It is officially the biggest weekend for fantasy football. Most fantasy drafts take place between now and the start of the NFL season. if you are like me, you probably enjoy drafting at least one player on the Chicago Bears. Well, don't worry, we have you covered.
I have been playing fantasy football for over two decades. The game has changed immensely since I played in my first league. We have seen rosters change from a few standard lineups to massive lineups that even include individual defensive players (IDP). Note, that I am not going to give you any IDP advice in this article. I have experience in it and honestly prefer it to more standard leagues, but they are not as common, and it's not worth it to dive that deep right now. Instead, we will look at all of the notable players on offense, when to select the Bears' defense, and even when to take Cairo Santos.
When is a good time to draft notable Chicago Bears in fantasy football?
This advice will be based on a 12-team league and must be adjusted if you are playing a league filled with Chicago Bears fans. This will not be based on a 2QB or Super-Flex leagues, however, I'll make a note about that when discussing Caleb Williams. I will also note how many rounds up or down you can consider if in smaller or larger leagues too. This isn't an exact science as every fantasy football draft is different, but it should give you a good idea of when each player should be targeted if you want him at a good value.
To get us started, let's look at the wide receivers.
