Fantasy Impact:
The Bears have heavily invested in their defensive unit after a 3-14 season that culminated in the worst record in the NFL. The Bears ranked last in the NFL in points allowed and in sacks forced. According to Pro Football Reference, Ngakoue has 63 pressures over the last two seasons and his 19.5 sacks rank in the top 15 in the league over that same span. Though he hasn't graded out well with PFF in recent seasons, with sub-70 pass-rushing grades over the last two years, the Bears lack dominant, proven pass rushers, and Ngakoue can be a veteran presence in Chicago.
