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 (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Rakestraw's absence from the active roster for Week 2 comes as a bit of a surprise, with the 2024 second-round selection expected to be an important depth piece of the Lions' retooled secondary this season. However, the Missouri product did play just three snaps on defense in their Week 1 win over the Rams and may need more development time to carve out a more consistent role.
