Taylor Gabriel 2019 Outlook
When the Bears signed Gabriel to a four-year, $26 million deal in March of 2018, he, along with former Jaguar Allen Robinson, were tasked with turning around the dismal Chicago wide receiving corps from 2017 that featured players such as Kendall Wright, Dontrelle Inman, Markus Wheaton and Tre McBride. As USA Today suggested, Gabriel did his part, catching 67 passes for 688 yards, both good enough for second-highest on the team, along with two touchdowns. His 72 percent catch rate was the highest among Bears wide receivers with at least 10 receptions, and he was a key factor in helping lead the Bears to a 12-4 record. This season Gabriel figures to once again play a role in Matt Nagy's offense, the question is whether it will be as prominent a role. As CBSSports.com notes, used as both a deep-ball threat and a catch-and-go target, Gabriel's catch and yardage totals were career highs, but he still only found the end zone twice. He also disappointed with a 10.3 yards-per-catch average, seemingly negating the upside his speed suggests. Chicago also added receivers this offseason, including Riley Ridley in April's draft, to a mix that includes promising second-year man Anthony Miller. They could all become limiting factors for Gabriel.

Taylor Gabriel 2018 Outlook
Allen Robinson's arrival gives the Bears a true No. 1 receiver -- "He's a guy that presents a lot of problems to defensive backs," new HC Matt Nagy said -- but Gabriel's abilities will change the offense in Nagy's "Zebra" role. "[The “Zebra” is] that third receiver who can go inside and run different," Nagy said. "We'll move you around. Sometimes we'll get you on the ball, off the ball. We'll put you in motion. But that third guy normally plays in the slot." As Chicago Sun Times staffer Adam Jahns noted, in this case, Gabriel's speed -- ESPN rated him as the ninth-fastest player in the NFL in 2017 -- can lead to mismatches. It opens up the field. "When you have a guy that can take the top off the defense with the safeties, again stretching the field vertically, you need that," Nagy said. "We have that." And don't rule out running back Tarik Cohen as another option in the slot. Asked about it, Nagy played coy, smiling and saying "sure" twice. "Offensively, to have a bunch of different guys that can do different things is important," Nagy added.

Taylor Gabriel 2017 Outlook
The Falcons re-signed Gabriel, a restricted free agent, without much hesitation. Gabriel certainly showed his value this past season after being claimed off waivers from the Cleveland Browns at a price of $600,000. The former undrafted player from Abilene Christian, who completed his third NFL season, tied Julio Jones for the team lead with six touchdown receptions. The 5-8, 167-pound speedster averaged 42.7 yards on his touchdown receptions, which was the second-highest among receivers with five or more touchdown catches behind New Orleans' Brandin Cooks (44.1). Gabriel finished the regular season with 35 catches for 579 yards, then had nine catches for 171 yards in the playoffs. He also had four rushes for 51 yards and one touchdown during the regular season. While the departure of Kyle Shanahan (and subsequent hiring of Steve Sarkisian to replace him) is a concern for the entire offense, expect the Falcons to maintain as much continuity as possible after their record-setting offensive output last year. That should mean Gabriel's role will be similar enough to retain his viability for fantasy owners.
