Fantasy Football 2010: Chicago Bears

QB: With Mike Martz at the helm of the offense, look for Jay Cutler to explode onto the scene in 2010. Martz's pass first offense should vow in Cutler's favor. The biggest concern around Cutler is the interceptions. If he can make better decisions with the ball, he will become one of the league's better quarterback. Until then, I would feel safe drafting him in the middle rounds especially with the new offense he will be running.

RB: Some people might be surprised to see me select Chester Taylor, but it really isn't too crazy. The Bears didn't pay him to come here and just backup Matt Forte, who is trying to regain his form. Taylor will get his chances, and while he probably won't be rushing for 100 yards too consistently, he will make up for that by catching some balls out of the backfield. Taylor is a solid second option for your team, but don't fall in love with him. It will be tough for him to rack up a ton of yards with Cutler going to the air a lot.

WR: Devin Aromashodu should be a name on your watch list. The guy had a very solid four game stretch late last season, and gave us a glimpse of what he can really do. Him and Cutler will make a great tandem this year and I predict Devin to have a very good year. Once again though, I wouldn't reach. There are too many other options at WR that have established themselves as almost guaranteed points. Devin might be a guy to pick up late as a reserve, just in case he goes on a hot streak. He might be a good trade chip to strengthen your team later in the season.

TE: Personally I wouldn't select a tight end from the Bears. While it might be easy to fall in love with Greg Olsen's previous seasons, I expect him to take a big step back. The Bear's new offense is geared for the pass, but those throws are almost always in the direction of a wide receiver.

Defense: The Bears defense should be solid this year. Brian Urlacher is back from an injury and will be sure to lead the defense again. Also, the defense got a huge boost at defensive end by signing Julius Peppers, previously with Carolina. I would expect the Bears D to be one of the first 5 defenses taken.

Sleepers: Although this maybe obvious, Devin Hester is my sleeper pick. Not exactly a typical sleeper, as well all know that Hester can be electric at times. My biggest thing goes back to the new offense. This will get Hester more touches, and we know what that means.

I expect the Bears to have a few more wins that the experts expect them to have. I really think that the new offense will be a great fit for Cutler because he has shown that he has an above average arm. Look for them to give the Vikings and Packers a solid fight when they play them in the NFC North.
