No. 9 Taylor Gabriel vs Green Bay

Turbo is ready to roll for the Bears. Everything is new and shiny in Lake Forest and Gabriel seems most excited about what this team brings to the table.

It’s been an up and down for years for Gabriel. He came out swinging his rookie season, posting 600+ yards before big struggles in 2015. Then in Atlanta, Gabriel was huge in the Falcons run to the Super Bowl with a career high six touchdowns on 579 receiving yards. 2017 was another step back where Gabriel only caught one touchdown pass and finished under 400 yards for the second time in three years.

Another lease on life in Chicago with a brand new contract and a lot of other weapons around him, Gabriel is another low flex play that shows a lot of promise. The Bears boast Allen Robinson and rookie Anthony Miller (we’ll talk about him) to go with Gabriel and if Trubisky is rolling out and hitting the open man, look for Gabriel. That Green Bay secondary changed a lot and isn’t a walk in the park but with the speed Gabriel has, the flex play could open up for a couple big time catches.
