Summary

The Bears remain an elite fantasy defense because of their great return man (Devin Hester) and tendency to create turnovers. Chicago had 20 interceptions and nine fumble recoveries last season - both totals were among the best in the league. And Hester is a dynamic return man, capable of scoring every time he touches the ball. He makes this unit elite. Chicago's defense was especially tough against the run last year, ranking 5th overall while their pass defense ranked just 28th. The pass defense remains a concern for the Bears but should be improved some if the defense can stay healthier this year. Linebacker Brian Urlacher is the heart and soul of the defense and can dominate a game.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The special teams really help the value of this unit. If not for Hester, this squad is more middle of the pack than anything. But with Hester around and some guys getting healthy, consider the Bears a legit No. 1 fantasy defense. They won't get you a ton of sacks but have some touchdown potential and are usually an opportunistic unit under Lovie Smith.
