Sunday Night Football
Chicago @ San Francisco
Team Totals: Bears 25, 49ers 27.5
Buckle up: Even 44-year-old Philip Rivers tossed two TDs for 17 fantasy points against this San Francisco defense bereft of talent without EDGEs Nick Bosa (torn ACL), Mykel Williams (knee), and All-World LB Fred Warner (ankle). The team with the first stop wins Sunday night, slotting Caleb Williams as a no-brainer QB1. … No team has allowed a higher Success Rate (50.2%) from the ground since the Niners lost Warner in Week 7, and only the Seahawks are defending more targets to enemy backfields weekly. That bodes well for both D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai as neck-and-neck RB2s, the latter who’s quietly out-carried Swift 9-8 inside the 5-yard line this year.
