Kalif Raymond a Worthy Week 6 Flyer

Saturday, October 17, 3:48 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond has seen a significant drop in target share in recent weeks, but he's still worth a look in deep leagues for Sunday's game against the hosting Atlanta Falcons. Raymond kicked off the campaign gangbusters, leading the Bears' pass catchers in each significant receiving category. However, he's caught just five passes for 12 yards (six targets) over the past two weeks, a stark contrast to the 21/214/1 line he posted through his first three appearances. The veteran was never a sound bet for a season-long play, but he'll draw some intrigue against a porous Falcons secondary that's yielded the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers (30.4). If quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) can return for the outing, Raymond would get a boost, so long as the former is fully past a lingering hamstring issue. Either way, the 32-year-old is a fine flyer in a favorable setting. He ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR51 for his matchup with Atlanta.

Jalen Nailor Remains Tough for Fantasy Mangers to Trust in Week 6

Saturday, October 17, 12:58 PM

After missing his team's Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots with a concussion, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jalen Nailor has been cleared to return in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills. The 27-year-old has played a minimal role in his team's offense so far, recording five catches for 52 yards on 11 targets across four games. Nailor could have a favorable matchup against the Bills, who rank 31st in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,379) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (13) through five weeks. However, Nailor is buried on the Raiders pecking order for targets behind tight end Brock Bowers, wide receiver Tre Tucker, and running back Ashton Jeanty. Even in a game that could turn into a high-scoring affair, Nailor is hard for fantasy managers to trust as a starter in Week 6.
