Kalif Raymond News
Friday, July 10, 10:32 AM
Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond is looking to rebound with his new organization. Raymond signed with the Bears this offseason after spending the last five seasons with the Detroit Lions. Raymond posted decent numbers during his first few years in Detroit, but has been lackluster lately. Over the last two seasons, Raymond has failed to surpass 300 receiving yards in either season. The 31-year-old was likely brought in as depth to compete with Zavion Thomas and Jahdae Walker for the third wideout role. Whoever wins the job is unlikely to have a ton of targets anyway. Raymond belongs on the waiver wire in basically all fantasy formats right now.

Chris Brazzell II News
Friday, June 26, 8:21 AM
A third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell II could have a chance to carve out an immediate role with his new team. Across 12 games for the University of Tennessee in 2025, Brazzell II recorded 62 catches for 1,017 yards and nine touchdowns. The Panthers have Tetairoa McMillan locked in as their WR1 on the outside, and the team recently committed to slot wideout Jalen Coker with a multi-year contract extension. However, Brazzell II may enter training camp in a job battle with third-year Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette for the team's WR3 role. Legette has largely been a disappointment since being selected by Carolina in the first round of the 2024 draft, failing to reach 50 catches or 500 receiving yards in either of his first two NFL seasons. With a strong summer, Brazzell II could establish himself as a building block in the Panthers passing game. Entering 2026, Brazzell II ranks as RotoBaller's dynasty WR67.
