TD heavy scoring (1 point for every 25 yds, 6 per TD and nothing else). Not looking for someone to carry my team, gonna be #3 WR and I have RB depth so probably won't play too much at flex either. Thanks!

I would go Allen Robinson...

Conventional wisdom says Fitzgerald


There is no logic to defend Funchess...

Normally, I'd say Larry easily. But TD being more of a factor makes me wonder.
Sure there is logic for Funchess. It is logical to think he has the most TD out of the three. It's a gamble, but he is healthy, a nice RZ target, has a great QB, and little competition. Larry Legend is a legend, but will age and Bradford (and a healthy DJ) become a factor? Robinson is coming off major injury and is on a Bears team that is a total wild card right now.

This is close. It's a Funchess/Fitzgerald toss up. So I ask, can't get them both?

I got to go Fitzgerald here - you'll be able to find a good replacement on waivers if age/poor QB play finally catches up to him (hasn't yet!)

Fitz.
He's gonna get the rock.
Bradford is accurate.
Rosen has a good arm.

Is Robinson's situation better on a new team, with a young QB, coming off an injury?

Funchess is 3rd or even 4th fiddle there.

Fitz for me, I do see the hesitation that TKO has, but my guess, with Olsen back, CMac, CJ Anderson, and Cam, most redzone scores will likely go that direction. I imagine last year may very well have been Funchess's peak throughout his career. Going down here on out

I think Robinson is the most talented of the receivers(with the old fitz)... But you are right that the injury is such a question mark, and we dont know how healthy he is...

But all three dont exactly have a great QB... And chicago has the worst running game of the three...

Fitz even with the lack of TD’s. Got him late last year bc he dropped and he was a huge pickup. I dont see his production dropping anytime soon, doesnt matter who is throwing to him.

Robinson is coming off injury and a new team. Could be the best but too many question marks and could go through a rough patch to start the season.

Funchess could be a sleeper pick but Fitz is going to get you 1,000 and 100 receptions most likely. He only had 6 TD’s the last two years but you still know what you are getting

I'm not convinced the Bears' offense will be that good. Nothing against Robinson.

Didn't help that the Bears basically benched Trubisky all preseason and why? To not show their hand? The guy needed real NFL, nonpractice, experience in a new system and they declined to give it to him.
Argh.

Believe @TREFF nailed it regarding Funchess and the Panthers.

I got Robinson and Fitzgerald as my top receivers in a 12 team fantasy league, and I’m happy. I got Robinson 24 picks after Fitz, and funchess was way after Robinson. I see Fitzgerald being a clear starter when healthy. I see Allen Robinson having some big games, but there are a lot of weapons on that bears team and aren’t sure the QB can feed them all appropriately. I see their talent level about the same right now, but Larry is clearly the number 2 option on the field after David Johnson. Allen Robinson is about on par with 3 other options for the Bears with Howard (who could have a huge year), Burton, and Miller (just watch this kid bust out this year.) Funchess will never be a good fantasy WR until he leaves Carolina.
