Wims or James Daniels get their 1st starts this week?

I’ll say no to both. Wims could get some action with Miller likely being out with that shoulder issue but he won’t start. Daniels clearly isn’t ready in the minds of the coaching staff. They feel more comfortable with Eric Kush at the moment. To be fair he’s been reliable in pass protection, though his run blocking has been a weak point. Maybe the situations can change for both depending on what happens against Tampa Bay but it’s status quo right now.

What is the #Bears WR YAC ranking compared to other teams?

Right now the Bears are 24th in the NFL with 331 yards after the catch. One of the problems is they haven’t been able to get their speed guys in space where they can utilize those talents. When they have it always seems like Trubisky just misses them on the play. It’s rather frustrating. Surprising? No. Keep in mind everybody is new in this offense. They’re not playing at their full speeds because they’re all still thinking too much. This stat should improve as the season goes on.
