Fantasy Football: 10 Veterans Who Benefited From the NFL Draft
DeVante Parker appears set for a high-volume role in Miami. Which other veterans were positively impacted by their teams' 2018 drafts?

Mitchell Trubisky, QB, Chicago Bears

Second-year quarterback Mitchell Trubisky benefited in basically every possible way this offseason. As an Andy Reid disciple, New Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy brings an exciting new offensive style with him from Kansas City. Nagy was part of a 2017 offense that gave us some fantasy studs, and now he's working with Trubisky in the Windy City.

Weapons! Oh boy, did Chicago add weapons this offseason. Tight end Trey Burton, who had been overshadowed by Zach Ertz in Philadelphia, finally gets a featured role as a team's primary tight end. Additionally, the Bears signed Allen Robinson, who is quite possibly the best wide receiver in this year's free agency class. Coming off a season-ending knee injury, Robinson figures to be Trubisky's primary target.

The Bears did lose out on wide receiver Cameron Meredith, which seemed to put a damper on the team's receiving outlook. That is, until they drafted wideout Anthony Miller in the second round.

Chicago also added the speedy Taylor Gabriel and post-hype sleeper Kevin White is still hanging around.

All in all, this makes for an enticing outlook for Trubisky in 2018, and he could be one of the better late-round quarterback targets.
