Key Things to Know

Brad Berreman argues that Kalif Raymond's target share has settled into an expected reduced role after a hot start.
Raymond recorded only seven receptions for 30 yards over his last four games following a catchless Week 7.
Colston Loveland has stepped into a primary role with 21 receptions on 33 targets across the past four games.

Writer Brad Berreman observes that Chicago Bears wide receiver Kalif Raymond has experienced an expected dip in targets following an unusually strong start to the season. After recording 19 catches for 214 yards across the first three games, Raymond has managed just seven receptions for 30 yards on 10 targets over his last four appearances.

Berreman notes that while primary passing targets like Colston Loveland have reasserted their roles in the offense, Raymond continues to see steady playing time. With tight end Cole Kmet potentially sidelined by a knee injury, Berreman anticipates Raymond will likely retain a solid snap share despite reduced target volume.
