Not only did the 10-year vet run a similar number of routes as the two starters during the first half when it was still competitive (Odunze – 16, Burden – 15, Raymond – 13), but Raymond challenged Burden for layup targets.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Raymond's near-career-high targets and slot involvement signal unexpected role expansion.

The 10-year veteran nearly matched his career high in single-game targets, running a similar number of routes as the two starters during the first half when the game was still competitive (Odunze 16, Burden 15, Raymond 13). Raymond challenged Burden for layup targets and earned more looks from the interior, nearly splitting slot reps with Burden. His unexpected high target volume suggests he may have carved out a meaningful role in the Bears' passing game.
