One of the teams in the Sunday Night Football battle between NFC North clubs is decidedly better than the other. Predictably, that’s reflected in a 12.5-point spread, favoring the host Packers. As a result, I suggest gravitating toward Green Bay’s players for the bulk of your roster on this single-game slate. However, the Bears offer a few nifty options to complement the Packers studs.

Bears Analysis: The two players that are projected to score the most points on the Bears are Justin Fields and David Montgomery. Nevertheless, I'm not crazy about using either. Fields returns from cracked ribs. So, his effectiveness is a legitimate question. Further, according to Pro-Football-Reference, he has had the highest sack rate (13.5%) among qualified quarterbacks, markedly clear of the second-highest rate of only 9.3%. In addition, according to Pro Football Focus, out of 32 quarterbacks that have dropped back at least 200 times this season, Fields' 3.9% turnover-worthy-play percentage is the sixth-highest mark. Obviously, he can still have fantasy value taking sacks and turning the ball over, using his rushing ability to pile up yards on the ground. Still, I'm disinterested in dedicating his sizable salary to the cap en lieu of the top-dollar options on the Packers.
