Summary

Wide Receiver Rank: #110All Players: #313

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.

Head coach Marc Trestman said Hester will focus on being the team's return man.
Fantasy Impact: Hester is going to get very little work as a receiver this season.

Feb 03 10:22 am

Chicago Bears WR Devin Hester said he has no plans to retire at this time; however, he may need a change of scenery in the offseason. Hester felt totally ignored on offense, at times. His frustration mounted and he lacked focus as his touches faded both during games and in practice. 'I'm not making any excuses. I know some of the plays I should have made in terms of catching the ball. But I just wasn't feeling it. My mind wasn't there the majority of the time,' Hester said. In terms of seeking a trade, Hester said, 'It's a possibility. I'm loyal to my team. But the fans and my teammates have to understand where I'm coming from.'

Feb 01 02:42 pm

With a new coach in Chicago, WR Devin Hester could benefit from a fresh start in a new city, according to Jeff Dickerson, of ESPN Chicago. The Bears still could use Hester on special teams, but it is unlikely he would be asked to contribute much to the offense.
Fantasy Impact: We can't see the Bears letting him go because of his value on special teams but you never know.

Jan 16 09:03 pm

Chicago Bears special teams coach Dave Toub said Wednesday, Jan. 16, that WR Devin Hester just needs to start having fun to return to the form that made him one of the most dangerous players in the NFL. 'He still has a lot of talent,' Toub said in a radio interview. 'You see it in practice. It's more mental with him. He has to get his mind right, and once that thing starts clicking, he's going to be fine.'
