Secret behind Jayden Daniels' success, and what we learned in Sunday's Week 4 slate
FOX Sports' NFL experts break down what we learned from Sunday's NFL action and what it means for every team in the league.SEPTEMBER 30
T.J. Edwards - Strong performance in victory Edwards accounted for nine tackles in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact After posting 23 tackles in the Bears' first two games, Edwards recorded just two tackles last week. The linebacker got back on track this week with nine stops, and he should still be considered a high-floor IDP option with ceiling potential at linebacker.
SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Gervon Dexter Sr. - Nabs another sack Dexter tallied a sack and three tackles in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact Not only has Dexter recorded at least three sacks in all but one game this season, but the defensive tackle now has three sacks on the season. As an interior lineman, Dexter has been a very productive IDP.
SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Montez Sweat - Collects second sack of season Sweat recorded three tackles and a sack in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact Sweat is averaging two tackles per game, but he now has sacks in back-to-back contests. Sweat remains a sack-dependent IDP with a low ceiling in terms of tackles.
SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Jaquan Brisker - Huge performance in victory Brisker tallied 12 stops, an interception and a sack in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact After averaging eight tackles through three games, Brisker had his highest tackle total of the season while recording his first interception and sack of the campaign. With Brisker's worst game of 2024 being a six-tackle performance, he is a high-floor, high-upside IDP as a defensive back.
SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Cairo Santos - Tallies six points Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact Santos recovered from his first missed field goal of the season last week with a perfect performance against the Rams. The kicker is extremely accurate, but his fantasy value is directly tied to the weekly success of the Chicago offense, which is far from being a consistent unit.
SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Roschon Johnson - Finds end zone in victory Johnson rushed seven times for 26 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact After impressing in his first action of the year in Week 3, Johnson served as the clear No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift this week. With Swift having his best game of the season, Johnson may not push Swift for the lead role right now. However, Johnson may have done enough to retain change-of-pace duties with possible goal-line opportunities.
SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE
Rome Odunze - Limited to one catch Sunday Odunze secured one of three targets for 10 yards in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact The rookie shifted back to a No. 3 role with Keenan Allen returning from a two-game absence due to a heel injury, and he saw a major downturn in production as a result. Odunze's target and yardage totals were his lowest yet through four games, so he'll have plenty of room for improvement in a Week 5 home matchup against the Panthers.

R-E-L-A-X: Caleb Williams, Bears starting to put it all together
Patience has always been key with Chicago and its process. After Caleb Williams' best outing as a Bear, and a win over the Rams, the vision...SEPTEMBER 29
Keenan Allen - Three grabs in return Allen brought in all three targets for 19 yards in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact Making his return from a two-game absence due to a heel injury, Allen was a complementary piece of the passing attack on a day when Caleb Williams only threw for 157 yards and a touchdown. Despite the modest numbers Sunday, fantasy managers can take some solace in the fact DJ Moore and Rome Odunze, Allen's fellow wideouts, combined for just four catches and 32 receiving yards in their own right. Allen could have a larger role in a favorable Week 5 home matchup against the Panthers.
SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
Cole Kmet - Three catches in Week 4 win Kmet secured three of six targets for 34 yards in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact After a 10-catch outburst against the Colts in Week 3, Kmet saw his workload reduce considerably with the return of Keenan Allen from a two-game absence due to a heel injury. Kmet did finish tied for second in receptions and as the runner-up in receiving yards on the afternoon for Chicago, but his production Sunday is likely to be much closer to the norm than what he was able to do in the aforementioned loss to Indianapolis.

DJ Moore - First TD with Williams Moore secured three of six targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact Moore tied with Cole Kmet for second on the team in receptions and was the runner-up in targets as well. However, on what was otherwise a pedestrian afternoon, Moore had a hand in a notable moment when he secured a nine-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter from Caleb Williams, his first in conjunction with the rookie first overall pick. Moore's slight drop in production is likely an outlier given he's been heavily involved each week to date, and he'll have a chance for a bounce-back effort against a vulnerable Panthers secondary at home in Week 5.
SEPTEMBER 29 • ROTOWIRE
D'Andre Swift - Best game of season Sunday Swift rushed 16 times for 93 yards and a touchdown and brought in all seven targets for 72 yards in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact Mired in a forgettable three-game funk to open his Bears tenure, Swift consistently found more daylight right from the start of the game than he had during his first three contests. The versatile back eventually broke loose for his longest run of the season, a 36-yard touchdown scamper early in the fourth quarter. Swift added season highs in receptions and receiving yards for good measure, making it a fruitful afternoon by both real-life and fantasy football standards. With the lead-back role still clearly in his grasp, Swift next takes aim at the Panthers' defense in a Week 5 home matchup.

Williams and the Rams lament their missed opportunities in a loss to the Bears
Playing without their best two receivers, the Los Angeles Rams made four trips to the red zone at ChicagoSEPTEMBER 29 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Caleb Williams - Modest numbers in Week 4 win Williams completed 17 of 23 passes for 157 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions and rushed five times for 12 yards in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday. He also c...
Impact Williams' 73.9 percent completion rate was his best yet over his first four games, but his passing yardage total was only better than the paltry 93 he generated during his NFL debut against the Titans in Week 1. The rookie first overall pick did record his long-awaited first scoring connection with DJ Moore, hitting the veteran wideout from nine yards out late in the third quarter to extend the Bears' lead to 17-9 at the time. Williams did bounce back from consecutive multi-turnover performances as well by remaining free of any miscues, an encouraging sign as he heads into a favorable Week 5 home matchup against the Panthers next Sunday.
