Chicago @ Minnesota
Team Totals: Vikings 23.5, Bears 20.5
The Bears visit Minneapolis with Justin Fields coming off Week 11’s QB8 fantasy score after his month-long absence due to a thumb injury. OC Luke Getsy has leaned into Fields as a runner over his last three appearances; Fields is averaging nearly 70 yards rushing during that span. Vikings DC Brian Flores’ league-high blitz frequency can leave Minnesota’s defense vulnerable to QB scrambles, especially when the extra rushers run behind the quarterback in the pocket. Fields is back to being an every-week fantasy QB1. … D’Onta Foreman’s (high ankle sprain) Week 12 absence reduces Chicago’s backfield to a probable two-man ordeal involving Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson. In last week’s loss to Detroit, Herbert worked firmly ahead of Johnson by holding commanding edges in touches (18 to 6) and snaps (32 to 25). The Vikings haven’t posed a favorable matchup for running backs, but Herbert has a chance to accrue 16-20 touches here, and Johnson is playable on single-game DFS tournament slates sans Foreman.
Fields’ 2023 target distribution: D.J. Moore 45; Cole Kmet 36; Herbert 21; Darnell Mooney 18; Johnson 12; Tyler Scott 8; Robert Tonyan 6. … Moore’s receiving lines in Fields’ last five full games are 7/96/1, 8/230/3, 8/131/1, 3/41/1, and 6/104/0. The Vikings are allowing the NFL’s 11th-most fantasy points to wide receivers.
