There are a lot of new faces that will be catching balls this season for the Chicago Bears’ offense. While it’s expected that Cameron Meredith and Kevin White emerge as the top two receivers out of this bunch, the rest of the crew is going to be neck-and-neck and battling for playing time.

Keep an eye on Victor Cruz, Kendall Wright and Markus Wheaton. Who runs the most with the first offense?  Wheaton was paid a hefty sum with a decent guaranteed contract, but could he fall all the way to the WR5 slot? Could Tanner Gentry emerge as a UDFA? Will Daniel Braverman finally work his way into the rotation? There are plenty of questions and not a lot of answers. This is definitely a position to watch.
