It makes sense that the Bears will consider any decent wideout, but is Kearse really much of an improvement for them? What are expectations for him if he landed in Chicago?King of the Jungle said:Da'Bears

No sure he is much of an improvement and I guess it would depend on how they feel about White. The team needs somebody to catch the ball though. Not sure what Kearses contract is but I remember thinking they paid a little too much at the time. Either way he is a warm body which Chicago could use at that position right now.It makes sense that the Bears will consider any decent wideout, but is Kearse really much of an improvement for them?

Chicago already has 2 slot receivers. Didn't need himNo sure he is much of an improvement and I guess it would depend on how they feel about White. The team needs somebody to catch the ball though.

I was the only person in my 12 team dynasty that put in a BB waiver request on him. He'll ride the end of my bench for now but if he keeps getting targets he could be a nice #3.Two games in is Kearse's performance a trend or mirage? I haven't seen any Jets games so can't say.
If the former he seems like a great asset to acquire that others might think they are selling high.
He fell to me at 14th spot in week 1 claims in a deep dynasty. I had him ranked as my top pick. ?I was the only person in my 12 team dynasty that put in a BB waiver request on him. He'll ride the end of my bench for now but if he keeps getting targets he could be a nice #3.
McCown seems to like him and he's the only "professional" WR on the roster right now. He hasn't look flashy or anything but he runs solid routes and gets open and he's been McCown's first look.Two games in is Kearse's performance a trend or mirage? I haven't seen any Jets games so can't say.

Austin Sefarian-Jenkins comes back this week, giving the team another weapon. Personally I agree that Kearse's start is not sustainable but the offense has looked a little better than advertised.I have so much trouble believing in this guy, particularly on this team. One week is an interesting performance, two weeks is a coincidence but if you want a breakout player cheap you need to buy now and hope week three makes it a fact.
And if he pays off I strongly encourage everyone to sell high because you have to imagine, if he's the only real offensive weapon on the Jets, defenses will start to focus on him and shut him down in the second half of the season.
Apparently, ASJ came back from his two week vacation out of shape. Perhaps that newfound commitment was more of a training camp mirage. There's going to be a lot of garbage time production in this offense. I agree with the poster who said that as long as McCown is the starter, Kearse will get his. That all changes when Petty takes over and starts winging it deep, at which point you'll see a bump for Anderson.Austin Sefarian-Jenkins comes back this week, giving the team another weapon.

Jermaine Kearse has been diagnosed with a broken left leg and "assorted injuries to his ankle."
It's the worst possible news but not surprising after the way Kearse went down. The 29-year-old's 2019 is over. Kearse had been fighting for No. 4 duties in the Lions' run-first offense. The Lions have little of note behind Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola. Coming off a dismal 2018 where he averaged just 10.0 yards on 37 catches as a Jet, Kearse's NFL career is winding down. This injury could sadly force him out of the league.
