Kalif Raymond an Intriguing Deep League Play

Friday, September 18, 10:40 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond gets a bit of a boost in fantasy value heading into a Week 2 tilt with the Minnesota Vikings. Chicago posted an offensive explosion in their 59-37 stomping of the Panthers a week ago. Surprisingly, Raymond was the main beneficiary of an efficient air attack, reeling in eight-of-nine looks for 84 yards - all team highs. The veteran also ranked second in snaps (45), behind fellow wideout Luther Burden III (55) and ahead of Rome Odunze (36). With Odunze healthy, Raymond is likely to drop to third in the receiving hierarchy, though that doesn't mean he can't be fantasy relevant. The 32-year-old will be challenging to trust as a steady floor option every week in shallower leagues, but his familiarity with Ben Johnson's system should keep him as the next man up in what looks like a high-powered offense. Raymond ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR77 for the weekend ahead.

Joshua Palmer Makes the Most Of Limited Targets in Week 1

Tuesday, September 15, 6:51 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer recorded a 34-yard touchdown reception that proved to be the game-winner for the Bills in a 36-31 victory over the Houston Texans in Week 1. However, while Palmer was able to make the most of his opportunities, he played a low-volume role. Palmer was targeted just twice in the season opener, and both came in the late fourth quarter. He played just 18 offensive snaps. In a game where Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen threw for 334 yards, Palmer's usage was discouraging. Palmer is currently rostered in 0% of Yahoo leagues, and while the secondary of the Detroit Lions was torn up in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints, there is not much reason to add Palmer to your fantasy team right now ahead of the Week 2 matchup with the Lions.
