Lions tight end Joseph Fauria has taken a step back as of late and could be a risky option for Week 10 against the Bears in Chicago.

Fauria was held without a target in his previous meeting against the Bears in Week 4. Two games later, he earned the start and caught three passes for 34 yards and three touchdowns against Cleveland in Week 6. Since that game, he has only had one catch for 15 yards on four targets.

Opposing tight ends have cracked the century mark in two of the last four games against the Bears. That said, Fauria's value only comes in the red zone, as he's never had more than 34 yards in a game this season. The Bears have only allowed two touchdowns all season to tight ends. Consider him a risky bye week replacement option for Week 10.
