Kevin Peterson
CB -
Week 16 Outlook
Availability
The Bears attempted to upgrade their cornerback unit with K'Waun Williams on Tuesday. But after being claimed, he failed his physical on Wednesday. The player who was cut to make room for him, Kevin Peterson, tells me that he is back with the team.
Fantasy Impact
With the Bears' top three cornerbacks Tracy Porter, Kyle Fuller and Bryce Callahan all injured that leaves Jacoby Glenn, Demontre Hurst, Deiondre' Hall, De'Vante Bausby, Taveze Calhoun, Sherrick McManis and Peterson as the only healthy corners right now. Don't rule out Peterson's chances yet even as an undrafted rookie.
Just a week after the 2016 NFL Draft, Oklahoma State CB Kevin Peterson said the Chicago Bears were getting a whole new animal in terms of his game. He went undrafted despite being projected many to be picked at some point on Day 3 of the draft process.
Fantasy Impact
With an opportunity to make the roster on a thin cornerback spot for the Bears, Peterson has a chance to make an impact. Kyle Fuller and Tracy Porter project as the starters while rookie Deiondre' Hall, slot corner Bryce Callahan and veteran special teamer Sherrick McManis round out the depth. Peterson will compete for snaps at slot corner and with OTA's starting Tuesday at Halas Hall, he's a guy to monitor.
