Morgan (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Morgan is ready to go after missing last week's game, but it's hard to see him making a fantasy impact as Chicago's fourth wideout.

Morgan (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Vikings, Michael C. Wright of ESPN Chicago reports.
The Bears' passing attack focuses primarily on the three-headed monster of Brandon Marshall (ankle), Alshon Jeffery, and Martellus Bennett (shoulder), leaving scraps for Jay Cutler's remaining options, including Morgan (10 targets in eight games this season).

Morgan (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Morgan didn't practice all week, but even if he ended up active it's hard to see him playing much with Marquess Wilson (collarbone) back in the mix.

Morgan caught one of his two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 55-14 loss to the Packers.
As has been the case all season, Morgan didn't do anything noteworthy in the passing game, but the fourth-quarter ankle injury to Brandon Marshall could help his cause. Though the severity of Marshall's ankle ailment remains unknown at this time, if the receiver is unable to play next Sunday against the Vikings, Morgan and Santonio Holmes would both figure to see sharp upticks in their offensive snap counts. While serving as the No. 3 or 4 receiver for the Bears in eight games, Morgan has been targeted just 10 times, but a potential appointment to a starting role would likely result in more involvement.

Morgan wasn't targeted in Sunday's 51-23 loss to the Patriots.
Aside from a three-yard touchdown against the Falcons in Week 6, Morgan has been off quarterback Jay Cutler's radar entirely for three of the last four weeks. There's simply no room in the Chicago offense for the No. 3 receiver to get many (or any) looks now that Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery are healthy.

Morgan reeled in his lone target for a three-yard touchdown reception in Sunday's win over the Falcons.
Though Morgan came away with his strongest fantasy performance of the season by virtue of reaching the end zone, quarterback Jay Cutler's division of the targets suggests he's unlikely to emerge as a vital cog of the offense even as the Bears' nominal No. 3 receiver. The big four of Matt Forte (13 targets Sunday), Brandon Marshall (nine), Alshon Jeffery (seven) and Martellus Bennett (eight) should continue to dwarf Morgan in usage so long as they stay healthy.

Morgan caught three passes (four targets) for 24 yards in Sunday's loss to the Packers.
After almost entirely disappearing from the game plan a week earlier against the Jets, Morgan inexplicably saw action Sunday ahead of Santonio Holmes, who appeared to have firmly established himself as the team's No. 3 receiver. Morgan very nearly added a touchdown to his ledger in the first quarter, but he was ruled out at the one-yard line after failing to extend the ball over the goal line, forcing the Bears to settle for a field goal. The lone target Morgan failed to corral on the afternoon was especially costly in the 38-17 defeat, as a poorly-run route created a window for the Packers' Tramon Williams to deflect a pass to teammate Clay Matthews for a momentum-turning interception. Given the mix of good and bad in his performance Sunday, it's difficult to say with any certainly at this time if Morgan will enter next week's matchup against the Falcons as the team's third wideout.

Morgan didn't see a single target in Monday's win over the Jets.
After missing the previous week with a groin injury, Morgan returned to the field but was a nonfactor. Quarterback Jay Cutler targeted Santonio Holmes three times in the victory, suggesting that he's the team's clear No. 3 option at receiver at the moment. However, with Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery already battling injuries this season, it might not be long before Morgan assumes a larger role offensively.

Morgan (groin) is active for Monday's game versus the Jets at New York.
Morgan didn't receive a target in Week 2 and only has three to his name this season, making him a less-than-desirable wide receiver option. Moreover, Brandon Marshall (ankle) and Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) have cast aside their respective injuries to take the field again, which all but wipes out Morgan's relevance.

Morgan (groin) is probable for Monday's game against the Jets, ESPN.com reports.
Fellow wideouts Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall are both listed as questionable this week, but generally expected to play, which limits Morgan's fantasy utility in Week 3, assuming he suits up Monday.
