Taylor Gabriel Not Fantasy Viable Against Packers
6 years agoChicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel has totaled only 39 receiving yards over his last two games heading into the team's matchup against the Packers in Week 15. Gabriel has been solid, yet unspectacular, this season for his new team with 57 receptions for 566 yards and only two touchdowns. Gabriel has been deployed as the deep threat in the Bears passing offense but quarterback Mitch Trubisky has consistently under-thrown the speedster. Gabriel lacks the height to make contested catches and, therefore, has struggled to post positive fantasy stat lines. He will go up against a Packers defense that has allowed the third most fantasy points to opposing receivers, including surrendering nine-plus fantasy points to 21 different receivers this season. But despite the matchup, Gabriel will be no higher than a low-floor WR4/5 in Week 15.
