8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 1

Kendall Wright, WR, Chicago Bears

Kendall Wright had a terrific start to his career. The 215 receptions through the first three years of his career was bested by only 13 players since the 2000 season. However, he did fall out of favor in his last two seasons with the Tennessee Titans.

He's found a new home in Chicago, and in the very thin Bears' receiving corps that we mentioned for Kevin White, he's got a solid shot to bounce back from those down years.

The Bears are without their two most-targeted players from 2016 (Cam Meredith and Alshon Jeffery), with those two combining to account for 34.7% (191) of the team's targets. There's also an interesting connection between Wright and Bears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains -- he was the offensive coordinator in Tennessee in 2013 when Wright had a career year, catching 94 passes for 1,079 yards on 139 targets.

You likely won't get much efficiency out of Wright, even against an Atlanta Falcons defense that allowed above-average fantasy production to wideouts in 2016, but much like Kevin White, he should be on your radar simply because of the potential fantasy value in a high-volume role.
