NegativeSleeperOct 16, 2026
Kalief Raymond is a stash option hoping that momentum from the first two weeks with Caleb Williams continues; he's part of a weak receiver group in Chicago.PositiveMatchupOct 15, 2026
Raymond is the speaker's preferred pick to exploit the Falcons' pattern of allowing two pass catchers to score 11+ PPR points in four straight games; positioned as a starter in three-receiver leagues and potentially two-receiver leagues.PositiveRoleOct 15, 2026
Numbers have been poor the last two weeks; he hasn't been on the field for Chicago. With Caleb Williams back against Atlanta, Raymond will face pressure, making it difficult to trust him as a must-start wide receiver. His role and target share remain uncertain given Williams' play style.PositiveRoleOct 15, 2026
Raymond could be a big part of the Bears offense with Caleb Williams back under center, making him a potential flex option in the 37-48 ranking range.PositiveRoleOct 15, 2026
With Caleb Williams' hamstring injury potentially leading to more in-pocket play, the source projects more short-area targets will go to Raymond rather than deep shots, positioning him to benefit from this shift in offensive approach.NegativeRoleOct 13, 2026
Raymond receives a drop-o-meter rating of 9-10/10, indicating the source wants to drop him. However, the source acknowledges wanting to see one more game with Caleb before making that decision. The source would prefer Bernard over Raymond but is willing to give Raymond one more week to prove himself with Caleb playing.PositiveUsageOct 12, 2026
Raymond had a great day in Week 5 and was dropped from a shared league team in favor of Carnell Tate, a move the source regrets; demonstrates Raymond's current production value.NegativeRoleOct 8, 2026
The source is not ready to write off Khalif Raymond despite the crowded Bears receiver room; there was a play where he was wide open downfield that would have been a touchdown if Bajan had thrown it, suggesting he has opportunity but execution/quarterback decision-making is limiting his production.PositiveUsageOct 5, 2026
Despite being a popular waiver wire add, Raymond's usage is inconsistent; his first-read target rate dropped to 9% this week, and Lamar Jackson hopes he fades away to allow more consistent production from other drafted players.NegativeValueOct 5, 2026
Raymond is a drop candidate after failing to produce significant fantasy value, with the analysts suggesting he is not a reliable hold.NegativeProjectionOct 4, 2026
Heath Cummings ranks Khalif Raymond as a low-end wide receiver three for the week.PositiveValueOct 1, 2026
Khalif Raymond is being featured in the offense and is a viable start in three-receiver leagues, though the source cautions he may not score many touchdowns.PositiveValueSep 30, 2026
Kalief Raymond is considered a major waiver wire steal. He has become a consistent part of the Bears' offense, averaging seven targets per game with a 91% catch rate. He is viewed as a top-20 per-game receiver and a must-add player.PositiveBreakoutSep 29, 2026
Kalief Raymond has emerged as a primary target in the Bears offense, leading the team in receiving in two of three games and running 75% of routes. He is a strong waiver wire priority.NegativeUsageSep 21, 2026
Khalif Raymond has seen consistent targets over the last two weeks and remains a player to watch.PositiveUsageSep 21, 2026
Kalief Raymond's consistent target share (five targets in the latest game) is negatively impacting the fantasy expectations for other Chicago receivers like Loveland, Burden, and Odunze.PositiveSleeperSep 15, 2026
Raymond is 1% rostered on CBS and available everywhere; he could be a free agent pickup on Thursday/Friday if PPR scoring matters in your league. The speaker notes that while everyone hates Raymond right now, he might still get a lot of targets and could be worth adding in shallow leagues if you can't land other wide receiver options.PositiveRoleSep 15, 2026
Raymond is a small, shifty underneath target and check-down option for Caleb Williams, particularly when Williams is pressured. The speaker loved his role in the offense and wonders if 10 PPR points per game is sustainable, though he cautions it would require a deep league. Raymond is only 1% rostered.NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
Kalif Raymond saw significant usage with nine targets in Week 1, which the source attributes to defenses gravitating toward Colston Loveland and Rome Odunze, leaving the middle of the field open for Raymond.NegativeSleeperSep 14, 2026
Khalif Raymond is being discussed as a waiver wire option, though the source prefers Kendrick Bourne and notes that Raymond is in a better offense than Bourne, but still leans toward Bourne being more likely to produce.
