Tanner Gentry Fantasy Stats

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.

With the news that wide receiver Kevin White was placed on IR with a broken collarbone, undrafted rookie Tanner Gentry has been elevated to the active roster, per NFL.com. Gentry made a huge splash throughout training camp and the preseason opening up a lot of eyes among Bears coaches. Gentry was one of the few players that consistently made plays in the offense all summer and now will get an opportunity in a depleted receiver corps. He also has demonstrated chemistry with rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky, a pairing that could develop in the second half of the season. Gentry should not be owned currently in fantasy but it's anyone's guess moving forward who will emerge as the number one receiver in the Bears offense.

In a surprising move, the Chicago Bears cut wide receiver Tanner Gentry on Saturday. The undrafted free agent out of Wyoming was one of the team's better receivers in the preseason, and he's expected to remain with Chicago on the practice squad. If any of the other wideouts in Chicago were to get injured during the season, Gentry could be the first one brought up to the active roster.

Undrafted rookie Tanner Gentry is making a strong case to make the final roster, per wgnradio.com. Gentry will certainly need to make some plays in the final preseason game against the Browns but it is a testament to how strong of a training camp he has had to put himself in this position in the first place. Gentry has consistently used his speed in practice to make big-time catches and topped that with a 45-yard score from Mitch Trubisky in last week's game against the Titans. The Bears will have to decide between veteran receiver Victor Cruz and special team players like Josh Bellamy or Deonte Thompson. For a receiving corps that lacks top-end talent, the Bears have some complicated decisions to make on the back end of the depth chart at the position.

Tanner Gentry caught a 45-yard touchdown pass from rookie Mitch Trubisky in the Bears 19-7 win over the Titans. The undrafted rookie from Wyoming continues to make plays every time he receives on-field opportunities. With the injury to Cameron Meredith, a wide receiver spot is up for grabs. Gentry has been a training camp darling and now is making plays during games. It may come down to his performance in the final preseason game against the Browns but Gentry is making a strong case.

Wide receiver Tanner Gentry made another huge play at Bears training camp, catching a deep pass from quarterback Mark Sanchez during a two-minute drill. Gentry seems to be making plays every day in an effort to make the team and particularly has created a chemistry with rookie Mitch Trubisky. Gentry still needs to produce in the preseason but the undrafted rookie is making a case to at the very least make the practice squad for some NFL team, if not the Bears, right now.
