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.

Xavier Legette News

Does Xavier Legette Carry Buy-Low Appeal Ahead of 2026?

Friday, July 10, 6:27 AM

A first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette has widely provided uninspiring production through the first two years of his career. Across 15 games in 2025, the 25-year-old recorded 35 catches for 363 yards and three touchdowns on 64 targets. Entering 2026, Legette could still be in a position to play a starting role alongside top Panthers wideouts Tetairora McMillan and Jalen Coker. However, Carolina added some competition for Legette in the form of rookie wide receiver Chris Brazzell II, whom the team selected in the third round of the 2026 draft. Still, Legette's stock has fallen to the point where he will most likely go undrafted in most 12-team redraft leagues ahead of 2026. As a former first-rounder who still has a clear path to a starting role with his team, Legette could be a worthy low-cost flier for deep-league managers.
