Chicago Bears right tackle

Darnell Wright: 126 snaps

Primary matchups: Lukas Van Ness, Kinglsey Enagbare, Rashan Gary, Shaq Barrett, Yaya Diaby

The Chicago Bears' right tackle may be the bright spot on the line. Granted, he did struggle in the few snaps at that he was lined up against Rashan Gary. Still, almost all of the pressure generated from the right side has been because Justin Fields either holds the ball too long, drops in the pocket too deep, or steps into the pressure himself. For the most part, Darnell Wright has done his job.

To be fair, his competition has not been elite, either. Both Gary and Barrett are coming back from season-ending injuries and both are being eased back into the mix at this part of the season. Van Ness and Diaby are rookies, and Enagbare is unproven. Still, he was great for almost the entire game against Barrett, and he shut down Enagbare for all intents and purposes.

Considering these are the first two games of his career, we do not have to qualify any of his wins and put any asterisks beside them. He handled his own regardless of competition, and through two weeks he has been the best offensive lineman on the Chicago Bears.
