Kendall Wright, WR, Chicago Bears

ESPN Ownership Percentage: 10.5%

Most didn't expect new Chicago Bears wideout Kendall Wright to ever be fantasy relevant again, but after a perfect storm this offseason -- Cameron Meredith's injury, Victor Cruz's departure and Kevin White's question marks -- Wright could garner a whole lot of targets. He has been reunited with Dowell Loggains, who was his offensive coordinator in Tennessee in 2013, the season in which he totaled 1,079 yards and averaged 8.7 targets per game. With few proven pass catchers on the Bears roster, expect Loggains to once again force-feed Wright.

Some will naysay Wright by pointing to White's "potential," but White was actually one of the league's worst receivers last season, according to our metrics. He posted 0.29 Reception Net Expected Points (NEP) per target and a 73.68% Success Rate, both of which were a far cry from Wright's numbers last season.

Wright was on the other end of the spectrum, coming in as one of the league's most efficient receivers, with a 0.87 Reception NEP per target (fifth among receivers with at least 40 targets) and 82.76% Success Rate.

This isn't likely to be a high volume passing offense capable of producing several fantasy relevant receiving options, so Wright isn't a lock for production. However, without Meredith, Wright may have an opportunity to step up and become the lead man, which makes him worth watching closely in the near 90% of leagues in which he is still available.
