Location: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI
Network: FOX
Chicago Bears
Quarterback
Caleb Williams: SIT, QB2 (Startable in Superflex)
The Bears may be in first place, but it’s not because of the passing game. Caleb Williams is completing just 58% of his passes and has one or fewer touchdown passes in 75% of his starts since the Bears’ Week 5 bye. I was high on Williams coming into the season, and we’ve seen some flashes of what made him the No. 1 overall pick in 2024. But against a Packers defense that’s given up just five passing touchdowns since Week 9, he’s only an option in Superflex leagues.
Running Back
Kyle Monangai: FLEX, RB3
D’Andre Swift: FLEX, RB3
D’Andre Swift had slightly more snaps, but Kyle Monangai had four more carries and 5 more yards as both Bears backs rushed for over 100 yards and a touchdown in an upset win in Philly on Black Friday. Each averaged over 5 yards per carry. Since Week 11, Swift has just one more carry and only 29 more rushing yards, but Monangai has the 60-40 edge inside the 5 and three rushing touchdowns to Swift’s one. The Bears face the Packers twice and the Browns once over their next three games, with both being a bottom-10 fantasy matchup for running backs. Swift is ever so slightly the 1A in this backfield, but both are startable despite the upcoming schedule. Given the shared workload and a bottom-10 matchup against Green Bay, I’d consider both high-upside flex plays.
Wide Receiver
Rome Odunze: START, WR3
DJ Moore: FLEX, WR4
Luther Burden III: SIT
Rome Odunze and Emeka Egbuka have had similar seasons, starting en fuego but falling off a fantasy cliff harder than Homer Simpson trying to jump the Springfield Gorge.
All three of Odunze, DJ Moore, and Luther Burden III have sky-high upside that’s been grounded by Williams’ struggles. Until the passing game makes some serious strides, Odunze is just a WR3, Moore a flex, and Burden an upside stash.
Tight End
Colston Loveland: START, borderline TE1
Cole Kmet: SIT
Colston Loveland has just one game over 10 fantasy points since his “breakout” in Week 9, but his arrow is certainly pointing up. The rookie tight end is tied with the Bears’ rookie receiver for the second-highest target share in Chicago over the last four games. Loveland leads the team with 2.02 yards per route run and is behind only Odunze and Moore in red-zone targets over that span. Oddly enough, it was Cole Kmet who led the team in receiving yards and caught the lone receiving touchdown against the Eagles. Kmet’s presence is the only thing holding back Loveland from a full-on late-season breakout.
Defense/Special Teams
Chicago Bears: SIT
Only the New York Giants allow more points per game on the road than the Bears.
Green Bay Packers
Quarterback
Jordan Love: START, QB1
The Lions were the ones wearing throwbacks, but it was Jordan Love who had the throwback performance on Thanksgiving. Love threw four touchdown passes for the first time since Week 6 in an immensely impactful division win over the Lions. Love threw four TDs but completed just 18 passes, third game in last four 60% completion percentage or under. Coming into the game with two passing TDs in the previous four, he’s a borderline QB1 you can feel comfortable starting in the right matchups. Chicago is one of those matchups, allowing the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks and the team that’s allowed 50% of J.J. McCarthy‘s career touchdowns.
Running Back
Josh Jacobs: START, RB1
Emanuel Wilson: SIT
Chris Brooks: SIT
Josh Jacobs is your plug-and-play stud, but did you know that PGA Tour golfer Justin Thomas, famous for winning the PGA Championship, is also an alumnus of the University of Alabama? The Bears are one of four teams to allow 5+ yards per carry, and Jacobs has one of the highest workloads in the NFL. You can do the math here.
Wide Receiver
Christian Watson: START, WR3
Romeo Doubs: FLEX, WR4
Dontayvion Wicks: SIT
Three receivers caught a touchdown, unsurprisingly, one for Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs each. But it was Dontayvion Wicks who came down with two Turkey Day tuddys and scored a career-best 28 fantasy points, catching six of seven targets for 94 yards and the scores. Wicks had a season high of 44 yards in Week 2, no games in double digits, best game of career, third game over 20 fantasy points in his career. Watson saw a season high 10 targets, catching four passes, including a 51-yard bomb from Love, where he simply beat the Lions’ DB. Watson has six catches of over 20 yards in just six games and 22 over his last three. He’s emerged as easily the top fantasy option for the Packers, albeit a volatile one. Doubs scored a touchdown, but it was just the second game with over 10 points in his last six games. His early-season usage as the team’s WR1 is gone, and he’s merely a TD-dependent flex play. Matthew Golden missed the game with a wrist injury, but he is a non-factor in fantasy. But Jayden Reed is practicing, and a solid chance he returns in Week 14. Things will get a bit more crowded in the coming weeks when the two return. I’m still starting Watson when Reed returns, but he becomes even more volatile. Reed is a solid stash but not someone I’ll be throwing into lineups right away.
Tight End
John FitzPatrick: SIT
Made-up name or current Packers starting tight end?
The world may never know.
Defense/Special Teams
Green Bay Packers: SIT
The Packers are a much better real-life defense than fantasy. They’re holding opponents under 20 points per game, but have forced just 11 turnovers.
