Chicago Bears 6-5 at Minnesota Vikings 2-8-1
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Matt Forte
#1 Ranked RB
This is a juicy match-up against a rival team, but today we found out that Forte didn’t practice due to “slightly” hyper extending his knee. That doesn’t sound great, so we’ll probably drop him in our rankings. Keep an eye out for the injury reports come Sunday, but he’s a “Must Start” if he’s on the field.
Brandon Marshall
#2 Ranked WR
Stud. Muffin. Last week he caught 10 passes for 117 yards and one TD. That kind of play will propel you into the fantasy playoffs. Enjoy.
Alshon Jeffery
#9 Ranked WR
We might be a little high on him, but Jeffery continues to produce. The Vikings give up the 10th most fantasy points to opposing WRs, so look for a nice game. And if you play in a PPR league, since Week 7 Jeffery caught 4 or more passes in each of his games. Nice.
Martellus Bennett
#9 Ranked TE
Last week Bennett reemerged. Hopefully this means he’s feeling better. In St Louis he caught four passes for 62 yards and one TD and now he’ll play a defense that gives up the 5th most fantasy points to opposing TEs. Looking good…
Gut Calls
Josh McCown
#16 Ranked QB
McCown threw is first INT of the season at St Louis last week. However, he was still a top 10 QB. He threw for 352 yards, two TDs and one INT. This week he goes up against the Vikings and they give up the 2nd most fantasy points to opposing QBs. With all the weaponry at his disposal, how could he go wrong?
Michael Bush
#63 Ranked RB
You don’t want to play Bush unless Forte is out. Please check the injury report on Sunday morning and pick Bush up to be safe if you are a Forte owner.
Bench Warmers
Chicago Defense
#11 Ranked DEF
It’s hard to trust a defense that scored -2.0 fantasy points at St Louis last week, even when they go up against the whacky Minnesota Vikings offense.
