When Kevin White was drafted 7th overall by the Bears 2 years ago in the 2015 NFL draft, he was supposed to become an elite answer to the Bears receiving problems. White was super promising and I remember being really pumped to watch him that season. Then White before the season started suffered a season ending injury and was out the whole season. That was a huge blow to his confidence. The next season, White played a little but was mostly hurt. When he did play, he wasn't very good or productive. Heading into the 2017 season with the loss in free agency of WR1 Alshon Jeffrey, White was slated to be the Bears no. 2 receiver behind 2016 breakout Cameron Meredith. As the preseason went on, Meredith kept his role as the WR1 and White the WR2, then another huge blow to the Bears came. This week in the preseason, Meredith went down with a season ending injury, almost DESTROYING completely any of the Bears chances to have a passing game. Now the Bears are scrambling to figure out what they might do. Kevin White all the sudden could be the Bears only answer. White should now assume the no. 1 receiver role in front of Kendall Wright and Victor
Cruz. White could have a chance to reboot his career here. He is now the teams no. 1 receiver and he could really do something with it. He will be Mitch Trubisky and Mike Glennon's top target. This could mean Kevin White may become a fantasy stud. Right now he is probably a free agent in your league but if you have a player you don't mind dropping, I would pick White up and bench him for a week or 2 and see what he does. Then you can decide what you want to do with him. Drop, trade, start? White could very well become a fantasy stud because he is the Bears no. 1 receiver plus he has just been hurt his whole career and his skills have not been used. White could be a breakout fantasy star. Watch out!Thanks for reading!
