After solidifying their defensive backfield with their first two draft picks, Chicago invested a 3rd round pick in Velus Jones Jr. out of Tennessee. A dynamic special teams player with blazing speed (4.31 in the 40), Jones Jr. is a raw receiver despite several years of collegiate experience. Only in his final year with the Vols did he really pop as a receiver, showing enough for Chicago to add him to the mix. With the Bears, he has a real chance to make a mark with only a few cast-offs as roadblocks to playing time. Offseason reports sound great (as they usually do), with Jones Jr. making an impression on Mooney and building chemistry with Fields. Look for the Bears to ease him in during the first half of the year, using him on special teams, and a few deep shots to keep defenses honest. If he can accelerate his development as a receiver, and the offense can get behind Fields, Jones could make some fantasy noise down the stretch. If you have large rosters he might be worth a stash, and if you don't, make him a priority free agent.
