Bears Aromashodu learning all 3 WR spots

Aug 05, 2010

Wide receiver Devin Aromashodu, who has had a strong start to training camp, elevated his game Wednesday night.

He caught everything thrown in his direction, most notably a laser in the right corner of the end zone from quarterback Jay Cutler.

''Sometimes you come out and stuff clicks for you,'' Aromashodu said. ''Tonight, stuff was going right, so I'm just happy.''

Much of the focus has centered on Devin Hester and Johnny Knox, the starting receivers, but coaches have emphasized that Aromashodu will be a key part of the offense, too. He's working to learn all three receiver spots, including the slot.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
