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.

Won't play Sunday
Rakestraw (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Rakestraw appears to have sustained a hamstring injury in practice this week, as he was a late addition to the Lions' injury report and logged a DNP on Friday. The issue is serious enough that he's already been ruled out for Sunday's matchup, paving the way for Kindle Vildor to see increased work as one of the Lions' top backup corners.
