Marquess Wilson-WR-Chicago Bears (0.1%)

Wilson represents the ultimate roll of the dice for week 15 since he has barely any NFL track record, but a ton of potential stepping into a pass-heavy offense with a very friendly matchup. In case you missed Thursday Night Football, Wilson will be the receiver stepping in for Brandon Marshall in Chicago.

Wilson has the raw talent to succeed in the NFL, but he’s definitely an unproven option.  He was drafted in the seventh round by Chicago after leaving Washington State alleging abuse from Mike Leach. He was expected to be the Bears third WR this season, but he missed time due to a broken collarbone. After coming off the IR, he has a total of five catches for 40 yards in his four games this season.

Wilson has a huge opportunity in front of him as he starts across from Alshon Jeffery who will surely draw most of the attention on Sunday.  The Saints defense was torn apart by the Panthers last week and Jay Cutler will do all he can to carve them up and save his and his coach’s job. Wilson is a huge gamble, but he has a chance to put up a solid week if you need to roll the dice at your flex or WR3 this week.
