Week 6 Outlook
Availability
Linebacker John Timu had a productive game on Thursday night. He finished with three tackles, all solo, and a sack.
Fantasy Impact
It is yet to be seen how the Bears plan to use Timu on a consistent basis, so when given the chance on Thursday night, he made sure to leave an impression.
Despite making three starts late last season, the Bears let go of John Timu on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Timu is a second-year ILB out of Washington. He went undrafted last season and did his best to hang around on the Bears' roster. He took poor angles in the preseason which cost him his roster spot. Timu still upside as a downhill hitter and should land on someone's practice squad.
2nd-year Bears' LB John Timu played well in a 23-22 loss to New England on Thursday night.
Fantasy Impact
The Washington product added six tackles and nearly had an interception. He's valuable depth on this team.
Bears linebacker John Timu made an appearance on Chicago Sports Land Radio last week and had this to say about the upcoming season, "I see the Bears heading to the top. We were a handful of players short from our record being the other way around. This year is a whole different story.â€
Fantasy Impact
Entering his second year with the Bears, Timu battled his way onto the roster after being an undrafted free agent out of Washington last season. He started the final three games of the year and proved he belonged at ILB. With Danny Trevathan and Jerrell Freeman coming in, Timu will be relegated to sub-package duties, but he is a top backup and core special teamer.
Linebacker John Timu led the Bears defense in tackles on Sunday, finishing with eight total tackles, all solo.
Fantasy Impact
Timu was a surprise standout player in the game on Sunday. However, this was the last season of the game, so who knows what the offseason holds. Regardless, Timu made the most of his opportunities on Sunday.
