Raymond continues to surprise in 2026, leading the Bears in receiving Monday Night Football for a WR1 finish in Week 3. He caught six of 7 targets for 90 yards and a TD on his way to 21.0 PPR points and a WR9 ranking on the week. It’s the second time in three weeks Raymond has produced at least 15.0 PPR points.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Big Play, Bigger Skepticism
Raymond turned a solid game into a big one by cashing in on a 41-yard wide open TD in the third quarter. That play accounted for over half of Raymond’s Week 3 output.
Raymond leading the team with 214 yards through the first three weeks certainly wasn’t expected on a team with receiving weapons that include Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, and Colston Loveland.
The veteran WR signed with the Bears in the offseason following five seasons with the Lions, reuniting with head coach Ben Johnson. Across Raymond’s nine seasons prior to 2026, his highest scoring season came on the Lions with Johnson as his offensive coordinator.
While it’s been an impressive and surprising start for Raymond, he still isn’t projected to finish as one of the top three scorers among the Bears receiving options.
