Interestingly enough, Hester’s contract has a lot of performance bonuses built in if he can succeed at wide receiver. With even more incentive, Hester is now looking more and more like legit wide receiver prospect in fantasy football. We earlier listed Devin Hester as a wide receiver sleeper for 2008 fantasy football, and his sleeper status is even greater now.

Everything in Chicago points to Hester getting a lot of chances to become the team’s number one receiver. With that in mind, making Hester a late round pick in your 2008 fantasy football draft could turn out to be a steal.

Hester, who is Chicago’s return sensation, wants a new contract. Seeing as how Hester is in line to become the best return man in the history of the NFL, it is difficult to argue that he should be happy with his current deal of less than a million dollars per year.

Not only was Hester scheduled to be the Bears’ return man once again, he was going to be a weapon on offense. In fact, we named Devin Hester as a sleeper at wide receiver for 2008 fantasy football.

Look for the Bears to act quickly to get Hester into the fold. If this holdout lasts into the season, the Bears’ already limited ability to put points on the board will be hurt even further.

How long will Devin Hester’s holdout last?
