Ennis Rakestraw Jr. unable to return after ankle injury

Ennis Rakestraw Jr. is a cornerback with no standard fantasy relevance (not an IDP scoring position in most leagues), so this injury has essentially no direct impact on typical redraft or dynasty lineups. The only fantasy-relevant ripple is for IDP (individual defensive player) formats, where losing a starting CB could open up more tackle opportunities for other Lions defensive backs/linebackers, and for season-long DST streamers who might see Detroit's pass defense slightly more exposed if Rakestraw is sidelined multiple weeks. There's also a minor 'funnel' effect worth monitoring: if Rakestraw (a starting corner) is out, opposing WR1s facing Detroit could see a slight boost in target volume/efficiency against a weaker secondary, which is more relevant for DFS/matchup analysis than season-long roster moves.
