Outrage over the NFL Top 100 rankings remains ongoing for the Chicago Bears fans. Jimmy Garoppolo makes the Top 50 but Jordan Howard can't be bothered to even crack the list? Alright then. It's only more fuel to drive this team towards proving everyone wrong. Not just the experts and opposing fans either. This goes for all the fantasy football owners too.
Ask around and probably Howard is the only name worth mentioning in those circles. No surprise. He's the only consistent offensive weapon the team has had the past two years. The defense was good last season but lacked the ability to generate big plays like interceptions to help produce more fantasy points.
Mitch Trubisky isn't proven yet. Tarik Cohen is more of a utility weapon so it's hard to pin down exactly how reliable he can be. Thus the Bears remain in sort of a limbo. At least that was the case coming into 2018. It seems fantasy experts have a new name they're taken with.
Allen Robinson was the crown jewel of the Bears free agency spending spree. The 24-year old wide receiver was viewed by most as the best available on the market. A genuine Pro Bowl-caliber talent. Also a fantasy breakout star in 2015 when he posted 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns. His past two seasons where he played, he scored a total of 20 touchdowns. That makes him a legitimate starting receiver option for fantasy teams. However, coming off of his ACL injury it's likely owners have forgotten about him. This makes him a serious sleeper candidate that can turn into a steal if he's healthy and fits well into the new Bears offense as expected.
