The Chicago Bears are a fantasy football D/ST waiver wire pickup and streamer. Week 16 (2023) fantasy football team defenses - free agent waiver wire adds.
BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Don’t let the low rostership scare you away from the Bears. No defense has shot up the rankings farther than the Bears. Chicago is our second-ranked DST for Week 16 and is in Tier 1. Over the last five games, the Bears’ DST has averaged 12 fantasy PPG, with that average shooting up to 14.7 PPG over the last three games. They have allowed 13 or fewer points in three of the last five games and have averaged a ridiculous three interceptions per game over the last four games.
This defense is the definition of red-hot, and they get the 21st-ranked Cardinals at home in Week 16. Arizona has not been the cake DST matchup that it seems like, but Kyler Murray has not surpassed 256 passing yards or thrown multiple TDs in any of the five games since returning from injury and has thrown four interceptions in that span. If the Bears can get another defensive TD in Week 16 they could threaten for the top unit for the week.

Waiver Wire Pickups: Wide Receivers
The wide receiver position is just a little bit more forgiving than the running back position in terms of finding talent on the waiver wire.
