5. Getting D-Wall involved
Darren Waller is at the point of being so good that he's had a somewhat quiet three-game stretch – and he's still leading the team in catches.
Don't get me wrong, Carr getting the rest of his offense involved is the best thing for the offense as a whole. However, it will be interesting to see if Waller will have one of his traditional dominating performances against the Bears. Since going for 10 catches and 105 yards in Week 1 against the Ravens, he's cooled off a bit in production. The past three games he's had less than 65 receiving yards and has dropped down to four or five catches a game. Even with the dipped production, he's leading the league among tight ends in catches and second in receiving yards.
"We know that Darren is obviously a premier tight end in this league and we'll continue to find ways to get him involved," said offensive coordinator Greg Olson. "But if they want to try and take him away, we really feel good about the other guys we're going to."
It will be interesting to see if Carr can connect with his star tight end early and often against a very formidable Bears defense. The Bears have held the opposing starting tight ends they've faced this season to an average of 3.25 catches and 33.25 receiving yards.
