Bills vs. Bears NFL Preseason DFS Picks

Buffalo Bills Targets

Justin Shorter (WR – BUF)

Justin Shorter saw six targets in his last game for the Bills. He hauled in five receptions for 47 yards and also scored a touchdown. Shorter didn’t play in Week 1, but he’s quickly rising the wide receiver board for the Bills. The quarterbacks are throwing the ball his way with confidence.

Chicago Bears Targets

Justin Fields (QB – CHI)

The Bears elected to wait for the preseason finale to debut Justin Fields. The Bears gave Fields and the first offense 30 snaps last year. If Fields gets 30 snaps in this game, he’ll finish strongly heading into the regular season. Fields has been gaining much traction in MVP voting and is becoming a quality fantasy quarterback due to his running ability.

Robert Burns (RB – CHI)

We can’t expect the Bears’ starters to play forever. Robert Burns led the Bears in carries and yards last weekend. He averaged nearly five yards per carry and hauled in three receptions for 15 yards. He was thrown to five times, which was second-most on the team. He’ll be a significant impact late in this game.
