakestraw suffered a hamstring injury during practice this week, which is serious enough to warrant a multi-week absence. He'll be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 16 against the Bears on Sunday, Dec. 22 the earliest he could return. With Rakestraw on IR and Terrion Arnold (groin) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Khalil Dorsey and Kindle Vildor are candidates to start at corner opposite Carlton Davis.
