Bears | Alshon Jeffery likely to get shadowed

Chicago Bears WR Alshon Jeffery will likely draw Minnesota Vikings CB Xavier Rhodes for the bulk of their Week 8 matchup Monday, Oct. 29.

Footballguys View: Rhodes is going to be tested early and often in this matchup. QB Jay Cutler is back in the starting lineup for the Bears, and he loves peppering Jeffery with passes throughout the game. We’ve got Jeffery as a high-end WR2 this week.

Bears | Eddie Royal doubtful for Week 8

Chicago Bears WR Eddie Royal (toe) did not practice this week and is listed as doubtful for Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Footballguys View: It will be interesting to see how the targets are distributed by QB Jay Cutler in this tough matchup against the Vikings. We know WR Alshon Jeffery should get plenty of looks, but what about guys like WR Cameron Meredith and TE Zach Miller? We’ve got Meredith as a WR3 with upside and Miller as a high-end TE2 in Week 8.
