Santos is averaging just five points per game as the Chicago offense struggles to put points on the board. Unless the team can solve their offensive woes, Santos will remain a low-upside fantasy option.
After being a string IDP option in the latter part of 2022, Sanborn is now a situational player who's averaging less than four tackles per game. In his current role, he's a low upside IDP option.
After notching 12 tackles in Week 1, Edwards has increased his tackle total each week. With the Chicago offense struggling to slow down opposing offenses, Edwards and the defense are playing a lot of snaps. Assuming the team's defensive struggles continue, Edwards will be a elite weekly IDP.
After leaving last week's game with a bruised knee, Mooney was seventh on the team with one target. Unless his role increases and the Bears' passing attack improves, Mooney may not have the upside he showed earlier in his career.
Scott has three catches for 20 yards on the season, and unless his role in the offense increases, he'll be tough to trust in fantasy lineups.
Claypool was second on the team with four targets, but the Chicago offense was unable to move the ball until the Chiefs brought in their defensive backups late in the game. Although Claypool has seen increased snaps since Week 1, the anemic passing game may limit his potential to have consistent production.
In a game during which Justin Fields threw for just 99 yards, Kmet was second on the team with his 22 yards. Going into this game, the Bears passed for at least 200 yards in their previous two contests, so Kmet should return closer to the 41 yards he was averaging. However, the lack of scoring by the team's offense could limit Kmet's touchdown upside.
Johnson continued to split backfield work with Khalil Herbert (7-31-0) after usurping veteran D'Onta Foreman on the depth chart last week. The fourth-round rookie didn't finish with a gaudy stat line, but he was efficient when called upon (4.8 YPC). It is worth noting that he was the first back deployed Sunday, indicating his growing trust from a coaching staff looking for answers after an 0-3 start. It will be interesting to see if Johnson's role continues to increase as the season progresses. For now, he should continue to split work with Herbert against the Broncos next Sunday.
