Kalif Raymond would normally be competing for the team's WR3 job. Given that Luther Burden and Zavion Thomas—another WR3 candidate—were both out, it was surprising to see Raymond get just three snaps with Caleb Williams. Kaden Davis and JP Richardson both saw more reps with the 1s than Raymond.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Raymond gets only 3 snaps; Davis and Richardson ahead; 12-personnel limits WR3.

Raymond would normally be competing for the Bears' WR3 job but got just three snaps with Caleb Williams despite Luther Burden and Zavion Thomas—other WR3 candidates—being out. Kaden Davis and JP Richardson both saw more reps with the 1s than Raymond. The Bears used 12-personnel for exactly half of their passing plays, suggesting an extra tight end will be the answer at WR3, with the top two receivers and Colston Loveland funneling targets.
