3 Bold NFL Predictions for Week 5

Deonte Thompson Will Be a Top-24 Wide Receiver

Why This Is Bold: The 28-year-old Deonte Thompson has never cleared 250 receiving yards in a season, so expecting him to be a usable fantasy asset this week is bold in and of itself.

Why This Will Happen: The Chicago Bears finally made a change at quarterback this week, naming Mitchell Trubisky the starter over Mike Glennon.

Going back to college, Trubisky has showed a willingness to push the ball down the field. Trubisky showed a rapport with Deonte Thompson in the preseason, targeting him 9 times and connecting for 7 completions and 85 yards -- all team highs.

Chicago expects Trubisky to elevate the Bears' stagnant offense, and if the preseason target distribution was any indication, Thompson will be the beneficiary.
