ANALYSIS: Marquess Wilson was a hyped receiver at one point for the Bears. Expected to man the slot between Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery in 2014, coaches in Chicago were really looking forward to seeing him. With Alshon Jeffery and Eddie Royal missing, Wilson took advantage of the opportunity and put up 102 yards on four catches. His seven targets were the most on the team, and posting that stat line against a strong Broncos defense is especially nice to see.

His next game comes on a short week against the softer Packers' defense that's allowed 86 yards per game to number one wideouts. That short week means Jeffery might not be ready to play, so if that's the case, Wilson looks like a good player to own. His rest-of-season schedule is very favorable, as well, especially if Jeffery is out any longer.
