It’s been a rough stretch for Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond, who logged just three catches for a measly six yards against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5. That’s his second straight quiet game, and honestly, it’s getting hard to ignore.
From Strong Start to Sudden Slump
Raymond, who got off to a strong start this season, has now been held to only 12 total receiving yards over the last two games. Think about that for a second: 12 yards. In two contests. He was targeted four times in Sunday’s game, pulling in three of them, but those plays just didn’t go anywhere. We know he’s capable of more, so what’s going on?
What’s Next for Raymond?
The big hope for Raymond to turn things around hinges on Caleb Williams coming back. Once Williams returns, Raymond should get more involved in the offense, which is definitely what Bears fans, and fantasy managers, want to hear. Right now, he’s still hanging on as a No. 5 receiver in fantasy leagues, but you have to wonder how long that can last if these low-yardage outings keep piling up. Everyone’s looking for that spark to reignite his game.
The next step is obviously getting Raymond back to his early-season form. With Williams’ return on the horizon, the pressure is on for Raymond to show he can still be a valuable piece of this offense. Until then, these quiet weekends are going to be a tough pill to swallow for anyone counting on him.
