Chicago Bears

The Bears D/ST stood tall in Week 4, forcing two turnovers (one interception, one fumble recovery) while also racking up three sacks in a 24-18 win over the Rams.

The unit continues to bail out a Chicago offense yet to find its footing through four weeks, registering five interceptions and 10 sacks to this point. Fantasy managers should plug the opportunistic defense into lineups for a favorable Week 5 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.

The Bears' D/ST logged three sacks and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Houston Texans.

Chicago's defense actually played pretty well on Sunday, all things considered. They held the Texans to 19 points on the night despite the offense turning the ball over several times, and they were able to record a fumble recovery in the red zone. This unit is pretty good but should only be started in plus matchups for the remainder of the season.

The Chicago Bears D/ST recorded a standout, week-winning performance in Week 1 versus the Tennessee Titans, highlighted by a pair of touchdowns and four forced turnovers.

Fantasy Impact

The Bears' defense may have won fantasy weeks, but by stymying Tennessee's offense in the second half, they won the organization's Week 1 matchup almost single-handedly, with the offense failing to record an opening-game touchdown. This could be a strong unit in 2024, though dates with HOU, IND, and LAR cloud the short-term outlook.

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus announced that the team will not be playing its starters in the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

The Bears face off against the Houston Texans in the Hall of Fame Game, but the team's starters, including most key offseason acquisitions, will not play. This is standard, and they may get a few drives in the following weeks, but Bears fans will have to wait to see their first snaps with QB Caleb Williams, WRs Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen and RB D'Andre Swift.

The Chicago Bears are reportedly "open for business" with the No. 9 pick and telling teams they are ready to move for the right price

Fantasy Impact

There have been rumors of the Bears looking to draft a wide receiver at No. 9 to pair with Caleb Williams. With them already having DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, they could look to trade down if the right offer is sent their way. There are reportedly a number of teams looking to trade up in the top half of round one on Thursday.
