From the episode

The year 10 breakouts, the one player that I talked about on my show earlier this week, that stood out as very similar, like route shares, target shares and fantasy production to start the season...was Russell gauge in 2020 where he was on the Falcons team with Julio, Calvin Ridley, Hayden Hurst...he still maintained like nine to 11 PPR points per game. And a lot of the comps were in that like wide receiver three to five range.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Raymond's Russell Gauge comp suggests sustainable WR3–5 role despite early 15-PPR pace.

Raymond's early-season production (15 PPR points per game through three weeks) draws a comp to Russell Gauge in 2020 (Falcons with Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, Hayden Hurst), who was drafted late but had early-round teammates and maintained 9–11 PPR points per game as a WR3–5 despite not sustaining his hot start. Raymond likely won't maintain 15 PPR per game but has a realistic path to top-50 WR finish and WR3–4 range if production moderates.
