Now I don't know if I should sell or buy...
Really though, I think I'll try to sell see what I can get. I'll be happy with a late 2nd although I doubt I could get it.

Former WSU WR Marquess Wilson (2 Viewers)

Really though, I think I'll try to sell see what I can get. I'll be happy with a late 2nd although I doubt I could get it.
Maybe these guys aren't in the same boat, but I've held him since I spent a 3rd rounder on him. Two years taking up a roster spot - I'm not selling now.
That's exactly what I would be hoping someone would think if I offered him up in a trade.Papa John said:
It could be that he does end up the #2. I just don't see it. I think people often overreact this time of year to perceived depth chart changes. FA and the draft change a lot. If Wilson had looked better to me last year I might be on board but he did not look much to me-nothing stood out about him really. Not good enough IMO to survive FA and the draft. Trestman seemed to really like him but he's gone. I think Wilson is more like a developmental WR4. A nice situational deep threat, but not good enough right now to start or play the slot.
If I had him and could get a second or a third I'd take it.
I cut him less than a week ago in the one league I do have him. I have two reasons I regret cutting him. One is I kept Bryce Brown, the other is I think I could have got a third round pick at least for Wilson. I don't find myself regretting cutting someone I believe will be the new Bears starting WR next season.

He was injured for nearly the entire year with a broken collarbone. That generally leads one to "not look so great", especially when they are a young WR. He was raw and lean, coming into the league at 20 years old ... But with solid talent. He is now only 22. I'll take that all day on a team that is clearly rebuilding and is likely to give him a shot. If he stays healthy he should grow and produce very nicely this year.

As of a few days ago, I traded Wilson away... for basically nothing (one round draft upgrade late in my league's rookie draft next year). Hated to do it, but with the offensive scheme change and then drafting of Kevin White, I just didn't see much promise for Wilson at this time. The Bears actually have a lot of capable pass catchers... Jeffery, White, Royal, Bennett, and Forte).

That may have been a mistake. He was really coming on in training camp last year before injury. I'm sure he will be pushing White and fighting to get his playing time. He is hungry and that can never be discounted. He also has the talent to excel in the NFL. I would hold him until the situation becomes more clear.

Yeah, could well be. I simply feel, in my league, I can find another fairly equal roster stash on the WW at this point. I like Wilson pretty well, but I don't like the situation near as much as I did a few months ago.

This thread is funny ... (and, I confess I am a M. Wilson owner)
When Wilson was initially drafted he was a "potential" guy with loads of talent, just very young (20) and very lean. That all showed his first year in the league. Then, last year, he was a hot dynasty (and, even redraft) sleeper, even though Marshall, Alshon, Bennett and Forte were ahead of him. He then broke his collar bone and never really was able to stack on the camp buzz and progress he allegedly made in that off-season.
This off-season the Bears change staffs, and attained Adam Gase is their OC. From what I remember from DEN, Gase is pretty good at running when needed and passing when needed. If nothing else, he knows how to coordinate an offense and passing attack for sure.
Then, Brandon Marshall is traded, and Wilson is again a hot "potential" guy. Now, not 3 months after that trade, White is drafted and Wilson is a guy we are all giving up on? Something about that just doesn't seem right when a guy has his skill and is merely 22 years old.
Given all of this (above), I think he is a wait and see in re-draft this year, but a strong buy in dynasty (remember, Alshon Jeffrey is in a contract year too).
Just my $0.02

Man nothing but silence on this guy... seems like a wide open opportunity to play the Decker/Sanders role in Gase's offense. Wilson has disappointed, but he was coming off injury in a rather dysfunctional situation last year. Keep in mind he's actually 3 months YOUNGER than Kevin White who now may be shelved for the season.
Phenom Index loved him, and if you buy into age-adjusted production, his freshman and sophomore years at WSU were ridiculous.
He's available really, really late or possibly off the waiver wire. Why not use one of your final roster spots to see what happens?

I consider Wilson a 'medium desperate' WR3 play this weekend... but I am considering him.
Jeffery was limited in Thursday practice. Royal missed the last 2 practices. Chiefs defense is giving up passing yards.

Wilson came early into the league as a 20 year old late round character guy who got kicked off his team and he only weight 184 lbs.
Last summer he broke his collarbone and didn't get back until November but had to deal with WR Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery.
Bears went out and drafted a WR in the top ten but he's out for the season. Then they traded away Brandon Marshall so he's out of the picture. Now Alshon is gimped up and WR Eddie Royale is OUT.
Wilson is listed at 199 lbs but was up to 207 lbs last year before he got injured. He's 23 yrs old so he's more mature and of course he is over his broken collarbone. Oh and he's coming off of his single best game of his career catching 6 passes for 80 yards.
Waldman was high on him prior to the draft when he was a 20 year old 184 lb character concern guy but he's put on enough weight, he's more mature, and he's learned over the past two and a half years and now he's got the opportunity not only today but he could carve out a bigger role for the remainder of the year.
Looks like a fantastic add IMHO.

Have to roll with him due to byes and Martavis crapping out. This has failed me before in this type of scenario.

Footballguy
Yep, rough week for byes, but he's the number 1 WR there today, and you gotta figure the Bears will be playing from behind, so...

Not bad.
- 6 receptions
- 85 yards
- 1 TD
Not bad at all.

Chicago Bears WR Marques Wilson getting his shot and stepping up story that has its share of sputters. New developments have presented him with a chance to write a new chapter in his career. Timing is everything and planets have aligned to give Wilson an opportunity and he's stepping up so the time to get in is now.
When Rookie WR Kevin White got injured and when WR Brandon Marshall got traded it seemed to open the door but Wilson couldn't beat out the guys ahead of him but currently both WR Alshon Jeffery and WR Eddie Royale dealing with injuries and that has opened the door for Marques Wilson.
Last week Wilson stepped in but could he do it two weeks in a row or gain the trust of Culter and Bears OC Adam Gase? It didn't seem like it early in the game against KC as Gase went conservative and KC adjusted to stop the run and shot passing game. Gase had no other choice so he dialed it up and Cutler went to Wilson and it clicked.
Go back to the pre-draft reports on this kid's raw talent before he put on weight and developed his game.
Time is now to buy low.

He made a nice catch for the TD. It was a perfectly placed ball by Cutler in to what looked like double coverage. Excellent concentration to make the catch.
I must thank Bloom and co for bigging this guy up on the Sunday morning hangout. Picked him up and ended up starting him. He was my top WR for the week. Love your work guys!

Didn't need his points in order to win but glad I was right about the spot start anyway.

I love the guy, but his value is at a peak right now. Once White comes back, Cutler just can't support 2 WR's, Bennett, and Forte (in the passing game). So I'm not sure what I want to do. Like I said, I do like the guy, but I also love White. Have an offer of Charles Sims and a 4th on the table right now, but I'm kind of WR needy.

I want to buy into him, but with Royal and Jeffrey back I'm not too sure he'll get the targets.

Who says either will be back this week, especially Jeffery. Man that guy is killing me--talk about come up on the wrong side of heads or tails. Early Rd 3, my choice was between him and DeAndre Hopkins. Botched that one!

Yeah I didn't think these guys were expected back yet either.

I'm playing him over beckham in a yardage-only league, can't take the chance with him being little more than a decoy. Bennett is banged up also, think Wilson can realistically score 7/100

Dropped McFadden for him. I feel much better.
