Cameron Meredith-WR-Chicago Bears (1.5%)

While some of my WR Sleepers for Week 5 struggled, I had a few that ended up with good games including Cameron Meredith of the Bears. Meredith was thrust into a starting role across from Alshon Jeffery who was playing through injury on Sunday, and the converted QB turned in a career-best performance. He looks like one of the best plays off the waiver wire Week 6 and has a ton of upside moving forward.

In week 5, Meredith caught nine of the 12 passes thrown his way and finished with 130 yards and a touchdown. He had a brutal fumble late as the Bears were trying to get in position for a potential game-winning score, but he showed enough upside to overlook that for fantasy purposes.

With Kevin White done for the season and Alshon Jeffery and Eddie Royal banged up, Meredith is a great waiver wire Week 6 pickup. He has demonstrated a great connection with Brian Hoyer (more on him later) and has tons of upside moving forward against the Jaguars and Packers the next two weeks.
