No. 4: Wide Receiver Anthony Miller, Chicago Bears

Rookie Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller had quite the breakout game against a shorthanded Detroit Lions defense in Week 10, hauling in five catches for 122 yards and a touchdown.

    • And 45 of those yards came off a breakaway for a touchdown, always impressing fantasy football owners.

    It’s certainly possible Bears head coach Matt Nagy is looking to solidify Chicago’s 2018 second-round NFL Draft pick into a bona fide No. 2 role, which spells good things for those needing either a WR2 or FLEX option heading into Week 11.

    The Bears play the Minnesota Vikings this week, which would have been a no-start contest for most fringe wideouts a year ago. Yet the Vikings have underachieved a bit this season, and the 6.4 pass-yards-per-attempt average ranks 15th in the NFL.

    But what makes this intriguing is the fact the 6-3 division-leading Bears are playing well this season. And divisional showdowns are always worth watching.

    Miller is projected to post 10.4 fantasy football points in points-per-reception (PPR) leagues but is owned in just 33.9 percent of them.

    Climbing fast, however.
