STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Raymond's 70% snap rate and 26% target rate make him a league-winner at worst WR3.

Richard calls Kalief Raymond a year-10 breakout. Raymond is running on 70% of Bears drop backs with a 26% target-per-route-run rate and catching over 90% of his targets. Richard attributes Raymond's emergence to his long tenure in Ben Johnson's system, his route-running ability, and his speed. Raymond is at worst a number three receiver and has been picked up in all of Richard's leagues. The preseason narrative around Colston Loveland and Luther Burden being the primary targets was a miscast of their roles.
