6. Wide receiver
The Bears have a crowded receivers room filled with a ton of talent, which starts at the top with Allen Robinson. Robinson is coming off a 1,000 yard season and entering a contract year, and he’s going to be the top target of whichever quarterback is under center. Third-year wideout Anthony Miller is a breakout candidate this season. While Miller got off to a slow start last season, there were moments where he showed that he’s capable of being a downfield threat in the passing game. There’s a lot of talent in that room, but they’re not going to be able to keep everyone on the 53-man roster.
Ultimately it’s Javon Wims who might find himself on the outside looking in given the loaded receivers room. Last season, Wims appeared in all 16 games, where he 18 receptions for 186 yards and his first career touchdown. He certainly showed promise, but this is ultimately a numbers game in terms of the six roster spots up for grabs. With Robinson, Miller, Cordarrelle Patterson and Ted Ginn Jr. virtual locks for a roster spot, that leaves two roster spots for Wims, Riley Ridley, Darnell Mooney and Trevor Davis to compete for.
