Excitement is at an all-time high with the Chicago Bears hosting the big, bad Green Bay Packers at home to kick off the season in just under a week.
Along with the 2023 NFL season getting underway, there’s another wildly popular football phenomenon that’s about to begin: Fantasy football. I
t’s that joyous time of year where people try to figure out who’s participating in their league, eventually agreeing on a time and date to do the annual draft only for it to be pushed right up against the start of the NFL season because people had things to do on the previous date, all culminating in a two-and-a-half-hour draft that everyone takes way too seriously or does not take seriously at all.
It’s glorious.
As objective as a fantasy player attempts to be, there’s always a little part of them that wants to take their favorite guys from their favorite team. The problem is, they pick their favorite player without thinking of the pros and cons, their floor and ceiling and whether they’re getting their guy at a good value.
I will be using the half-PPR format to evaluate each player, since the majority of leagues use it, and use the following fantasy lineup: 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 2 receivers, 1 tight end, 1 flex (running back/receiver/tight end), 1 kicker and 1 defense/special teams.
Now that the rules are explained, let’s break things down with the 2023 Bears in fantasy football.
