Scott (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
The 2023 fourth-round pick secured the Bears' fourth receiver spot after catching six passes for 99 yards and returning two kickoffs for 49 yards in the team's final preseason game. That said, he remains behind DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze on the depth chart. Scott caught 17 passes for 168 yards and no scores as a rookie.

Bears' Tyler Scott: Stellar showing in preseason finale
Rotowire
Scott secured six of nine targets for 99 yards, rushed once for 17 yards and returned two kickoffs for 49 yards in the Bears' 34-21 preseason win over the Chiefs on Thursday night.
Scott took advantage of the expanded opportunity afforded by the fact the Bears' top three wideouts sat out, posting team-high reception, receiving yardage and target totals. The 2023 fourth-round pick still projects to open the season as no better than the No. 4 receiver behind DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze, but his game-breaking speed will still make him an intriguing deep-league asset, especially if he also gets opportunities to work as a returner as he did Thursday.

Bears' Tyler Scott: Likely reduction in playing time
Rotowire
With the addition of Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze to Chicago's wide receiver room, Scott is likely to begin the season as the No. 4 receiver.
Although Scott posted just 168 yards on 17 catches as a rookie, he was on the field for at least 37 snaps in six games beginning in Week 6. After being used often in three receiver sets, it's unlikely that Scott will be used in that role often with DJ Moore, Allen and Odunze on the roster.

Bears' Tyler Scott: Catches lone target
Rotowire
Scott caught a 15-yard pass in the Bears' 28-13 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Although Scott has caught passes in eight different games, he's yet to post 20 yards in a game. Unless his role increases, his low-scoring floor makes him tough to trust in fantasy lineups.

Bears' Tyler Scott: Quiet in losing effort
Rotowire
Scott caught a four-yard pass in the Bears' 31-26 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Despite playing more than half the snaps since Week 6, Scott has yet to post 20 yards in any game. Unless he sees an increase in his passing-game usage, he'll remain a low-floor fantasy option.

Bears' Tyler Scott: Performs well in limited chances
Rotowire
Scott rushed once for 16 yards and caught a 15-yard pass in the Bears' 16-13 win over the Panthers on Thursday.
Scott had played 58 percent of the snaps over his previous four games, but with Equanimeous St. Brown back from injured reserve, Scott saw his snap share fall to 39 percent. The lessened playing time resulted in him being targeted only once, which was down from the three targets per game he was seeing since Week 6. If St. Brown is going to continue playing significant snaps, it will likely be at Scott's expense.

Bears' Tyler Scott: Best game of season
Rotowire
Scott caught two passes for 19 yards in the Bears' 30-12 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
After being targeted five times over Chicago's first five games, Scott has seen four targets in each of his last two games. The recent bump in production along with an increased snap share since Week 5 are promising, but until Scott can post higher yardage totals, he's not yet a consistent fantasy option.

Bears' Tyler Scott: Four targets in defeat
Rotowire
Scott caught two passes for 12 yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Sunday.
Scott also had two receptions in the season opener, but his two receptions in this game brought him up to five grabs on the year. However, his four targets were one fewer than he had in the previous five games. With Equanimeous St. Brown (hamstring) set to miss at least three more games, it's possible that Scott could continue to see regular targets.

Bears' Tyler Scott: Sees usage as runner
Rotowire
Scott handled two rushes for 19 yards in the Bears' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Despite Justin Fields attempting 35 passes, Scott didn't see a target as a receiver, but he did see work as a runner. With 39 scrimmage yards on the season, Scott will need to see an increase in usage before he can be considered a reliable fantasy option.

Bears' Tyler Scott: Targeted three times in loss
Rotowire
Scott caught one pass for six yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Scott has three catches for 20 yards on the season, and unless his role in the offense increases, he'll be tough to trust in fantasy lineups.

Bears' Tyler Scott: Pair of grabs in debut
Rotowire
Scott caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Packers.
Scott caught both of his targets, though neither gained more than nine yards. Although he tied DJ Moore and Chase Claypool for second among Chicago wide receivers in targets, there were five teammates who saw more passes than the rookie. Look for Scott to battle with Claypool for snaps in three-receiver sets going forward.

Bears' Tyler Scott: Impressing early in training camp
Rotowire
Scott has stood out as a fast learner early in training camp, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
The 2023 fourth-round pick out of Cincinnati has quickly grasped the playbook. Scott has also shown off his speed on the field, tracking down numerous deep passes in practice while also seeing usage as a return man on special teams. There may not be many pass-catching opportunities for the wide receiver in a run-heavy Chicago offense that added wide receiver DJ Moore in the offseason, but Scott's still putting himself in position to contribute right away.
