Ben Braunecker: D

One of my personal sleepers going into the season, Braunecker showed flashes of his potential in spots last year and with injuries to Burton and Shaheen, the door was wide open for him to produce on an every-play basis.

For a game or two, it seemed like he would do just that, catching a beautiful touchdown from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky on a post-corner route against the Detroit Lions in his first game as a starter. But that would be the extent of his highlights. Braunecker would see limited targets over the next game or so and had one of the worst drops of the year against the New York Giants, before exiting with a concussion that ultimately ended his season.

Braunecker is still an effective player on special teams, but any hope he could become a weapon on offense seems to have vanished.
