Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond put up just six receiving yards on two catches in Week 4, a surprisingly low output against the New York Jets. For a guy who’s been playing “very well so far this season,” that stat line is a head-scratcher.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Seriously, only two catches for a measly six yards? That’s what Raymond delivered, and it came on only two targets during the entire game. You watch a dude who’s supposed to be a factor, and then you see those numbers, and you just think, “What gives?” It was a quiet day, to say the least, for the Bears’ pass catcher.
What Happened Out There?
The real issue seems to be a total lack of connection with Tyson Bagent this week. Raymond has been doing good work earlier in the season, showing what he can do, but whatever spark was there, it just wasn’t found in Week 4. You need that chemistry, that rhythm, especially when you’re getting so few chances. It’s tough to make an impact when the ball isn’t finding you, or when you aren’t on the same page.
Looking ahead, Raymond “should see a few more targets next week,” which is good, because those two targets from Week 4 just aren’t cutting it. He’s also being pegged as a potential “No. 5 receiver in fantasy leagues,” which shows he still has some value, but this Week 4 performance means a lot of eyes will be on him to bounce back.
