I personally am generally avoiding the situation. Terrell is the #1, but he is a perennial underachiever who I simply do not believe in. Wade has the other starting spot, so that takes away Gage's value.

The Bears have Terry Shea, the former Chief OC, and he is trying to implement a KC-style offense in Chicago. Shea admits that his system is more geared toward throwing to backs and TEs than to WRs. Thus, I am staying away from all Bear WRs until they show me something on the field, which Terrell never has. IMO, the only fantasy option in Chicago right now is Thomas Jones.

Ah, but you proved yourself wrong in your post. You said TJ is the only option, when in actuality Des Clark is a very underrated TE and a viable option in that offense.

My league does not require a TE, so Des Clark is pretty much worthless to me. In leagues requiring a TE, he may be a good option, but watch his injury situation. He has a hamstring injury and has not played or practiced with the first team in weeks.
No WRs from the Bears unless one starts showing something early in the season. I'm not very high on Des Clark either. There has never been a player that I've more frequently seen bounce balls off of his hands for INTs - I realize that those hurt Grossman, not him, but if that happens more than once or twice Grossman will stop throwing him the ball, even if it means going to a loudmouth underacheiver like DT.
