Players to watch versus 49ers

Offense: Tight end Zach Miller
Unheralded tight end Zach Miller has become a go-to target for quarterback Jay Cutler in recent weeks, catching four of the six touchdown passes Cutler has thrown in the Bears' last four games. Even with Martellus Bennett expected to return Sunday after missing the Thanksgiving night win over the Packers with a rib injury, Miller likely will still get opportunities in the passing game given that the Bears like to frequently employ two-tight end formations.

Miller has been one of the Bears' most pleasant surprises this year; he has caught 15 passes for 222 yards and leads the team with four touchdown receptions after sitting out the last three full seasons due to injuries.
