Holtz, 28, appeared in 29-of-33 games for the Bears over the last two seasons, but close to 400 of his snaps were played on special teams. He saw just 158 snaps on offense in that time, failing to catch his only target. Holtz will compete for a spot at the end of the Saints' roster.

When the Bears suffered injuries to their top-three tight ends, Holtz was thrust into a prominent role down the stretch, but he averaged fewer than two receptions over six games. He'll be an exclusive rights free agent this off-season, and it's likely he'll look to compete for a backup role wherever he signs.

Holtz saw just one target for the third game in a row, and he won't be a strong fantasy option in a Week 17 matchup against the Vikings.

Holtz's stock climbed rapidly after Week 14's 56-yard performance. Sunday's outing should level things out a bit. The rookie, thanks to injuries, has climbed up the depth chart and the Bears' offense has shown more signs of life as of late, but he's a tough play Sunday against a rallying Chiefs team with a tenacious safety over the middle in Tyrann Mathieu.
