Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
With Meredith going down, who's going to step up? I had roster space so I'm taking a flyer on Tanner Gentry. Someone has to step up. Funny thing is, Meredith was in his same position 2 years ago as a UDFA with the Bears. I like the fact that Trubinksy loves the guy too. If you have deep rosters like me and can stash him on practice squad, why not. To me, this is the best part of fantasy. Finding the deep diamonds. who knows!! Check out this article that turned me on to him. He also had a beautiful 45 yard touchdown catch from Trubinsky the last Bears game.

Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
I picked him up in a couple leagues myself, actually before the Meredith injury. Buzz out Bears camp had been he's blowing things up for a while now. Total long shot but with Meredith going down, an already weak depth chart he would have to climb just got weaker. The only problem I'm facing is with roster crunch time coming, I'm probably going to have trouble holding him. So I worry that if I drop him, and then he does well, it will be more of a race to pick him up than I would like since I've raised awareness of him in my league by picking him up and someone will try to beat me to him.
Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
Yeah I had been trying to land him and Keelan Cole in all my leagues.
I think Gentry has solid WR2 possibilities when he finally gets some playing time. Would imagine he starts off as the WR5/6 for the Bears and plays some ST but fills in when the Bears see Wheaton isn't that good

Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
Just stashed him on my team - but will probably have to cut him at the weekend. Or hide him in the Taxi and cut jalen Richard instead. eminently possible

Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
I've been talking this guy up since April. Even with Meredith on the team, I thought he would get the no.2 spot. It's just going to take time

Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
Anything's possible at this point. The Bears have over 260 targets from 2016 unaccounted for and their most talented WR has only played 4 games in two seasons. It's likely an offense to avoid outside of Jordan Howard, but I think Kendall Wright and Zach Miller are smart adds right now.
Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
Yes, but these are the choices we make, I think CHI is going to be a tough physical team this year .. I really thought they were the more physical team by far when they played TEN .. think CHI is going to surprise some people, but they are not a offensive powerhouse, I suspect most games will be relatively low scoring affairs, so even if Gentry does extremely well, what will his ceiling really be??sugbear65 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 30, 2017 4:26 am I picked him up in a couple leagues myself, actually before the Meredith injury.

Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
The buzz on twitter is that he lost out to Titus Davis. Who is apparently Corey Davis' older brother. And has interesting college DR and breakout metrics, but went undrafted in 2015, got cut four times by three teams in '15 and '16, and nearly quit football. Hmm.

Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
I almost drafted Gentry as a sleeper pick in the 6th round of my rookie draft. Then I saw the news. Shocking to be honest.
Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
...and the Bears cut him. Wonder if he makes it to their practice squad

Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
I'm sure he will if he clears waivers, he really does have good size

Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
Some team will take a shot on him. Don't think he clears and ends up on practice squad.
Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
I'm guessing he will clear waivers. He really only had one standout play all preseason, the long TD catch in the 4th quarter vs Tennessee. Much of his buzz the last week or so was due to the perceived opportunity on Chicago's WR depth-chart with Meredith now out, not because Gentry's play itself was particularly eye-opening.

Re: Bears Sleeper? Tanner Gentry
I'd been hearing buzz all training camp about his connection with Trubisky. I don't think the last game was when it started. The situation in Chicago has been what's helping boost the buzz though. We wouldn't be as excited about him in Green Bay.ninotoreS wrote: ↑Sat Sep 02, 2017 11:24 am I'm guessing he will clear waivers.
