6 Bears playmakers make Yahoo's top 100 fantasy players

Yahoo's Justin Boone had six Chicago Bears players in the top 100 fantasy football prospects in FPPR leagues.

The Chicago Bears' offensive explosion under head coach Ben Johnson has led to their playmakers being in high demand for fantasy football season. Quarterback Caleb Williams set a franchise single-season passing record in his first year, and is joined by a strong cast of wide receivers, tight ends, and running backs. Six Bears players are ranked in Yahoo's Top 100 fantasy players, with tight end Colston Loveland being the highest-ranked at No. 33 and overall.

Loveland is expected to be a top fantasy player for the Bears due to his improved experience in Johnson's system. Running back D Andre Swift is at No. 45 overall, but may be slightly overrated due to sharing the backfield with Kyle Monangai. Wide receiver Rome Odunze is at No. 60 overall and is seen as a top-50 fantasy player. Quarterback Caleb Williams is ranked lower at No. 78 overall, but is still a strong fantasy quarterback option due to the offensive weapons he has around him.

Running back Kyle Monangai is ranked No. 100 overall and could be a late-round consideration in PPR leagues. Kicker Cairo Santos rounds out the Bears' Top 300 ranking at No. 300.
