Rob Housler

The Bears let go of both Tony Moeaki and Rob Housler, two veteran TE's in final cuts this weekend.

Fantasy Impact

Housler latched on with the Bears late last season, but much like Moeaki the two are pass catchers first. The Bears want to have physical tight ends behind Zach Miller.

Bears TE Rob Housler drew the start in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs with Zach Miller (concussion) healing up.

Fantasy Impact

Housler had a catch for 17 yards leading all Bears TE's on the rough afternoon. Tony Moeaki had the other catch by a TE, a six-yarder. Housler seems like a sure thing for the 53-man roster after a nice preseason thus far.

Rob Housler may have only had one catch on Thursday night, but it was a big one.

Fantasy Impact

The 2nd-year Bears TE took a short Brian Hoyer pass 52 yards down the middle of the field and nearly took it to the house against New England. Housler is fighting for a roster spot in a thin TE group. His main competition Tony Moeaki suffered a hamstring injury against the Patriots. Keep an eye on Housler for emergency purposes.

With Zach Miller (toe) inactive and Martellus Bennett already on IR, the Bears turned to veteran TE Rob Housler in Week 17. Housler caught both of his targets for 18 yards in the loss to Detroit on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Housler, a 27-year-old journeyman is likely good as gone this off-season as he was simply just a depth signing a couple weeks ago. The Bears can do better with depth either young or more athletic this off-season. Housler should latch on somewhere else as a No. 3 TE.

Browns placed TE Rob Housler on injured reserve with a hamstring injury, ending his season.

Fantasy Impact

Houser was signed to a one-year, $1.76 million contract in the offseason. He didn't do anything in camp or preseason and was a weekly non-factor the first half of the season, catching one ball for six yards.
