Monday Night Football — 8:00 PM ET
Chicago @ Minnesota
Team Totals: Bears 18, Vikings 25.5
Caleb Williams was only under pressure on nine dropbacks (28.1%) against the Niners but ate seven sacks for -3 first-half net yards passing; he made up ground with 107 yards and two touchdowns in two-quarters worth of garbage time. His outlook for 1-QB leagues against Vikings DC Brian Flores’ league-high blitz rate is admittedly bleak and worth ignoring. In two-game slates, however, where we’re accepting that volatility to construct unique lineups, it’s worth noting Williams has completed 68.9% (fifth) of his passes for two touchdowns and zero turnovers against extra pass rushers since interim HC Thomas Brown took over play-calling duties. … D’Andre Swift handled 15 out of 21 backfield touches (71.4% share) sans Roschon Johnson (concussion), who’s already been ruled out for Monday night. Unfortunately, Swift has been stripped of any ceiling under Brown with a negligent 7% target share — he was averaging 10.5% of Chicago’s targets under former OC Shane Waldron — and, most recently, one target (4.2%) to Travis Homer’s three (12.5%). Swift has failed to reach 40 rushing yards as an RB3/FLEX in three consecutive games.
