Kalif Raymond lands in the Fool's Gold category for now, but his usage in the Bears' Week 1 blowout of the Panthers should have your attention. Raymond played 60% of the Bears' offensive snaps, had nine targets (more than Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze's eight targets combined) and finished with 8-84-0. Odunze was playing with a calf injury, which might explain why he played just under half of Chicago's offensive snaps. That could have contributed to Raymond's heavy involvement.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBust

Strong Week 1 usage likely inflated by Odunze's injury; avoid spending on waivers.

Classified as 'Fool's Gold' by the source despite strong Week 1 performance. Raymond played 60% of Bears' offensive snaps with nine targets (more than Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze's eight combined) and finished 8-84-0 with a 31% target share. However, the source cautions against adding or spending big on him, noting that Odunze's calf injury likely inflated Raymond's involvement and snap share. The source recommends putting Raymond on a watch list rather than acquiring him on waivers.
