They didn't offer much in the way of yardage Sunday, but Chicago Bears wide receivers Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall did account for the team's two touchdowns. Each receiver scored once in the Bears' 38-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Alshon Jeffery, Brandon Marshall both find the end zone Sunday for Bears, fantasy owners
The Chicago wide receivers accounted for both the team’s touchdowns Sunday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Jeffery had four catches for 39 yards in the game, adding a 12-yard rush and scoring on an 8-yard pass in the second quarter. Marshall caught only two passes, going for 19 yards, but he scored the game’s first touchdown on a 6-yard catch.
Fantasy impact: The two receivers combined for 70 yards from scrimmage in the game, easily their worst combined total of the season. After both put up exactly 71 yards in Week 1, Marshall had the big Week 2, with three touchdowns, followed by Jeffery going for 118 yards in Week 3.
There’s not much takeaway from the two receivers. Marshall is still recovering from injury, but both are must-starts whenever they’re on the field.
