Fantasy Player Projections

Russell Wilson

Wilson has developed into a fine fantasy spot starter over the past month, with two or more touchdown passes in each of his last four games. He wasn't throwing against the Bears in those starts, though.

Marshawn Lynch

The Bears sound like a tough matchup for opposing backs, but Chicago has allowed a 100-yard rusher in three of the past four games. Lynch, meanwhile, has reached the mark in four of his last five outings.

Sidney Rice

Rice has become predictable –- 49-55 yards in his last four games –- but he has also been a successful option for fantasy owners dating back to the halfway point of the season, with four touchdowns in his last four games.

Golden Tate

Russell Wilson has given Tate a second chance, and through 11 games Tate is tied with Sidney Rice for the team lead in touchdowns. However, last week the Chicago secondary did not allow a catch of more than 13 yards -– that doesn't sound like Tate's kind of game.

Doug Baldwin

Baldwin is seeing more looks lately, and he saw more targets than Sidney Rice last week. But it has meant virtually nothing to fantasy owners. Don't expect him to turn over a new leaf in this game.

Zach Miller

Over the past two games Miller has averaged a measly 6.6 yards per catch. He just doesn't play a big role in this passing game, and in a game in which Seattle's passing will be minimized, Miller will feel the pinch.

Steven Hauschka

Hauschka hasn't scored more than six points in a game since the first weekend in October. We're not holding out hope for this week. Chicago's zero tolerance defense will limit his chances.

The PED story and Seattle's disappointing performance last week will serve as distractions as they enter unfriendly Soldier Field. Most weeks Seattle is a smart bet; not this one.

Jay Cutler

Cutler looked shaky at times in his return last week and now must face one of the league's best pass defenses. He may no longer be dealing with concussion symptoms, but Seattle will surely give him a headache.

Michael Bush

Matt Forte's health will determine Bush's effectiveness, but even if Forte plays fantasy owners may want to find a spot for Bush. The Chicago coaching staff will use Bush plenty to save Forte's legs.

Matt Forte

Expect Forte to be a game-time decision. Early reports were encouraging, but the coaching staff will not have a clear picture of how limited Forte will be until closer to the end of the week. He may be limited even if he plays.

Brandon Marshall

Excluding a bad day against San Francisco, Marshall has been consistent this season and has performed well against several strong pass defenses (Dallas, Houston). The Seahawks love to talk and play physical, but Marshall is one wide receiver who can handle it.

Earl Bennett

With Alshon Jeffery expected to miss more time (knee), Bennett returns to the No. 2 spot in the Bears' passing attack. Even so, Bennett is not a fantasy starter, having averaged 26.4 yards in nine games this year.

Kellen Davis

Davis played last week despite being hobbled by a bad ankle –- not that fantasy owners took notice. He has caught less than 50 percent of the balls thrown to him this year, and has caught more than two passes in a game just once.

Robbie Gould

Most kickers are better at home, but all four of Gould's missed field goals this year have come at Soldier Field. On the flip side, he has attempted 16 field goals in six home games ... fantasy owners can live with a miss now and then.

Devin Hester's status (concussion) is worth watching, but it's nothing that should stop fantasy owners from giving this unit the green light for Week 13.
