Rookie WR breakouts aren't all that common. Statistical aberrations are. That said, IF you were to look at Knox and Bennett and tag them as a particular sort of play, Bennett is slower but crafty, and Knox is fast as hell, but less experienced.
I don't want to say this, because I am obviously a homer, but is it dangerous to disregard a player like Knox, even though it's the Bears? Because... well, Cutler has that history of plenty of 300 yard games, and a lot of improvisation, etc. I have to think that someone on the Bears WR staff is going to distinguish himself this season, and to me, it would have to be Bennett, Knox, or Hester, but watching Knox play in the last 2 games... I'm leaning his way...
Probably dropping a speculative play to pick him up this week. Only one team ahead of me on WW priority.
Please take all of this with a grain of salt... it is usually not wise to make big plans for Chicago WRs.

Yeah, all I'm looking for is consistency here. After next week we'll be able to make a more calculated observation. If only there was an easy way to check out targets. But anyway...
I think Hester and Knox have the same and most value at this point in time in standard leagues. After Bennett's disappearing act last week I'm skeptical and can only hope he regains some value in PPR but I'm not sure.

Aren't those receptions, not targets? I recall Bennett having something like 13 targets last week for 7 catches. I own Bennett in a league, so I'm very concerned about Knox.
Yeah those are receptions. When I said I wish I had an easier way of finding out targets I thought that would imply that I couldn't find any as of yet. I can understand the mix up though sorry If I confused you.
Not going to be able to tell much from that as Bennett obviously was targeted HUGE in week 1 and was #3 in Targets in week 2, while Knox and Hester increased from week 1 to week 2 at the same pace.
I personally think you have to take Olsen's into account also. Give it one more week before we start calling either of Bennett/Knox/Hester the new Welker. I really do think that Knox comes out with the lead at some point, yes hes a rookie and they may be flashes in a pan, but this kid has great speed, outstanding body control and great hands. He has the best attributes of the three.

Great stuff . Where'd you find the target info? I'm a statistics junkie..
