No one should feel left out if he or she is not familiar with the career of Chicago Bears wide receiver Marquess Wilson. The wide receiver has been a part of the Bears’ organization since 2013, but he has yet to do anything on the field that would leave a lasting memory in someone’s mind.

However, last week during Chicago’s game against the Tennessee Titans, Wilson exploded for eight catches, 125 yards, and one touchdown on 11 targets. Is this the type of performance that can be expected from the pass catcher for the remainder of the season?
Fantasy Impact: Wilson certainly has an opportunity to put up even more impressive numbers this weekend when he and the Bears face off against the San Francisco 49ers.
Of all 32 NFL teams, the 49ers are giving up the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers in 2016. In their last four games, San Francisco has allowed the position group to haul in seven touchdowns.
Yahoo! is only projecting Wilson to finish with three catches for 48 yards on Sunday. But his matchup alone should be intriguing enough for those fantasy owners looking to take a risk this week.
