Tanner Gentry Fantasy

Chicago Bears wide receiver Tanner Gentry is joining the practice squad after he didn't make the 53-man roster. In four games with the Bears in his rookie season, Gentry had only three receptions for 35 yards. He can obviously be ignored by fantasy owners.

The Chicago Bears released wide receiver Deonte Thompson Wednesday and promoted wideout Tanner Gentry from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Thompson had caught 11 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown this year, but the Bears are looking to improve their receiver depth with Gentry, who excelled in the preseason. Gentry will battle for playing time with Markus Wheaton and Josh Bellamy, but he's not on the fantasy radar at all.

Wide receiver Tanner Gentry caught two passes for 27 yards for the Bears in Week 2. The undrafted rookie made his NFL debut after injuries have ravaged the wide receivers on the team. He made two sideline catches but also dropped an easy pass that would have been a first down. Gentry should continue to see more snaps as the season goes on but will need to become more reliable if he wants his role to increase. An interesting wrinkle is the chemistry he possessed with rookie Mitch Trubisky during the preseason. If the quarterback is elevated to starter, Gentry may see a bump in targets as well.
