Byron Pringle Fantasy

Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle was arrested on Saturday. The 28-year-old was observed doing doughnuts in his 2016 Dodge Challenger and was subsequently pulled over by the Florida Highway Patrol. He was charged with reckless driving and driving on a suspended license. Even worse, Pringle was reportedly confrontational with law enforcement officers during the stop, and he also had his child inside the vehicle. In March, the former Kansas State Wildcat signed a one-year deal with the Bears. He wasn't a consistent target for quarterback Patrick Mahomes throughout his three seasons in Kansas City. However, Pringle had his best year in 2021, where he finished with 42 catches for 568 yards and five touchdowns. He is expected to have a more prominent role in his new home, although the latest incident may cause him to miss some time during the 2022-23 campaign. There's also a chance Chicago may part ways with him, although a suspension is more realistic at this point.

Wide receiver Byron Pringle has agreed to a one-year deal with the Bears. The wideout spent his inaugural three seasons in Kansas City, where he racked up 67 receptions for 898 yards and seven touchdowns during that span. Unquestionably, Pringle won't have as much competition for targets in Chicago. However, the 28-year-old will no longer have the luxury of having Patrick Mahomesas his signal-caller, a player who has proven to be one of the best at the position over the years. Yet, if Justin Fields can progress in his development, Pringle has the potential to have his best season to date, although managers aren't encouraged to reach for him in fantasy drafts for the 2022-23 campaign.

Kansas City Chiefs free-agent wide receiver Byron Pringle is expected to sign with the Chicago Bears, according to a source. Pringle will head to Chicago after spending his first three seasons in the NFL with the Chiefs, where he totaled 67 catches on 93 targets for 898 yards and seven touchdowns. He had his best season in 2021, catching 42 of his 60 targets for 568 yards and five touchdowns in 17 games (five starts) for Kansas City. The 28-year-old always had promise with the Chiefs in their explosive offense, but he was never consistent enough in fantasy because he was behind too many other great weapons. That should change in Chicago, where he is currently projected to be the Bears No. 2 receiver behind Darnell Mooney.
