With Earl Bennett (concussion) out for Week 15, Devin Hester will man the slot for the Bears against the Packers. Bennett missed Week 14 with the head injury, so Hester played his second-highest snap count of the season and was targeted a season-high eight times out of the slot. Despite seeing a heavy dose of reps, Hester is not a reliable fantasy option.

Devin Hester (concussion) is listed as probable for Week 14. With Alshon Jeffery due back this week, Hester will likely be Chicago's No. 3 receiver against Minnesota. Hester is not on the fantasy football radar.

Devin Hester (concussion) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, but has yet to be cleared for full contact. Typically, concussed players don't resume practicing in any fashion unless they expect to be cleared, so Hester will likely suit up for Sunday's game against the Vikings. His status will be updated on Friday, but Hester is barely even relevant in leagues with return yardage.

Devin Hester (concussion) has yet to practice this week. His status remains up in the air for Week 13. An afterthought in the passing game, Hester is averaging just 20 yards per game this year. His game-day availability is more relevant for NFL watchers in general than fantasy owners.

Devin Hester exited Sunday's Week 12 game with a concussion and is done for the day. Doctors took Hester into the locker room for evaluation, and he was determined to have been concussed on medical tests. The Bears are now significantly shorthanded at receiver with Alshon Jeffery out and Dane Sanzenbacher inactive.

Devin Hester led the Bears with three catches for 23 yards in Monday night's Week 11 loss to the 49ers. Hester tied for the team-lead with three of his teammates with four targets, but the passing game was a complete debacle. He didn't start seeing regular offensive snaps until Alshon Jeffery exited early in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. Hester is off the fantasy radar.

Devin Hester caught two passes for four yards in Week 10 against the Texans. Hester got the start opposite Brandon Marshall once again with Alshon Jeffery (hand) out but did nothing in the passing game. He had a 40-plus yard completion taken away when it was deemed that Jay Cutler had crossed the line of scrimmage before throwing the ball. Jeffery is expected to return in Week 11, so Hester should return to the waiver wire in mostly all formats.

Devin Hester caught two passes for 19 yards in Chicago's Week 9 rout of the Titans. Hester has notched more than two catches just twice in eight games. With 50 percent of the Bears season in the books, Hester is on pace for a typically lackluster 26/352/4 line.

Devin Hester played 59-of-72 snaps (81 percent) versus the Lions in Week 7. Slot receiver Earl Bennett was on the field for 38 snaps (53 percent). The "Hester package" produced a season-high three receptions, which simply doesn't cut in fantasy leagues. Hester is a good bet to keep playing the most snaps behind Brandon Marshall, but he's not a fantasy starter with Alshon Jeffery out of the lineup.

Devin Hester caught three passes for 38 yards in Week 7. Hester got the start opposite Brandon Marshall since Alshon Jeffery (broken hand) was out, but he still didn't produce enough to warrant any fantasy consideration moving forward. Hester is strictly a package player and gimmicky weapon.
