Eddie Royal

This ends the ugly season for Royal, who appeared in 9 games in 2016 and amassed only 33 catches. Royal was a total non-factor in the Bears offense this season and it doesn't stand a good chance to be in a Bears uniform in 2017.

Royal has only 33 catches in 9 games this year, so this news should not impact anyone in the fantasy realm. It will be Alshon and Cam Meredith seeing the majority of the targets this week.

Royal has yet to practice this week and has been dealing with various injuries all season. The Bears are hurting for playmakers with all their injuries on offense. Even if Royal does play, he can't be trusted to play and shouldn't be owned in any formats.

Royal has been dealing with a toe injury for most of this season and has missed the last two games as a result, so it's no surprise that he didn't practice today. Royal will likely be a game-time decision again this week but I wouldn't be itching to use him if he does suit up as he's caught just 4 passes for 31 yards in his last four games that he's played.
