Tre McBride gets one target against the Vikings.

McBride caught the pass for 18 yards. He flashed his ability during the preseason with the Titans, who he spent his first two years in the league with, this year, and he had a nice role with Chicago right now. But he’s not a recommended fantasy option right now.

Isaiah Crowell rushed 12 times for 58 yards in Sunday’s blowout loss.

He also caught two passes for 15 yards. Crowell continues to be outplayed by Duke Johnson, but he remains clearly ahead of him for carries. Sunday was probably Crowell’s best game of the season, which is disappointing. He’s yet to score in 2017, and that’s unlikely to change next week against Tennessee. Keep him out of lineups.

Zach Miller scores in Bears’ loss.

Miller caught the first career touchdown from rookie quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, as a ball was tipped in the end zone and into the veteran tight end’s hands. Overall, Miller had three receptions for 39 yards and a touchdown, and he drew a team-high six targets (including one late in the game that was intercepted by Vikings safety Harrison Smith). Miller isn’t a recommended fantasy option yet, but he could emerge as one if Trubisky continues looking his way.

Bruce Ellington caught two passes for 22 yards in Sunday’s 33-17 win over the Browns.

Ellington split time with Will Fuller and Braxton Miller behind DeAndre Hopkins, and Fuller’s return has hurt him so far, as his production has dropped in each game since. The 26-year-old isn’t a fantasy option against the Seahawks in Week 7.

Benny Cunningham catches fake punt for a touchdown in Week 5.

Cunningham slipped out on a punt in the third quarter and was wide open for a pass from punter Patrick O’Donnell that was taken 38 yards for a touchdown. Overall, Cunningham had two receptions for 43 yards and the touchdown while also getting one carry for four yards. He’s a solid contributor for the Bears in real life, but he’s not a reliable fantasy option behind Jordan Howard.

Brian Hoyer gets benched against the Redskins

The offense wasn’t doing much and Kyle Shanahan opted to make the switch to rookie C.J. Beathard. Before leaving, Hoyer was 4/11 for 34 yards. This could be the last we see of Hoyer this season, but he’ll handle the benching like a true pro and support the rookie third-rounder.

Kendall Wright leads Bears in receiving against the Vikings.

Wright caught four passes for 46 yards in the Bears’ loss. He’s the top receiver for Chicago right now, but he’s currently not a recommended fantasy option in standard leagues.
