Huddle Up: Allen probably will receive some practices off during the season but is on track to being a solid part of the passing game in 2024. He probably can be considered at least a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: The Bears likely will be cautious with Williams, but he does need to play so he can be more comfortable in the offense. He probably can be considered a No. 2 fantasy quarterback at this time but could become a weekly starting option during the season.

Huddle Up: Swift helped his cause by staying healthy for most of the season for the first time in his four-year career, but perhaps the most interesting part of this stat is that he had only recorded 23 broken tackles on 364 carries over his first three seasons combined. He compiled 21 on 229 attempts in 2023. It seems unlikely that Swift will handle that much work - or be that successful breaking tackles - again this season in what should be a pass-heavy offense in Chicago. Considering Swift is not a great bet to score many touchdowns and probably won't handle a heavy workload, he should be considered a middling RB2 option.

Huddle Up: Williams enters the league with as much fanfare as any quarterback in recent memory and perhaps the best supporting cast of any No. 1 overall pick at his position in league history. It will be interesting to see how much new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron utilizes him as a rusher after he ran for 966 yards and 27 touchdowns during his three-year college career, as that variable will loom large in him either being a low-end QB1 or an elite fantasy option down the road. As a passer, his ability to buy time in the pocket and improvise is already at a high level. That bodes extremely well for him with the likes of Keenan Allen, D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze set to catch his passes.

Huddle Up: Odunze may not make the same kind of impact in his rookie year as Marvin Harrison Jr. or Malik Nabers - due to the presence of Keenan Allen and D.J. Moore - but that does not mean he won't make his mark. The No. 9 overall pick in the spring's draft is reportedly in the running to win the punt return job and will likely ascend into must-start territory if Allen or Moore are forced to miss some time. Consider him a WR4 with huge upside in fantasy drafts.

Huddle Up: Sugrue cites pass-protection struggles and durability (nine missed games over the last two seasons) as reasons why Chicago could move on from Herbert. It is a virtual certainty that Herbert would land on his feet elsewhere quickly. The Dallas Cowboys would be considered among the favorites to scoop Herbert up if he was let go, although cases can also be made for the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Chargers and New York Giants among others.

Huddle Up: Odunze's ability to win the punt return job will not have much impact on most fantasy managers, but it could for those who play in leagues who offer bonuses for return yardage. In those leagues, winning the return job might be just the thing managers need to bridge the gap between waiting his turn for significant playing time alongside DJ Moore and Keenan Allen and moving into the starting lineup. Of course, Odunze's punt return responsibilities would likely disappear if one of the two veterans misses time this season.

Huddle Up: Expect plenty of hype surrounding Odunze, the ninth overall pick in April, leading up to Week 1, but don't get swept up in it. Keenan Allen and DJ Moore should be the top targets this season, barring injury, so don't consider the rookie as more than a WR5 with upside.

Huddle Up: Odunze will have a role in the passing game this season but may be behind DJ Moore and Keenan Allen in terms of targets during games. He should still be a solid option in fantasy leagues during his rookie season and could be a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver for players.

Huddle Up: Kmet will have around six weeks to recover from any injuries and should be ready when training camp starts. He likely will be a No. 2 fantasy tight end in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: It seems like Kmet is dealing with a minor issue but may not be on the field again until training camp. He should be involved in the passing game this upcoming season and could be a low-end No. 1 or a high-end No. 2 tight end in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Although he should see a decent number of offensive snaps, Swift should not be considered a workhorse by any stretch, especially with the presence of RBs Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson on the roster. Swift should have weekly RB2 value, with RB1 upside, in his first season in Chicago.

Huddle Up: Odunze's rookie season will likely be capped if Keenan Allen and DJ Moore stay healthy, but he will still bring some value to the team as a contested-catch weapon and field-stretcher in that scenario in 2024. He is without question one of the top third receivers in the league and should be considered a strong fantasy option in any week Allen and Moore cannot play. Consider him a WR5 option now with WR3 upside.

Huddle Up: The Bears are likely taking things slow with Odunze, but he may not be on the field again until training camp. He will be a top three receiver for the Bears this upcoming season and can be at least a No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: This will be something to monitor as soft-tissue injuries are never ideal this early. But there's still a lot of time left before training camp so managers should still view Odunze as a fringe WR3 option in fantasy.

Huddle Up: The No. 1 overall pick is unsurprisingly the starter for the Bears. He has QB2 value with some QB1 upside in certain weeks considering the solid supporting staff around him.

Huddle Up: The Bears have DJ Moore and Keenan Allen as their main receivers, but Odunze probably will be the No. 3 receiver for the Bears. He should see a handful of targets each game and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Williams should start right away for the Bears and will have a solid group of pass catchers to work with during his rookie season. He can be considered a No. 2 fantasy quarterback at this point but has the chance to become a low-end No. 1 by the end of the season.

Huddle Up: Allen dealt with injuries this past season but is still one of the better receivers in the NFL when healthy. He will be working with a rookie quarterback in 2024 but can still be a starting option in all fantasy leagues if healthy.

Huddle Up: Assuming the Bears select a quarterback with the No. 1 pick, Allen should be a reliable safety valve for the rookie.

Huddle Up: Everett's money is not exactly chump change, which means he figures to see plenty of playing time. That means Cole Kmet's fantasy value will take a hit even if new offensive coordinator Shane Waldron utilizes a lot of 12 personnel looks. Both tight ends could fall into the TE2 range if Chicago ends up adding a quality receiver in the first or second round of the draft. For now, consider Kmet a low-end TE1 and Everett a decent TE2 in fantasy.

Huddle Up: Coming off a career season, Swift will now take over as the RB1 in Chicago. Second-year back Roschon Johnson will serve as a change-of-pace back, but Swift should have weekly RB2 value with RB1 upside in Chicago.

Huddle Up: Williams is expected to be the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft, either by the Chicago Bears, or a team trading for him. He'll be an upside QB2 option in single-year formats.

Huddle Up: Kmet was an important part of the passing game this past season and should continue to have a big role next season especially if the Bears have a rookie quarterback. Kmet can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Allen has a massive $34.71 million cap hit in 2024, which is why speculation has run rampant about the Chargers possibly wanting to part ways. However, the 31-year-old showed he still has plenty left in the tank after tallying 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games. As long as he doesn't get moved to a worse situation, Allen will be a WR1 option in 2024.

Huddle Up: Swift probably will receive a majority of the work in the running game and could also see a few targets in the passing game as well. He has been productive for fantasy players this season and should be a starting option in leagues this week.

Huddle Up: Swift sat out the final preseason game but appears to be recovered from his illness and should be ready to play in the Wild Card playoff game. He will receive most of the work at running back if active and can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott should share playing time at running back with Swift unavailable. Both can be considered flex options in most leagues.
