QB: Mitch Trubisky

RBs: David Montgomery, Tarik Cohen

WRs: Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller, Cordarrelle Patterson

TEs: Jimmy Graham, Ben Braunecker

The Bears most eyebrow-raising move this offseason was trading for Nick Foles. We’ve seen Foles as a starting quarterback for the Eagles and Jaguars over the last couple of years. Trubisky hasn’t been the most reliable quarterback, so it will be interesting to see who enters week 1 as the starter and how it impacts the other players on the team.

Speaking of, Montgomery had a quietly good rookie season. On 242 attempts, he had 889 yards and six touchdowns. He also had 25 catches but the passing downs were mostly held for Cohen, who caught 79 passes for 456 yards. Both running backs have value for different reasons.

Robinson will get his share of targets, regardless of who the quarterback is. From a fantasy production standpoint, I don’t think any other receiver. Maybe if the matchup is nice, they’ll make for a nice DFS play but that’s about it.

Graham stays in the NFC North for this season. He hasn’t been the same Jimmy Graham over the last couple of years. I don’t think he gets back there on the Bears.

As far as my sleeper goes, I think Cohen fits the bill. He’ll have some rushing attempts but will be a good flex play in PPR leagues. With not the best receiving corps, Trubisky or Foles will rely on him out of the backfield.
