Player Notes
November 30, 2008
Devin Hester had three catches for 67 yards and one touchdown in Week 13.

Our View:Hester hasn't been spectacular, but he has been good for a spot start or two for fantasy owners this season.
November 28, 2008
Devin Hester was held out of Sunday's practice only to rest, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Our View:Hester has missed some time this season with injuries, but he was on his game last week against St. Louis when he had five catches and two rushes for a total of 77 yards.
November 24, 2008
The Bears employed Devin Hester behind center in the wildcat formation Sunday, and he fared well with two rushes for 32 yards, with a long of 20, according to the Chicago Tribune. He also led the Bears with five receptions for 57 yards.

Our View:Hester looks to hold more value for the rest of the season while being taken off of special teams as a return man, and being utilized more on offense. He is worth a look if you need help at receiver.
November 21, 2008
The Chicago Tribune reports that Danieal Manning will be the Bears' No. 1 kick returner on Sunday in St. Louis in place of Devin Hester.

Our View:Manning replaced Hester in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Packers and provided an immediate spark on a listless day. He continued to work as the top kickoff returner as the Bears began practice this week. Hester should be able to focus exclusively on developing as a wide receiver. He has 26 catches and two touchdowns this season, but no kick returns for touchdowns.
November 17, 2008
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the Bears went with Danieal Manning on kickoff returns instead of Devin Hester in the fourth quarter of their 37-3 drubbing at the hands of Green Bay. The move was made in order to try and spark the team in the midst of being blown out.

Our View:We doubt that this is a permanent switch, but it should be noted that Manning accumulated 27.3 yards per return to Hester's 22.8.
