Outlook Kalif Raymond
Kalif Raymond vs. Jets — Reliable Slot Option Looks to Maintain PPR Momentum
Raymond returned without issue from a brief medical tent visit last week and continues operating as Chicago's top slot receiver. He has surprisingly paced the Bears' receiving corps with 19 receptions and 214 yards through three contests, consistently outproducing perimeter teammates Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III.
With starting quarterback Caleb Williams ruled out due to a hamstring injury, backup Tyson Bagent commands the offense. Our weekly projection expects around 4 receptions for 45 yards, giving Raymond a dependable floor. His roster rate has vaulted to 72%, making him a solid PPR flex play in competitive matchups.

Outlook Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at Las Vegas — Backup Role Growing but Remains a Bench Stash
Operating as the primary change-of-pace back behind Kenneth Walker, Johnson has impressed the coaching staff early this season. Head coach Andy Reid and running backs coach DeMarco Murray both noted recently that the rookie will continue earning more opportunities to help manage Walker’s heavy workload. Through three contests, Johnson has logged 16 carries and caught all four of his targets, proving to be a reliable and versatile contributor when called upon.
For fantasy purposes, Johnson is not quite ready for starting lineups, as reflected by his 2% start rate despite roster ownership climbing to 43%. Our weekly projection pegs him for 5.6 fantasy points on roughly five carries and a reception in what profiles as a high-scoring divisional matchup with Las Vegas. Keep him securely stashed on your bench as a high-upside insurance policy.
