Should I Start The Bears DST In Week 10 Fantasy Football?
With stars, Roquan Smith and Robert Quinn both dealt at the NFL trade deadline, this Chicago defensive unit is facing an uphill battle for the remainder of the season.
The Bears have registered just 13 sacks on the year, which is the third-fewest in the league. They grade out 31st in the NFL in Total Defense DVOA.
While a home matchup against the slumping Detroit Lions is certainly notable, fantasy GMs should tread carefully here.
