Bears elevate WR Daniel Braverman to active roster

Nov 29, 2016

In search of help at wide receiver, the Bears signed 2016 seventh-round pick Daniel Braverman to the active roster on Tuesday and officially placed linebacker Danny Trevathan on injured reserve.

Braverman, a true slot receiver, had 213 receptions for 2,509 yards and 19 touchdowns over three seasons at Western Michigan. Braverman also returned punts and kicks in college on special teams.

Up until Tuesday, Braverman had spent the entire 2016 season on the Bears’ practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

The Bears are vulnerable at wide receiver with Eddie Royal battling a toe injury that’s limited him in recent weeks. Plus, Chicago’s wideouts dropped a staggering number of passes in last week’s 27-21 loss to Tennessee. Braverman is said to have good hands.

The Jaguars ruled out QB Trevor Lawrence and RB Tank Bigsby for Sunday's game at Detroit.

Related Players: Mac Jones, Travis Etienne, D'Ernest Johnson

Fantasy Impact:

We already knew Mac Jones was declared the starter, but Bigsby being out gives a boost to Etienne. That said, he's still a borderline RB2/3 in a bad offense, in a bad matchup.

The Lions ruled out TE Sam LaPorta (shoulder) for Sunday's game vs. Jacksonville.

Related Players: Brock Wright, Shane Zylstra

Fantasy Impact:

LaPorta's mediocre sophomore season could have gotten a great boost here against a soft Jaguars defense, but no luck. Brock Wright is an interesting "close your eyes and click" option for very deep leagues.
