Chicago Bears
DST - Chicago Bears
Availability
The Bears D/ST failed to force a turnover while recording just one sack in a 34-17 loss to the Lions in Week 16.
Fantasy Impact
The unit had no answer for a high-powered Detroit offense, allowing 475 offensive yards and four touchdowns in the loss. The defense will look to get back on track against an inconsistent Seattle Seahawks offense in Week 17 next Thursday night.
The Bears D/ST allowed 30 points while notching two sacks and forcing one turnover in a 30-12 loss to the Vikings in Week 15.
Fantasy Impact
Chicago's defense struggled against Minnesota while allowing their opponent to score at least 30 points for the second straight game. The Bears got sacks from T.J. Edwards and Chris Williams while Tyrique Stevenson added an interception. Things won't get much easier for Chicago's D/ST as they take on an explosive Detroit offense in Week 16.
The Bears D/ST forced one turnover (one interception) while also recording one sack in a 38-13 loss to the 49ers in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact
The unit had no answer for an injury-ravaged San Francisco offense, allowing 452 offensive yards and five touchdowns in a losing effort. Fantasy managers will need to look for alternatives, with a Week 15 clash against the high-powered Vikings offense ahead.
The Chicago Bears have fired head coach Matt Eberflus.
Fantasy Impact
The last straw for Eberflus was the ending to Thursday's loss against the Lions. It was expected to only be a matter of time until Eberflus was fired. It was a matter of if they would wait till the end of the season. The Bears will be in the market for another coach this offseason to pair with Caleb Williams.
The Bears D/ST forced one turnover (one fumble recovery) while also recording two sacks in a 23-20 loss to the Lions in Week 13.
Fantasy Impact
The unit was unable to slow down a physical Detroit ground attack, allowing 194 yards on the ground in a losing effort. Fantasy managers will need to seek alternate options ahead of a Week 14 contest against the San Francisco 49ers.
