The Chicago Bears are gearing up for a big Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets.
The Bears, even without Caleb Williams, picked up a very impressive Week 3 victory over the Eagles to improve to 2-1. Williams will miss this game as well, so it will be interesting to see if the Bears can make enough plays without their star once again.
Ahead of this matchup, let’s take a look at Yahoo! Sports and see what they project the Bears’ stars to do from a fantasy football perspective in Week 4.

Projected Fantasy Points: 13.25
D’Andre Swift has a nice matchup in Week 4. The Jets are allowing the ninth-most points to running backs this year, so Swift should have plenty of opportunities to make plays.
Last week, Swift had 9.80 points after rushing for 84 yards and catching two passes. With Williams out again, the Bears will likely want to establish the run, especially considering the favorable matchup. Swift should have a few opportunities to score in the red zone, making him a solid start this weekend.
Luther Burden III
Projected Fantasy Points: 10.41
Luther Burden III actually had his best fantasy output of the season in Week 3, even without Williams. The receiver scored a season-high 16.30 points after scoring his first touchdown of the season.
In Week 4, Burden does not have a favorable matchup. Only six teams have given up fewer fantasy points to wide receivers this season, so it will be tough to produce. It’s hard to trust Burden without Williams, even if he did perform well last week. It’s probably best to avoid playing Burden until Williams returns.
