Chicago Bears: WR Marty Booker has caught 197 passes over the last two year, but so far he's been a forgotten man in the Bears' offense. Booker has a grand total of eight catches for 58 yards, which puts him on pace for 64 catches.

"I don't have anything to do with calling the plays or where [Stewart] gets the reads or where he wants to go, I have nothing to do with that," Booker told the Chicago Tribune. "There's nothing different. It's not like I'm seeing a lot of double teams or anything. I don't know. I'm still trying to figure that out too." In Stewart's defense, he's been spreading the ball around. Of the Bears 57 pass attempts, 14 of those have been directed toward Booker. Sixteen have been intended for WR Dez White, 10 for new TE Desmond Clark and eight for WR David Terrell. Also a factor is that the Bears' offense lack of field time.
