Bears' Gervon Dexter: Won't play Week 15
Dexter (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.
Dexter likely hurt his knee against San Francisco in Week 14, as he logged only 21 percent of Chicago's defensive snaps in that loss. The defensive lineman didn't practice at all this week and consequently will miss his first game of the campaign. Chris Williams may be asked to play more defensive snaps against the Vikings on Sunday in Dexter's stead.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: Listed as non-participant
Dexter (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's walkthrough practice.
Dexter played a season-low 21 percent of defensive snaps during Chicago's loss to the 49ers in Week 14, seemingly due to the knee injury he's now managing. If the second-year pro can't get healthy in time for Monday's divisional road matchup against the Vikings, Byron Cowart and Chris Williams will stand to see increased opportunities at defensive tackle.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: First sack since Week 5
Dexter recorded seven tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and also recovered a fumble in the Bears' 23-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday.
Dexter averaged 2.5 tackles through Chicago's first six games, but the defensive tackle has notched at least five stops in four of the last six games. However, the second-year player has just 1.0 sack in the last seven contests after starting the season with 4.0 sacks through Week 5. Dexter has been an inconsistent IDP, but in leagues that start defensive tackles, he is a weekly upside play.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: Remains hot
Dexter posted a sack and three tackles in the Bears' 36-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Dexter has 4.0 sacks in five games while averaging three tackles. His ability to sack the quarterback has given him excellent upside potential at the defensive tackle position.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: Nabs another sack
Dexter tallied a sack and three tackles in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Not only has Dexter recorded at least three sacks in all but one game this season, but the defensive tackle now has three sacks on the season. As an interior lineman, Dexter has been a very productive IDP.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: Another sack in defeat
Dexter recorded a sack as his only tackle in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
The defensive tackle now has a sack in each of Chicago's two games and five total stops in that span. As an interior lineman, the tackle numbers may not be high on a weekly basis, so Dexter's ability to rush the passer could be his best path to IDP success.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: Collects sack in opener
Dexter recorded four tackles and a sack in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.
After posting 20 tackles and two sacks as a rookie last year, Dexter had an excellent start to the 2024 season. With the Bears potentially having an improved defense this year, Dexter could be in line to build on his solid Week 1. In IDP leagues that use the defensive tackle position, Dexter could be worth a speculative waiver add.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: Concludes first season in Chicago
Dexter finished the season playing 17 games, leading to 22 tackles and 2.5 sacks on 410 snaps.
Dexter was a defensive tackle for the Bears, playing between 42 and 50 percent of the snaps in 11 games. With one or fewer tackles in 13 games, he had very low production as an IDP. With two years remaining on his rookie contract, Dexter will likely see a similar role, since he plays a position that typically results in players frequently rotating in and out.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: Best game of rookie season
Dexter recorded five tackles and 1.5 sacks in the Bears' 37-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
This was the first game since Week 3 that Dexter posted more than two tackles in a game. In addition, after not entering the sack column until Week 14, the rookie has recorded at least half a sack in three of his last four games. He'll likely remain a low-floor IDP option in Week 18 against the Packers, but he could boost his value if he can add another sack.

Bears' Gervon Dexter: On to Windy City
The Bears selected Dexter in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 53rd overall.
Chicago opted to pass on Jalen Carter but was able to circle back and get one of the next-best interior defenders in the class in the second round. Dexter was a five-star recruit out of high school and looked the part at Florida. The 310-pounder had over 50 tackles in each of his final two seasons and wowed at the combine by running 4.88 in the 40-yard dash. His size is such that he can eat up blockers and clog run lanes, but the athleticism adds another element to his game and he could make some disruptive plays in the backfield as well.
