Play Bears Defense With Caution Against The Texans
2 months agoThe Chicago Bears' defense and special teams are poised to build on their stellar performance from Week 1 as they face the Houston Texans on Sunday. After leading the league in fantasy points last week, there's a lot of optimism surrounding the Bears' defensive unit heading into this primetime matchup. However, relying on defensive and special teams touchdowns can be unpredictable, and turnovers are notoriously fickle. With Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud expected to improve upon his performance against the Colts and with Joe Mixon demonstrating effective running, the Bears' defense will face a tougher challenge. Laremy Tunsil, one of the league's top tackles, will be a formidable opponent for the Bears' pass rushers, Darrell Taylor and Montez Sweat. Meanwhile, the secondary must replicate their impressive debut performance and contain Stroud's receiving targets, including Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs, and Tank Dell. Given his proven track record, Stroud represents a more significant test for the Bears' defense than Will Levis. Given these challenges, exploring other streaming defense options might be wise if available. However, if you prefer to stick with one defense, the Bears should still manage to hold their own against the high-powered Texans offense.
