BALLER MOVE: Add in 2 QB Leagues / Stream for Week 11
OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: My commentary on how bad the Bears defense has been will start and end here: on average, the Chicago Bears give up 277 passing yards per game (ranked 23rd), just over two touchdowns per game (ranked 29th), and the third most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. They’re slowly becoming a defense to feel very confident about streaming QBs against.
Teddy Bridgewater is a guy I would like to some extent regardless of the matchup, but this week he is an extremely solid option. The rookie has increased his production each week since his poor week six performance, culminating in a 268 yard, one touchdown performance that also included three rushes for twenty yards in week nine. Another upward trend for Teddy has been his volume of attempts. In the last two games, Bridgewater has tossed 42 passes, and has hovered the 60% completion percentage mark. The Vikes have won both of those games, so I look for him to have similar volume this week.
There aren’t a ton of guys that have as solid matchups this week, so look for Bridgewater to have a very good game coming off of a bye week. And when I say good, I mean a top ten fantasy QB this week. We all witnessed the brutal beating the Bears took in week ten. I’m not claiming that Bridgewater will toss six TDs like Rodgers did, but he’s a guy I would start with confidence in most leagues this week.
