Wide receivers

Jordy Nelson (START): Antonio Brown and T.Y. Hilton. Those are the only two wide receivers to score more points than Nelson over the past four weeks. Nelson is the WR4 on the season and is once again a must-start this week.

Davante Adams (START): Adams’ low-floor might scare owners, but his upside is too hard to ignore. With 867 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on the season, Adams looks a different player to the mistake-prone one we saw last year.

Chicago owns the 12th-best defense against WRs in fantasy, but Adams should see another healthy share of targets.

Randall Cobb (SIT): Cobb hasn’t posted double digit fantasy points since the Week 7 meeting with the Bears. It’s difficult to predict when he’ll find the end zone, and touchdowns have been the main factor in any solid fantasy outing this season.

Alshon Jeffery (START): Returning from a four-game suspension, Jeffery certainly poses a risk to fantasy owners. But Matt Barkley’s targets have to go somewhere, and why wouldn’t he lean towards his most talented pass catcher? On a contract year, Jeffery has a point to prove in a favorable matchup.

Other Bears WRs (SIT): Cameron Meredith is the only Bears WR inside the top-50 at the position over the past four weeks. Jeffery’s return will likely eat into what’s already been an inconsistent fantasy stat line for Meredith.
