Kalif Raymond Heading to Bears on One-Year Deal

Tuesday, March 10, 9:09 AM

Free-agent wide receiver Kalif Raymond is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Chicago Bears on Tuesday, a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The former Detroit Lions wideout will remain in the NFC North and will give the Bears some depth after they lost Olamide Zaccheaus to free agency on Monday. The 31-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Holy Cross started his NFL career back in 2016 with the Denver Broncos. He has been with Detroit since the 2021 campaign, catching 171 passes for 2,185 yards and eight touchdowns on 231 targets in his five years with the Lions. Raymond has mostly been an asset on special teams as a kick and punt returner. He didn't go over 300 yards receiving in each of the last two years in Motown and won't be expected to have a major role on offense in Chicago, making him avoidable in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Andrei Iosivas News

Andrei Iosivas Overshadowed by Two Stud Receivers in Cincy

Sunday, March 15, 9:25 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas is an underrated NFL wideout who would probably be much more fantasy relevant if he were on another team. But in Cincinnati, he's a forgotten man behind one of the best WR duos in the league in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The 26-year-old former sixth-round selection by Cincy in 2023 out of Princeton was fourth on the team last year with 435 receiving yards in 17 games (nine starts). Iosivas caught 33 of his 58 targets for just two touchdowns. In 2024, he had a career-best 479 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 36 receptions. It didn't help his cause in 2025 that quarterback Joe Burrow missed eight games with a toe injury. The Bengals' third receiver will go undrafted in 12-team fantasy leagues this fall, but an injury to Chase or Higgins would make Iosivas an interesting waiver-wire pickup. He finished his third year in the NFL as the No. 70 overall receiver in half-PPR scoring, averaging just 4.9 fantasy points per game.
