Byron Pringle is the clear WR2 for the Bears

Heading into their final preseason game, the Chicago Bears' wide receiver depth chart is clear for their top-four options; Darnell Mooney, Byron Pringle, Equanimeous St. Brown, and Velus Jones.

Fantasy Impact:

An uninspiring group, to say the least. Pringle may technically be operating as the WR2, but all signs point to TE Cole Kmet benefitting from being the second option in the passing game. Pringle does make for an interesting late-round addition in best ball formats.

Bears TE Cole Kmet has become the team's number two pass-catching option

Per the article, "At this point, Kmet is the No. 2 pass-catching option in the Bears offense behind No. 1 receiver Darnell Mooney. Fields trusts him, but so does [offensive coordinator Luke] Getsy."

Fantasy Impact:

It's not as if the team has many other options, but regardless, finding a tight end with a legitimate target floor is difficult to find in fantasy. Cole Kmet was involved in the screen game during the Bears' second preseason game, an area of the field that he was not utilized in during the last coaching regime; his four targets on screens in 2021 ranked 25th amongst NFL tight ends.

Bears QB Justin Fields worked out with WR Darnell Mooney

Justin Fields said time he spent working out with WR Darnell Mooney was big this offseason. "He pushes me to be better."

Fantasy Impact:

If their connection on the field is anywhere near what it's been off the field, it could be a really productive season for this combination, the tweet went on to say. We agree. Mooney moved into the Bears’ WR1 role last year en route to a 140-target, 81-catch, 1,055-yard, four-touchdown season. We think Mooney and TE Cole Kmet will very likely lead this team in targets and also think Mooney is a good value as the 30th receiver off the board.

Mooney: Velus Jones Jr. "going to be a playmaker"

Speaking to the media Tuesday, WR Darnell Mooney said that rookie wideout Velus Jones Jr. is standing out. "When he gets the ball, you're going to see, he can fly," said Mooney. "He's going to be a playmaker, for sure."

Fantasy Impact:

Jones is a 25-year old rookie and could already be showing his ceiling as a rookie. The good thing is he is being embraced on offense and is being praised for his speed by another fast receiver. Jones's fantasy floor is bottomless, but if he can grasp the offense immediately, there is plenty of space for upside in his game.
