Outlook Kalif Raymond

Fading Target Volume Leaves Kalif Raymond as a Risky Option in Atlanta

Operating as Chicago's primary slot receiver alongside Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III, Raymond started the season with strong involvement but has cooled off dramatically. Over his last two games, he has managed just five receptions for 12 yards on six targets as the offense spreads the ball around.

Even in an appealing, projected high-scoring dome environment in Atlanta, his fantasy appeal is fading. Fantasy managers have steadily dropped him down to 34% rostership, and we project him for roughly 3 catches and 32 receiving yards, making him best kept on benches outside of deep formats.
