Chicago Bears

Alshon Jeffery (Wide Receiver): Jeffery is questionable for this week 12 matchup which means he could end up only being used as a decoy against a defense that on average gives up the 11th fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. Only 3 wide receivers have only gone for 100 yards against the Packers and Jeffery does not seem to be healthy enough to be the 4th.

Matt Forte/Jeremy Langford (Running Back): With Matt Forte back in the lineup it appears Langford's carriers will decrease drastically. Either one of these guys are bad starts as they find themselves stuck in a bad matchup against a defense that has given up the 9th fewest fantasy points to running backs.

 

Green Bay Packers

Randall Cobb/Davante Adams/James Jones (Wide Receivers): Cobb has seen around 9012 targets in the last 4 games while Davante Adams has seen anywhere from 2-21. Cobb in his last meeting with the Bears found the end zone catching all 5 of his targets for 38 yards and a touchdown.  Adams in their last meeting with the Bears reeled in 4 out of 8 targets for 59 yards.  Adams is clearly the less dependable of the 2 especially since he just tweaked his ankle that kept him out for almost a month. Jones sees 2-11 targets a game so there is no real consistent fantasy threat here. In his first contest against the Bears Jones caught all 4 of his targets for 51 yards and 2 touchdowns. Cobb or Jones are the clear starts however they will go up against a defense that allows the 15th fewest fantasy points to wide receivers.

Aaron Rodgers (Quarterback): Rodgers often finds a way to go off against the Bears in some capacity. Rodgers has 13 touchdowns in the last 3 games against Chicago and 8 touchdowns in his last 3 games. The Bears allow the 13th fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. In Rodgers last game he had completed 18 of 29 passing attempts for 189 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Eddie Lacy/James Starks (Running backs): Lacy has regained his starting role as was seen in week 11 where Lacy looked fully healthy and refreshed. Lacy's 22 carries to Stark's 8 were a Stark contrast from what fantasy owners were used too. Lacy should continue to lead this backfield as long as he stays healthy. In their last meeting Lacy dropped 85 yards on 19 rushing attempts, and a touchdown against this Bears defense. The Bears have allowed the 12th fewest fantasy points to running backs this season.
