Kevin White-Chicago Bears

The Bears offense has sputtered the first three weeks of the season since a strong first half in a game the eventually lost in Houston. Now, reports are that Jay Cutler’s job may be in jeopardy when he returns if Brian Hoyer can get things going. One of the Bears who looked much better wit Hoyer in at QB was second-year WR Kevin White.

White was clearly the no. 2 WR option in the team’s passing game this week in their loss at Dallas. He was targeted a massive 14 times and was able to reel in six catches for 62 yards. White is a freakishly-fast athlete who should be good for some long touchdowns if Hoyer can get the ball into his hands.

I think White has a chance to emerge this week as one of the solid WR sleepers if he continues to get so many looks in Chicago’s attack. The Lions defense is banged up and were beaten badly by the Packers last week. White is still high-risk, but he may be on the verge of realizing the potential that everyone has been buzzing about since the Bears drafted him no. 7 overall in 2015.

Next: Does he have a Dak connection?
