Dexter recorded a sack and a tackle in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. The defensive tackle now has a sack in each of Chicago's two games. Dexter also has five tackles over two games. As an interior lineman, the tackle numbers may not be high on a weekly basis, so Dexter's ability to rush the passer could be his best path to IDP success.

Latest Bears News
Gervon Dexter : Another sack in defeat
Dexter recorded a sack and a tackle in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. The defensive tackle now has a sack in each of Chicago's two games. Dexter also has five tackles over two games. As an interior lineman, the tackle numbers may not be high on a weekly basis, so Dexter's ability to rush the passer could be his best path to IDP success.
Jack Sanborn : Notches sack
Sanborn posted two tackles and a sack in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. With the Bears often playing with two linebackers on the field, Sanborn is often the odd-man out. In this game, he played just 18 percent of the snaps, and Sanborn now has just two tackles on the season. The lack of playing time makes him difficult to count on in IDP leagues.
Kevin Byard : Big game in defeat
Byard tallied 11 stops in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. Byard tied Tremaine Edmunds with the most tackles for the Bears against Houston. Over the last four seasons, Byard has posted at least 100 tackles, and this performance puts the safety on pace for that level of production after he recorded just two tackles in the season opener.
Tremaine Edmunds : Big tackle numbers
Edmunds recorded 11 tackles and a sack in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. After an uncharacteristically low tackle total of four in Week 1, Edmunds came roaring back against the Texans. In 2023, the linebacker posted 113 tackles in 15 games, and the 11 tackles Edmunds tallied this week put him back on track as a strong weekly IDP option.
Cairo Santos : Seven points in defeat
Santos converted both of his extra-point attempts in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. Santos continues to be one of the most accurate kickers in the league since joining the Bears in 2020. Not only has he been perfect to start the season, but he's averaging 8.5 points over two games. Playing on an offense that has been breaking down in field-goal range, Santos may continue to be a solid weekly fantasy option.
Gerald Everett : Three targets in loss
Everett caught two passes for one yard in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. After playing more snaps than teammate Cole Kmet in Week 1, Everett was scaled back to a 36 percent snap share in Week 2. On the season, Everett has three catches for zero yards. Everett's lack of yardage per catch makes him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.
DeAndre Carter : Four targets in defeat
Carter caught three passes for 32 yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. Carter was been the replacement for Keenan Allen when the veteran missed snaps in Week 1 and in this game against the Texans when Allen was inactive. It's unlikely that Carter will see regular targets when Chicago's top-three receivers are healthy. However, when called upon to play significant snaps, Carter may be a useful possession receiver.
Travis Homer : Minimal usage in loss
Homer had a six-yard rush in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. Homer has played between 20 and 29 percent of the snaps in Chicago's first two games, though he has a total of three touches to start the season. The veteran will need to have more opportunities with the football to raise his fantasy value.
