Kalif Raymond News
Saturday, September 12, 7:51 AM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond could be in for some unexpected targets in Week 1 when the Bears play the Carolina Panthers. The Bears top two receivers, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden, are nursing injuries with Odunze listed as questionable and Burden expected to play after missing all of training camp with a groin injury. That means Raymond could get some easy looks with a head coach in Ben Johnson who is familiar with what he can do dating back to their days with the Detroit Lions. Look for Raymond to get involved with some easy, underneath passes early in the game to get established. While Odunze and Burden could both end up playing and being heavily involved, Raymond is still a good bet to see some targets from quarterback Caleb Williams. He might not make a huge play but could see several underneath looks.

Bryce Lance News
Wednesday, August 19, 4:59 PM
Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports that New Orleans Saints rookie fourth-round wide receiver Bryce Lance (undisclosed) operated as the team's WR2 in his return to training camp practice on Tuesday. The Saints will not have first-round rookie wideout Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) to begin the 2026 regular season, and Devaughn Vele was rested on Tuesday, so Lance worked opposite Chris Olave in the joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys. The 23-year-old Lance, the younger brother of QB Trey Lance, should have an opportunity to carve out a role in the Saints' offense early in the year with Tyson sidelined, although it probably won't be enough volume to make him interesting in most fantasy football leagues. The 6-foot-3, 204-pounder has good size and speed and scored 28 total touchdowns in 57 games at North Dakota State in his collegiate career. Lance is an interesting dynasty/keeper stash for his athleticism in an up-and-coming offense.
