QUARTERBACKS
| Player | Att. | Comp. | Yards | TD | INT | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Justin Fields | 529.3 | 323.1 | 3731.6 | 20.11 | 13.76 | 93.1 | 512.1 | 3.72 | 275.71 |
| Trevor Siemian | 42.3 | 25.9 | 285.5 | 1.69 | 1.1 | 6.5 | 11.4 | 0.13 | 17.9 |
Justin Fields: Perhaps the best thing we can say about Fields' rookie season is that he gets to reset in Year 2 and the new coaching staff should put Fields in more situations that play to his strengths. Starting 10 games as a rookie, Fields ran more over his final five starts and finished as a top-10 weekly quarterback in four of those five starts. A weak supporting cast (offensive line and pass catchers) remains a concern that could impact his growth, but Fields has top-10 upside.
RUNNING BACKS
| Player | Att. | Yards | TD | Rec. | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| David Montgomery | 214.2 | 878.2 | 6.21 | 47.5 | 361.5 | 1.8 | 195.78 |
| Khalil Herbert | 107.6 | 457.3 | 3.01 | 18.1 | 146.6 | 0.8 | 92.3 |
| Trestan Ebner | 33.8 | 140.3 | 0.85 | 5.8 | 44.2 | 0.2 | 27.65 |
| Khari Blasingame | 2.3 | 7.1 | 0.06 | 8.4 | 66.3 | 0.5 | 14.9 |
David Montgomery: Montgomery was sidelined from Weeks 5 to 8, but he scored the seventh-most half-PPR fantasy points when we exclude those four weeks. While he was relatively inefficient (3.77 YPC), he had a four-game stretch late in year (Weeks 13-16) where he hauled in 26 of 31 targets for 174 yards. That said, it appears that the new Bears' coaching staff could potentially spread the touches around more than the previous regime.
Khalil Herbert: Herbert showed what he could do during Montgomery's four-game absence, as the rookie totaled 78 carries for 344 yards and a touchdown with nine receptions for 44 yards. Herbert was fantasy's RB16 over that stretch. Outside of that four-game span, however, Herbert never exceeded four carries or five touches. With a new coaching staff in place, the workload gap when both are healthy should be less than it was last year.
WIDE RECEIVERS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Darnell Mooney | 81.1 | 1064.5 | 5.5 | 5.8 | 30.5 | 0.29 | 184.79 |
| Byron Pringle | 36.1 | 474 | 2.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 79.85 |
| Velus Jones Jr. | 33.9 | 431.8 | 2.3 | 0.9 | 4.3 | 0.04 | 74.6 |
| Equanimeous St. Brown | 25.1 | 363.5 | 2.1 | 1.4 | 7.4 | 0.06 | 62.6 |
| Ihmir Smith-Marsette | 9.9 | 124.5 | 0.8 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 22.2 |
| Dante Pettis | 5.1 | 60.3 | 0.3 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 10.38 |
| N'Keal Harry | 3.1 | 40.2 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 6.77 |
Darnell Mooney: Entering his third season as the team's clear No. 1 wide receiver, Mooney is coming off an 81/1,055/4 season in 2021 despite Chicago's passing game struggles overall. Depending on how much improvement we see from Justin Fields in his second season, there is plenty of upside with Mooney.
TIGHT ENDS
| Player | Rec. | Yards | TD | Rush | Yards | TD | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cole Kmet | 55 | 624.7 | 3.4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 110.37 |
| Ryan Griffin | 15 | 162.7 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 29.77 |
| Trevon Wesco | 3.7 | 40.2 | 0.2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 7.07 |
| Jake Tonges | 1.2 | 12.1 | 0.1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2.41 |
Cole Kmet: Kmet ranked top 12 in both targets (89, ninth) and receptions (60, 12th) amongst tight ends in 2021, but he finished the year with zero touchdowns. With a more competent offense in 2022 and better luck in the red zone, there is breakout potential for the third-year tight end.
