Wilson hauled in six of eight targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-17 win over the Chiefs.
With Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) and Eddie Royal (ankle) inactive Sunday, Wilson became the lead option in the Bears' receiving corps for the first time in his career, and certainly didn't disappoint. The 6-foot-4 wideout used his ample size and athleticism to make big plays, ripping the Chiefs secondary for receptions of 33 and 22 yards, the latter of which came on his first touchdown reception of the season, setting the stage for the Bears' fourth-quarter comeback. Though he didn't score the go-ahead touchdown for Chicago, Wilson played an integral role on the final drive, seeing two targets and drawing a pivotal 24-yard pass interference penalty. With back-to-back weeks of at least eight catches and 80 receiving yards on his game log, Wilson will likely attract interest on the waiver wire, but his fantasy stock for the Week 6 matchup against the Lions will be tied heavily to the health of Jeffery and Royal. If either or both players are deemed ready to return next Sunday, Wilson will likely see his targets tail off quite a bit.

Wilson grabbed six passes off of nine targets for 80 yards in Sunday's win over Oakland.
Wilson came out of hibernation on Sunday, collecting as many targets and double the receptions he totaled in the first three weeks of the season. Of Wilson's nine receptions this season, two have gone for 35 yards or more and he also drew a 22-yard pass interference on Sunday. Though he is likely going to lose targets once Alshon Jeffery returns, Wilson is showing Chicago's new coaching staff that he is an intriguing downfield target.

Wilson failed to catch either of his targets in Sunday's 26-0 loss at Seattle.
It's not like any Chicago pass catcher went off, as Jimmy Clausen threw for only 63 yards, but those in deeper leagues are looking for more from Wilson, especially with Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) out for the second straight week. Wilson has a favorable matchup in Week 4 against the Raiders, but it's hard to get excited about him, or any other Bears' wideout not named Jeffery.
Sun Sep 27 201515:15Wilson (shoulder) listed as active Sunday in Seattle
Wilson (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday in Seattle, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Even with Alshon Jeffery missing one of two games this season, Wilson hasn't produced much, recording three catches for 69 yards on seven targets. Jeffery is out again Sunday due to a hamstring injury, but Jimmy Clausen is directing the offense with Jay Cutler (hamstring) out, meaning Wilson may not produce much more in another start.
Fri Sep 25 201518:03Wilson (shoulder) probable for Sunday's game in Seattle
Wilson (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's game in Seattle.
Wilson returned to a full practice Friday, following limited sessions Wednesday and Thursday. With Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) ruled out and Eddie Royal (back/hip) questionable, Wilson figures to have a prominent role in the Chicago offense, albeit in a highly difficult matchup, with Jimmy Clausen replacing Jay Cutler (hamstring) at quarterback. Wilson had just one catch on five targets last week, despite playing nearly every offensive snap.
Wed Sep 23 201519:20Wilson (shoulder) limited in practice Wednesday
Wilson (shoulder) was limited in practice Wednesday, the Bears' official site reports.
Wilson has been afforded plenty of work this season, ranking second to Eddie Royal among Bears wideouts with 89.3 percent of the offensive snaps. However, Wilson's production hasn't responded in kind, as he's corralled three balls (on seven targets) for 69 yards. If Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) sits out yet again Sunday at Seattle, Wilson should sustain his vast workload, but the combination of likely starting QB Jimmy Clausen and Kam Chancellor's return to the Seahawks' secondary muddy Wilson's potential.

Wilson had one catch on five targets for 10 yards Sunday against the Cardinals.
Wilson was expected to get a bigger workload Sunday after Alshon Jeffery was ruled out with a calf injury, but it all changed when starting quarterback Jay Cutler was knocked out of the game in the second quarter with a hamstring injury. Backup Jimmy Clausen really struggled to get much going, which certainly contributed to Wilson's poor output. If Cutler is unable to play in Week 3 against the Seahawks, an already questionable matchup for fantasy purposes, Clausen will be under center, which will surely affect Wilson's upside.

Wilson is expected to take on an increased role in the Bears' game plan Sunday against the Cardinals with Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) inactive for the contest.
Jeffery's absence will pave the way for Wilson's entry into the starting lineup, where he'll function as the Bears' top deep threat on the outside while Eddie Royal works primarily in the short-to-intermediate range. The athletic and sizable Wilson has always been touted more for his physical gifts than his actual production, but Sunday's game will provide an opportunity for him to show what he can do with a larger sample of targets. He could make for a sneaky play in tournaments due to his low price along with the likelihood of an elevated role.

Wilson (hamstring) wasn't listed on the Bears' injury report Wednesday, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
After he was listed as questionable to play in Week 1 due to a nagging hamstring concern, Wilson proceeded to haul in both targets for 59 yards, including a 50-yard reception on the Bears' first drive of the fourth quarter. Potential owners should temper expectations, though, as he's at best the fifth option in the passing attack.

Wilson (hamstring) had two catches on two targets for 59 yards Sunday against the Packers.
Wilson was questionable coming into the game because of the injury, and while he finished second on the team in receiving yards, Alshon Jeffery (11), Matt Forte (eight), Martellus Bennett (seven) and Eddie Royal (five) all had more targets. Wilson's role as the No. 3 wideout doesn't lend to significant fantasy upside, and he could move further down the list when Kevin White (foot) his activated from the PUP list midseason.
Sun Sep 13 201511:44Wilson (hamstring) listed as active Sunday versus Packers
Wilson (hamstring) is listed as active Sunday versus the Packers, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Wilson's expected role as the Bears' No. 3 wide receiver would typically result in less targets behind the likes of Alshon Jeffery (calf) and Eddie Royal (hip). Although the duo is active Sunday, they were similarly limited in practice all week, which could afford Wilson more usage than normal. On the other hand, Jay Cutler favorites Martellus Bennett and Matt Forte are on hand to ensure Wilson remains a bit part in the passing game.

Wilson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's regular season opener against the Packers, the Chicago Tribune reports.
As are both Alshon Jeffery and Eddie Royal, though Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune has relayed optimism regarding the trio's Week 1 status. In any case, Wilson's fantasy utility hinges largely on the status of Jeffery and Royal. In the event that they both suit up, Wilson would be a speculative play Sunday in his assumed role as Chicago's No. 3 wideout.
Thu Sep 10 201517:07Wilson (hamstring) limited at Thursday's practice
Wilson (hamstring) was limited at Thursday's practice, ESPN Chicago's Jeff Dickerson reports.
Like Wilson, the Bears' top two wideouts -- Alshon Jeffery (calf) and Eddie Royal (hip) -- were also limited. With Kevin White (shin) on the PUP list and no longer a challenger for snaps, Wilson is poised to enter the season as the team's No. 3 receiver if he progresses as expected over the next couple of days.
Wed Sep 9 201514:47Wilson (hamstring) limited at practice Wednesday
Wilson (hamstring) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Wilson was joined by Alshon Jeffery (calf) and Eddie Royal (hip) in a limited capacity. If Jeffery is already on the same plane, activity-wise, Wilson's ability to make an impact in Week 1 is particularly hampered. However, the situation should receive more clarity as the week carries on.
Mon Sep 7 201514:23Wilson (hamstring) participated in Monday's practice
Wilson (hamstring) participated in Monday's practice, ESPN.com reports.
The same applies to fellow wideout Eddie Royal (hip), while Alshon Jeffery (calf) remained sidelined Monday. When all three are healthy and available, Wilson slots in as the Bears' No. 3 option at the position, but if Jeffery is limited (or out) this weekend, Wilson could see added opportunities in Sunday's season opener against Green Bay.
Sat Sep 5 201510:50Wilson (hamstring) appears to be making significant progress
Wilson (hamstring) appears to be making significant progress, according to ESPN Chicago's Jeff Dickerson.
Wilson and Eddie Royal (hip) both returned to practice this week, while Alshon Jeffery (calf) remains sidelined. Royal will probably get most of the snaps alongside Jeffery in two-wide sets, but if Jeffery misses Week 1, Wilson could play nearly every snap.
Tue Sep 1 201514:49Wilson (hamstring) did individual work at Tuesday's practice
Wilson (hamstring) did individual work at Tuesday's practice, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
As did Eddie Royal (hip), while Alshon Jeffery (calf) still hasn't returned to practice. All three receivers are expected to be ready for Week 1, and if that is in fact the case, Wilson may largely be limited to working in three-wide formations. Royal has mostly worked from slot to this point in his career, but he'll likely spend a lot of time on the outside in two-wide formations this season.
Mon Aug 31 201520:07Wilson (hamstring) remained out of practice Monday
Wilson (hamstring) remained out of practice Monday, ESPN Chicago reports.
Wilson joined the Bears' other top two receivers, Alshon Jeffery (calf) and Eddie Royal (hip) on the sideline for Monday's session, after none of the players were healthy enough to suit up for last weekend's preseason contest. With the Bears playing their exhibition finale Thursday, it seems unlikely we'll see Wilson get back on the field for game action until Week 1 of the regular season, assuming he's able to heal up by then. The lack of preseason reps could result in Wilson seeing limited volume in the passing game in the early going.
Thu Aug 27 201513:32Wilson (hamstring) did not practice Thursday
Wilson (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.
The same can be said of Alshon Jeffery (calf) and Eddie Royal (hip), with the depth of the Bears' wideout corps (which is already without Kevin White) looking pretty taxed in advance of Saturday's preseason contest against the Bengals.
Tue Aug 25 201514:56Wilson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) both missed Tuesday...
Wilson (hamstring) and Alshon Jeffery (calf) both missed Tuesday's practice, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Both receivers are expected to be ready for Week 1, but with the regular season approaching and Kevin White (leg) set to miss extended time, the situation bears close watching. If everyone besides White is healthy, Wilson will probably be fifth in the pecking order for targets, behind Jeffery, Eddie Royal, Martellus Bennett and Matt Forte.
