Kevin White, WR, Chicago Bears

Cameron Meredith (knee) is out for the season, and the Chicago Bears passing offense has plenty of volume to go around without many proven players vying for it.

Kevin White has only played four NFL games since getting drafted thanks to injury problems, but he's still one of the most likely players to lead Chicago in volume.

The sample size is obviously small, but he was force-fed the ball when on the field last year. He averaged 9 targets per game -- not seeing any fewer than 6 in any week -- and he ranked top-10 among wide receivers in 2016 in market share of both targets (25%) and air yards (36%).

There's obviously some risk that the Bears' passing game is simply too inept to support any true stud wideouts in fantasy, but volume like White's is hard to ignore. He has some serious fantasy potential both this week and over the whole season.
