Scouting report

CHI WR Dontrelle Inman - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Detroit Lions

Dontrelle Inman came on strong last week, leading the Bears in receptions (6) and yards (88) on 8 targets. But there's no way of knowing if this will last, especially with the Bears throwing for a season-high (under Mitch Trubisky) 35 times last week.

The Bears receiving corps is a tough group to trust in fantasy. Kendall Wright leads the team, and even he has struggled to put up usable games. Inman could end up having a role, but he'd be a very risky start.

LAC WR Dontrelle Inman - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Denver Broncos

It would be foolish to not acknowledge that Dontrelle Inman is facing a secondary that was first in PPR points allowed to receivers last season, with 11 games of not allowing a wide receiver touchdown and only once allowing more than one (on the road against Drew Brees and the Saints). Don't start him.

LAC WR Dontrelle Inman - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

One of Philip Rivers' most reliable targets officially returned to the team as Inman, a restricted free agent, signed a one-year contract at the end of April. Inman is entering his fourth season with the Bolts after joining the team out of the CFL in 2014. He emerged as one of Rivers' favorite weapons the following season, catching 35 passes for 486 yards and 3 touchdowns in 14 games (seven starts). Last season was Inman's breakout year as he set career-highs across the board. He started all 16 games for the Chargers, catching 58 passes for 810 yards and 4 TDs. Overall, in 37 career NFL games, Inman has caught 105 passes for 1,454 yards and 7 touchdowns.

Fantasy Downside

Inman had surgery to repair an injured core muscle in May; he missed all the team's offseason work and is behind the curve as the regular season draws near.

2017 Bottom Line

With Keenan Allen returning to action this season, Mike Williams coming on board as the seventh pick overall in April's draft, and Tyrell Williams firmly locked in ahead of him, Inman will certainly struggle to meet last season's totals (surgery notwithstanding). He's a solid player, but at the moment the Chargers have higher-end options.

SD WR Dontrelle Inman - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Kansas City
Dontrelle Inman was a bit of a disappointment last week after stringing together a few nice fantasy performances over the last four weeks. Inman caught three balls for 44 yards, but was targeted 10 times, something fantasy owners can at least take something out of.

This week, Inman is 27th on our WR list, making him a higher-end WR3 play. The Chiefs are 14th in allowing fantasy points to WRs, so this is at least an average matchup. Inman entered last week with three TDs in his last four games and has now gone two in a row without a score. He has 25 targets over his last three games, so he's certainly drawing looks.

SD WR Dontrelle Inman - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Cleveland
Dontrelle Inman continued to lead the way for the San Diego WRs last week, as he caught five balls for 68 yards on eight targets. He did see his TD streak of three-straight games come to an end though.

Inman comes in slightly behind teammate Tyrell Williams at 21st in our rankings, making him a lower end WR2 play in what is a pretty nice matchup. The Browns are just 24th in allowing fantasy points to WRs and could still be without their top RB in Melvin Gordon, which could mean more passing in this game. Inman is a solid play and has even out-performed Williams the past few weeks.

SD WR Dontrelle Inman - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Oakland
Dontrelle Inman put up another nice fantasy performance last week. He caught six balls for 71 yards and a TD on seven targets. It's now three straight weeks with a TD.

Inman gets a nice ranking on our list this week coming in 25th among wide receivers. That puts him in the low-end WR2, high-end WR3 conversation. Oakland is 12th in allowing fantasy points to WRs, so it's not a great matchup. Keep in mind, the Bolts could pass a little more this week if stud RB Melvin Gordon isn't able to play - something that looks pretty likely. Inman continues to trend up.

SD WR Dontrelle Inman - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Carolina
Dontrelle Inman caught just two balls last week, but made the most of them. He collected 49 yards on five targets and another TD reception. It's now back-to-back weeks for Inman with a TD catch.

This week, he gets a nice matchup on paper, as the Panthers are 31st in allowing fantasy points to WRs. Inman gets a nice ranking on our list this week too, coming in at 31st and making him a solid WR3 option. We continue to have Inman ahead of Travis Benjamin, who has struggled his last three games played. Inman has at least 43 yards receiving in each of his games after Week 6.
