Kalif Raymond Is Becoming More Interesting in Deep Leagues

Thursday, August 13, 11:44 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond has probably earned a bigger offensive role than most expected when he signed in March. Ben Johnson has praised him throughout the offseason, and Raymond has backed that up in camp, including a 54-yard touchdown from Caleb Williams during an 11-on-11 period. Chicago still lists him behind Rome Odunze on the depth chart, with Luther Burden III starting at the other receiver spot, so the path to steady targets is not especially clean. Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet will be involved too. Raymond also sits atop both return jobs, which guarantees he will have a weekly role even if the offensive touches come and go. He caught 24 passes for 289 yards and one touchdown with Detroit last season, so there is not much recent fantasy production to lean on. RotoBaller has him at WR94, which feels about right for normal redraft leagues. He is more interesting than he was a month ago, but that mostly matters in deep formats or leagues that reward return production.

Ashton Dulin Steps Up Amid Absences

Sunday, August 9, 6:36 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin enjoyed one of his busiest and most productive days of training camp on Saturday. With Josh Downs (groin) and Laquon Treadwell (hamstring) both absent from a practice that saw a heavy emphasis on red zone work, Dulin saw the majority of first-team reps alongside Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Anthony Gould, but it was the eighth-year former UDFA who earned the most looks from Daniel Jones. Dulin scored a toe-tap touchdown on the first drive of 7-on-7 sessions and remained involved throughout the day. With Alec Pierce on the PUP list following offseason ankle surgery, the battle for the team's third wide receiver spot has had an even brighter spotlight shined on it throughout camp, and Dulin appears to have the edge, regularly taking advantage of the opportunities presented. While he could find his way onto the field in three-receiver sets, he still sits well behind Pierce and Downs in any projected pecking order, and with tight end Tyler Warren also expected to see heavy involvement in what has historically been a run-heavy Shane Steichen offense, Dulin is unlikely to find fantasy viability in 2026.
