SEPTEMBER 16 • FOX SPORTS
Gervon Dexter Sr. - Another sack in defeat Dexter recorded a sack and a tackle in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact The defensive tackle now has a sack in each of Chicago's two games. Dexter also has five tackles over two games. As an interior lineman, the tackle numbers may not be high on a weekly basis, so Dexter's ability to rush the passer could be his best path to IDP success.

Gervon Dexter Sr. - Another sack in defeat Dexter recorded a sack as his only tackle in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact The defensive tackle now has a sack in each of Chicago's two games and five total stops in that span. As an interior lineman, the tackle numbers may not be high on a weekly basis, so Dexter's ability to rush the passer could be his best path to IDP success.

Jack Sanborn - Notches sack Sanborn posted two tackles and a sack in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact With the Bears often playing with two linebackers on the field, Sanborn is often the odd-man out. In this game, he played just 18 percent of the snaps, and Sanborn now has just two tackles on the season. The lack of playing time makes him difficult to count on in IDP leagues.

Kevin Byard III - Big game in defeat Byard tallied 11 stops in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact Byard tied Tremaine Edmunds with the most tackles for the Bears against Houston. Over the last four seasons, Byard has posted at least 100 tackles, and this performance puts the safety on pace for that level of production after he recorded just two tackles in the season opener.

Tremaine Edmunds - Big tackle numbers Edmunds recorded 11 tackles and a sack in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact After an uncharacteristically low tackle total of four in Week 1, Edmunds came roaring back against the Texans. In 2023, the linebacker posted 113 tackles in 15 games, and the 11 tackles Edmunds tallied this week put him back on track as a strong weekly IDP option.

Tremaine Edmunds - Big tackle numbers Edmunds recorded 11 tackles (eight solo), including a sack, in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact After an uncharacteristically low tackle total (four) in Week 1, Edmunds came roaring back against the Texans. In 2023, the linebacker posted 113 tackles in 15 regular-season games, and the 11 tackles Edmunds tallied this week put him back on track as a strong weekly IDP option.

Cairo Santos - Seven points in defeat Santos converted both of his extra-point attempts in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact Santos continues to be one of the most accurate kickers in the league since joining the Bears in 2020. Not only has he been perfect to start the season, but he's averaging 8.5 points over two games. Playing on an offense that has been breaking down in field-goal range, Santos may continue to be a solid weekly fantasy option.

Gerald Everett - Three targets in loss Everett caught two passes for one yard in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact After playing more snaps than teammate Cole Kmet in Week 1, Everett was scaled back to a 36 percent snap share in Week 2. On the season, Everett has three catches for zero yards. Everett's lack of yardage per catch makes him difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

DeAndre Carter - Four targets in defeat Carter caught three passes for 32 yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact Carter was been the replacement for Keenan Allen when the veteran missed snaps in Week 1 and in this game against the Texans when Allen was inactive. It's unlikely that Carter will see regular targets when Chicago's top-three receivers are healthy. However, when called upon to play significant snaps, Carter may be a useful possession receiver.

Travis Homer - Minimal usage in loss Homer had a six-yard rush in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact Homer has played between 20 and 29 percent of the snaps in Chicago's first two games, though he has a total of three touches to start the season. The veteran will need to have more opportunities with the football to raise his fantasy value.

Khalil Herbert - Finds end zone Herbert rushed two times for three yards and a touchdown along with two catches for four yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact Herbert played just nine percent of the snaps, and other than the short touchdown he scored, he was ineffective on limited work. In terms of playing time, Herbert played 20 percent fewer snaps than Travis Homer, as Homer has emerged as the No. 2 running back over the first two games. Unless Herbert sees more playing time, he'll be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Williams struggles in second NFL game as Bears fall to Texans

Caleb Williams and Chicago’s offense was bailed out by defense and special-teams scoring to get a win over Tennessee in their opener last week

Cole Kmet - Grabs four passes Sunday Kmet pulled in four of five passes for 27 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Houston.
Impact Kmet's four-catch night was a step forward after recording just one reception in the Bears' season-opening win over Tennessee. The starting tight end's production still left much to be desired from a fantasy perspective. Veteran backup Gerald Everett (three targets) continues to eat into Kmet's fantasy upside as the team prepares to face Indianapolis on Sunday.

Rome Odunze - Nabs two receptions in loss Odunze (knee) had two receptions off of five targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Houston.
Impact Chicago's QB/WR rookie starting duo continue to struggle two weeks into the season following synchronized duds on Sunday Night Football. Odunze had an opportunity late to make a leaping touchdown grab in the red zone, but the wideout from Washington dropped a high-point pass from Caleb Williams in the first half that hit him in the hands. There will be better days ahead for the Bears' offense as a whole, but it's tough to trust a player in fantasy that has provided just three receptions (nine targets) and no scores through two games. Odunze's next opportunity to break out will come against Indianapolis on Sunday.
