Kalif Raymond Unlikely to Have Significant Role

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.

Skyler Bell Emerging as a Sneaky Redraft Sleeper?

Saturday, June 27, 11:37 AM

After recording 101 catches for 1,278 yards and 13 touchdowns across 13 games in his final collegiate season at UConn, wide receiver Skyler Bell was selected in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. Entering his rookie season, Bell will be part of a crowded wide receiver room in Buffalo and is not guaranteed to emerge as a regular contributor. However, outside of veteran DJ Moore and steady slot wideout Khalil Shakir, the Bills do not have any wideouts who are definitively ahead of Bell on the depth chart. With a strong showing in training camp and the preseason, Bell could establish himself as a favorite target of star Bills quarterback Josh Allen. As the 83rd wide receiver off the board by ADP, Bell is a sneaky sleeper for redraft fantasy managers to target.
