5 Wide Receivers That Could Alter Bears' Offensive Identity At Deadline

The Bears have five options to consider: AJ Green, Will Fuller, Jamison Crowder, DaVante Parker, and Odell Beckham Jr. The November 4th trade deadline is the cutoff for any potential moves. Will Fuller is considered the second-best realistic option due to his breakaway speed and 11.1 yards per target.

Chicago ranks 25th in total points with 125 and averages a league-worst 3.8 yards after the catch, fourth-worst in the NFL. Nick Foles also has an average of just 1.9 seconds before the pocket collapses, making explosive playmakers a necessity. The Bears need a dynamic pass-catcher to complement Allen Robinson.

OBJ is considered a pipe dream for the Bears given their cap situation and the fact that he is set to make around $14 million over the next three seasons. The Bears also have yet to sign Allen Robinson to a new contract, further limiting their financial flexibility. The Browns are also 4-2 and unlikely to trade away one of their top weapons.

Will Fuller has a 68.3% catch rate, averages 11.1 yards per target, and is considered a great red-zone target. He would serve as an ideal complement to Allen Robinson and is a UFA after the season, making the risk very low for a cap-stricken Bears team. The Texans sit at 1-5 and are in a position to sell off assets.

The Bears are 5-1 and undefeated in their conference heading into the November 4th trade deadline. Despite their strong record, their offense ranks 25th in total points with 125 scored on the season. The run game has also struggled, averaging just 2.5 yards per carry against a bottom-ten run defense in Carolina.
