Tank Bigsby’s trade gives Philadelphia a versatile option behind Will Shipley as a rib injury lingers, plus a capable kick returner for field-position leverage. Bigsby rushed for 766 yards and seven TDs last season for Jacksonville and carries an 28.5-yard kickoff return average, suggesting a meaningful early role as the Eagles navigate backfield depth.

Beyond the backfield, the discussion weighs AJ Dillon’s roster fate, Jaylen Carter’s discipline, and Vic Fangio’s defensive adjustments. The crew also highlights rookies Cooper DeJean and Keely Ringo, Adoree’ Jackson’s return to a starter’s role, and how Howie Roseman’s aggressive roster churn could shape Week 2 and fantasy value across Philadelphia’s skill players.

Caleb Williams embarks on a high-variance Bears run at Ben Johnson’s intricate offense, showing quick processing but a learning curve as the plays pile up. The MNF clash with Minnesota looms as a proving ground: Williams must balance elite arm talent with game-speed decisions, and Chicago leans on a healthier run game to ease the rookie through week one.

DeAndre Swift’s return to a Johnson system, DJ Moore’s target floor, and a Vikings defense adjusting to Williams’ tempo are the fantasy anchors. Goff’s familiarity with the Johnson approach adds a sharp contrast, while Williams’ ceiling remains tied to a cleaner start, reduced turnovers, and smoother pre-snap rhythm.

Chicago enters Week 1 with a clear fantasy throughline: De'Andre Swift drives the offense, backed by Roschon Johnson, creating a backfield that can stay fresh and versatile. Brisker anchors a defense testing depth with injuries to Gordon and Johnson, while Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson compete to lock down the corners. The Bears showcased depth in the preseason, signaling a balanced approach and a sprint to Week 1 against Minnesota.
