SUMMARY

Wide Receiver Rank: #79
Overall: #224

The Bears continue to say they will make Hester a bigger part of their passing game but the results don't back this talk up. Hester caught 26 passes for 369 yards, his lowest totals since his rookie season. He continues to make his mark as a return man. Hester had three return touchdowns last season. Hester probably is the top return man in the game right now. He has an amazing 17 return touchdowns in five seasons. He will get a few chances as a receiver but not consistent playing time, especially with the Bears going with a more run-heavy approach this season. Hester has just two of five seasons with more than 500-receiving yards. Hester is a big-play threat with the ball in his hands. He has electric moves and top speed. He has made strides as a receiver, but his biggest strength remains as a return man. He is a difference maker on special teams.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Hester continues to see his production dip as a receiver. Don't expect a turnaround. He is a must have in leagues that reward return yardage, though. He remains a huge threat on special teams. But if your league isn't setup that way, don't bother with Hester. He might get 400 yards with a score or two as a receiver.

He's gonna go out there and play.'

Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall believes WR Devin Hester will have a big year on offense this season and thinks Hester has the skills to be a Pro Bowl receiver. 'Honestly I think he is going to have a bigger year than me this year. I just don't think he's been in an environment, a situation offensively that catered to him as a player. I think with [quarterback coach Jeremy Bates] and [QB Jay Cutler] growing and maturing, I think they will be able to put him in a better position this year to where he can probably do damage. I'm excited about everyone else, but the person I'm more excited to see is Devin,' Marshall said.

Fantasy Impact: We have been hearing this often. Don't buy the hype for him to be a big-time fantasy producer.
