Week 13 Fantasy Football Defensive Streaming: Go Chargers, Go

Chicago Bears

Yahoo Ownership: 17%
numberFire Projected Rank: 4th

The Chicago Bears defense hasn't been a great fantasy performer this season, but they do rank as the sixth-best unit overall per numberFire metrics. They also draw a San Francisco 49ers team that will either start a beat up C.J. Beathard or Jimmy Garoppolo in Week 13.

The 49ers have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing defenses, with 5 of their 11 opponents finishing as a top-10 weekly option. Near the end of last week's game, Beathard injured his knee and is questionable to start. If he is unable to go, it'll be Garoppolo making his first start for San Francisco.

Although the Bears have only been a top-12 scoring defense three times, they do rank 9th in sacks (30) and 13th in quarterback hits (66). Meanwhile, the 49ers' offensive line has had issues protecting the quarterback, whether it's been Beathard or Brian Hoyer under center. This group has allowed the most quarterback hits (94) and seventh-most sacks (35) this season.

Chicago is currently a 4.0-point home favorite in a game that has a 39.0-point over/under, the second-lowest total this week. In what is projected to be a low-scoring affair, the Bears make for a decent streaming option, regardless of who is under center.
