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.

Elic Ayomanor Carries Dynasty Sell-High Appeal into 2026

Monday, June 29, 12:49 PM

A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Elic Ayomanor recorded 41 receptions for 515 yards and four touchdowns on 89 targets across 16 games as a rookie. While Ayomanor operated with subpar quarterback play from Cam Ward, he had the advantage of being one of Ward's top targets for much of the year. Entering 2026, the Titans have a much stronger pass-catching corps. The team signed wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency, selected wide receiver Carnell Tate fourth overall in the 2026 NFL Draft, and should get more out of veteran wideout Calvin Ridley, who missed 10 games in 2025. As a result, Ayomanor could see a significantly diminished role in 2026 and beyond. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling high on the second-year wideout.
