Chicago Bears

Matt Forte (Running Back): Kansas City has a pretty stiff run defense so Forte should have some trouble finding holes. Forte went off against a porous Oakland defense but this should be Kansas Cities get well game, expect a reasonable drop off in Forte's production.

Alshon Jeffery (Wide Receiver): Jeffery has been limited in practice however he has a good chance to play finally as he looks to take advantage of the Chiefs soft secondary. This secondary can take the ball away but can seriously struggle in coverage. Jeffery if healthy would make a solid WR2 this week.

Martellus Bennett (Tight End): If Jeffery is back Bennett's role should be downsized a bit. Bennett went off last week against the Raiders so expect a more middle of the road (8-12 points) performance from him this week.

Kansas City Chiefs

Jamaal Charles (Running Back): Charles has been the main offensive weapon for the Chiefs all season long. Charles has easily been the most productive first round running back all season and has a great matchup against the Bears. Kansas City should find a ton of rushing lanes this week as Charles will get a ton of carries.

Jeremy Maclin (Wide Receiver): Maclin's role has expanded in these last two NFL games now he is a legit target for Alex Smith. Smith trusts him more than any wide receiver and recently even more than Travis Kelce. Look for this trend to continue against a horrific Bears secondary.

Travis Kelce (Tight End): Kelce has been getting robbed of targets by Jeremy Maclin on a daily basis. Maclin has become the primary target in this Chiefs offense. Kelce should have a good matchup against a weak Bears defense but keep in mind Chicago has given up the 6th fewest fantasy points to tight ends all season long.
