Chicago Bears clean the slate after a 27-24 loss to Minnesota, concentrating on a sharpened game plan for Week 2 against Detroit. The emphasis: fix mental lapses, wake up the defense, and re-ignite the run to take pressure off Caleb Williams. Montez Sweat gets a wake-up call, rookies Monangai, Burden III and Loveland should see more opportunities, and penalties, gaps, and coverages must be tighter to prevent a repeat nosedive late in the game.

Williams must improve timing and decision-making, while the Bears lean into a disciplined run game to support play-action and pressure Jared Goff. Fourth-down gambling should be limited; with a strong run game and improved interior rush, Chicago can stabilize and steal momentum in Detroit.

Miami aims to rebound at home vs New England after a 33-8 loss in Indianapolis. Five fantasy storylines drive the matchup: can Miami finally generate a pass rush against Drake Maye; will the makeshift O-line hold up with Daniels on IR and Jackson banged up; can the offense reconnect on big plays from Hill and Waddle; avoid a costly special-teams miscue from Brenden Schooler; and can Tua Tagovailoa return to efficient, turnover-light form. The game will shape the early-season fantasy landscape.

DJ Moore is a solid Week 2 WR3/flex play for fantasy managers, even as Chicago’s offense searches for consistency. Week 1 yielded 68 receiving yards on five targets with three rushes, suggesting a usable floor in a potential Detroit shootout. Moore sits behind Rome Odunze on the depth chart, but his veteran production and a favorable matchup keep him in lineups.

If Caleb Williams grows into rhythm and the Bears lean into the passing game, Moore could approach high-end WR3 upside in a game expected to pace up scoring against Detroit. The Lions’ defense showed cracks Week 1, opening a path for Moore in a likely up-tempo Week 2.
