Trey Burton catches all five targets in Week 16.

Burton gained 30 yards on his five receptions versus the Niners, mostly working as an underneath target in the Bears’ win. Burton is not a great Week 17 play against a Vikings team that held him to nine yards earlier this season.

Theo Riddick handles seven touches in Week 16 loss.

Riddick rushed three times for a loss of two yards, also adding four carries for seven yards. Detroit’s receiving back will only be a FLEX option in deeper PPR leagues for the season finale against Green Bay.

Taquan Mizzell gets three touches against the Niners.

Mizzell had one carry for one yard and caught two passes for 27 yards in the Bears’ Week 16 victory. Mizzell is not a recommended fantasy option at the moment.

LeGarrette Blount handles 13 touches in loss to Minnesota.

Blount rushed 11 times for 29 yards, and also lost five yards on two receptions. The veteran is averaging just 2.8 yards per carry heading into the season finale, so he can stay on the waiver wire as Detroit looks to finish 6-10 in Matt Patricia’s first year at the helm.

Taylor Gabriel catches three passes in Week 16.

Gabriel gained 28 yards on his three Week 16 receptions, also adding one carry for eight yards. The veteran receiver is difficult to trust in Week 17 fantasy lineups against Minnesota.

Zach Zenner handles ten touches in Week 16 loss.

Zenner rushed eight times for 45 yards and caught two passes for 22 yards. The fourth-year runner has impressed this month, and he will get another chance to showcase his talent next week before hitting unrestricted free agency. Zenner will be a decent FLEX option in Green Bay to close out the 2018 season.

Allen Robinson leads the Bears in Week 16 receiving.

Robinson caught six passes for 85 yards along with one carry for nine yards and a fumble lost against the Niners. It was a solid game for A-Rob, but the fumble lost came late in the fourth quarter when he could’ve just slid down to ice the game with kneel downs gave San Fran another chance to win the game with a touchdown. Thankfully, the Bears defense made a stop to preserve the win. Being moved around the formation helps, but Robinson carried risk next week against Xavier Rhodes and company.
