Fantasy: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em and Sleeper
Start ‘Em: Marshawn Lynch, Seahawks
No matter how good Brian Urlacher and the Bears secondary thinks they are, Marshawn Lynch is on beast mode. Lynch is running at his best right now, so expect 100 yards and a score from the power back.
Sit ‘Em: Caleb Hanie, Bears
There should be no way that you are putting Hanie anywhere near your fantasy roster. Ever.
Sleeper: Marion Barber, Bears
Despite having one of the worst games in the NFL this season in terms of winning the game last week, Barber had a really good fantasy day. As good as the Seahawks are against the run, the Bears will be feeding the rock to Barber in big chunks.
What They’re Saying
Bears columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times Sean Jensen is reporting on twitter:
The official Seattle Seahawks twitter page is reporting:
Key Matchup: Marion Barber vs. Seattle’s Run Defense
The Bears know they will not be airing the ball out anymore this season, so this game will fall on the shoulders of Marion Barber. Barber will face one of the top rush defenses in the NFL. This battle will control the clock and dictate who will ultimately win this game.
Prediction: Seahawks 20, Bears 17
