Outlook Kalif Raymond
Kalif Raymond vs. MIN — Slot role brings deep-league intrigue
Operating out of the slot alongside Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III in Ben Johnson's offense, Kalif Raymond is coming off an impressive opener where he secured eight of nine targets for 84 yards. His immediate involvement sparked a wave of waiver adds, bumping his roster rate up to 19% across leagues.
Chicago hosts Minnesota in a favorable home environment with solid scoring potential. However, duplicating his Week 1 target share will be tough against division rivals. Our weekly projections forecast a modest 2.3 receptions for 26 yards (5.7 fantasy points), positioning Raymond as a fringe flex or deep-league streaming option.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt at Dallas — Lead Early-Down Role in High-Scoring NFC East Battle
After entering the opener cleared of a groin issue, Croskey-Merritt immediately asserted himself as Washington's primary early-down ball carrier ahead of Rachaad White. He logged 16 carries in Week 1, and recent usage reports highlight his expanding grasp on the backfield. With Washington traveling to Dallas for a projected high-scoring divisional matchup, his workload between the tackles looks secure, though his minimal passing involvement remains a constraint.
Fantasy managers have taken notice, with his start rate spiking from 6% to nearly 30% this week. Our weekly projection lands at 12.5 fantasy points, slating him for roughly 16 carries and 65 rushing yards with strong touchdown equity. While his lack of receiving volume caps his week-to-week ceiling, his bankable volume makes him a solid flex option with RB2 upside if he punches in a score.
