Thanks a lot for this list.

I haven't gotten to any Vikings stuff since yesterday morning yet but from what last I was reading it sounded like Wiggins would be limited if he can play at all. So unless that has changed I would expect a few more targets for Taylor and Robinson in the upcoming game vs. the Bears.

Chester is fine and will be the Vikings main weapon once again. However due to his limited speed the Bears defense does have an advantage against him. In the Bears/Vikings 1st game the Bears played a lot of pass calls and were focusing on stopping Troy Williamson for the majority of that game. Taylor had some success against them but when they focused on stopping him he was met at the line or behind the LOS most of the time. He will still be very busy in this game but I wouldn't expect a very good game from him this time in soldier field.

Last time Chester Taylor played the Bears he got 20 carries 74 yards 3.7ypc 3 catches 15 yards. I could see his YPC possibly being less this time due to the Bears focusing more on stopping him this time around.

My pleasure Biabreakable Even if it only helps 1 Shark it was worth the effort.My concern about the Vikings, is practicing all week without their most "KEY" weapons. It almost has to create timing issues? Plus the fact you mention, Da Bears Defense at home, Ouch. RW

FWIW I wouldn't want to be starting any Vikings players in this upcoming game but I know some are looking at Robinson or Taylor as a WR3 option. They should have more targets with Wiggins being hobbled. Williamson has been benched because of dropping catchable balls. So the Bears will not have to worry about the deep threat that he is which makes life much harder for the Vikings O. This would be one of the few games to consider not playing Chester Taylor if you have another option imho. Not because he isn't healthy.. he is fine.. but he is not going to have much room to opperate and the whole Bears defense is going to be focused on him.
