ANALYSIS: Jakeem Grant Sr.'s season is just fascinating. He kicked the year off playing for Miami in Week 2... and scoring negative-1.0 PPR points. You read that right, negative points. We didn't know a thing about Grant and never heard back from him until he hit the field running once more in Week 11... playing for the Chicago Bears. He scored 2.7 FP then, doubled on that with 4.5 in W12, and he just exploded for a top-16 finish at the wide receiver position this past Sunday. Uh, oh, flex on the haters.

The Bears were forced to deploy QB Andy Dalton as the starter with rookie Justin Fields still recovering from injury. Not that playing Dalton really killed Grant's upside--far from it. Grant was able to hit 17.2 PPR points against Arizona putting up numbers and closing the weekend with a 7-5-62-1 receiving line. Of course, all of those stats marked season-high tallies for Grant. No Bears skill-position player logged more than 7 targets other than RB David Montgomery, and the tailback was the lone man with a higher FP tally on the weekend.

Even with Allen Robinson out and expected back at some point, Grant played so well that it's probable he's ascended to at least a WR3 role only behind A-Rob and Darnell Mooney. That's just guessing, but it could very well be the case, so if you have room to land a flier then Grant should be a serious WW target (deepest leagues only, mind you) to consider for the few next games of the season before it's all said and done.
