Jahdae Walker earned a spot on the Chicago Bears’ 53-man roster after a standout preseason, then returned to his roots by visiting Grand Valley State University to watch his old team. The Bears’ rookie journey is highlighted by a route from GVSU to Texas A&M and an undrafted-to-roster arc, underscored by strong camp moments.
Walker’s path, his size (6’3), and the Bears’ depth at wideout shape his fantasy upside as a late-flight flare option or special-teams contributor, contingent on health and opportunity. The piece emphasizes the enduring value of college relationships and the long arc from a Division II program to the NFL as teams weigh development and depth chart dynamics.
Fantasy takeaway: monitor Bears’ WR health and practice squad movements; Walker could emerge in deeper leagues if injuries or role changes open targets beyond the top three.
