It’s hard to find a matchup of further opposites than the Bears and the Texans. Houston boasts one of the best offenses in the league, and given the way they played Tennessee, it looks like Chicago will boast one of the best defenses.
Since it’s such a unique matchup, though, both teams will have different game plans going into Sunday night. Some players who performed well in Week 1 might not match their performance in Week 2.
Chicago Bears at Houston Texans Start Em’
Dalton Shultz (Draft Kings Price $ 4.6k, Fan Duel Price $ 5.5k)
One of the strengths of Chicago’s defense is their secondary, as shown by their two interceptions last week against Tennessee. Therefore, C.J. Stroud might want to target Shultz in the Red Zone. He won’t catch the same coverage that Diggs and Collins will likely get, and Shultz has good enough hands to grab a touchdown or two.
Nico Collins (Draft Kings Price $ 7k, Fan Duel Price $7.6k)
Most of the buzz coming from Houston is about Stefon Diggs’ two-touchdown game against the Colts. Fans might be forgetting that, technically, Collins had the better game (117 yards off of 6 catches). Diggs will be covered by Jaylon Johnson, who might be emerging as a strong corner in the league, which means Collins might be open more often than Diggs is.
