Brisker collected 10 tackles in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. Brisker averaged seven tackles per game in each of his first two year with the Bears, so his Week 1 performance demonstrates an upside performance based on his career norms. In an emerging Chicago defense, Brisker could be in line to increase his 2022-2023 production, which could make him an elite IDP.

Brisker (undisclosed) was not listed on the Bears' injury report Wednesday. Brisker missed multiple weeks of practice during training camp due to an unspecified injury. He was able to progress to individual drills, and it appears the 2022 second-round pick is fully healthy from whatever was ailing him. Brisker has registered back-to-back 100-tackle seasons to start his NFL career, and he will serve as the Bears' starting strong safety alongside free safety Kevin Byard.

After missing the last three weeks due to an undisclosed injury, Brisker returned to practice in a limited capacity Tuesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports. It's not clear what has been ailing Brisker, but the 2022 second-round pick has been sidelined with the unspecified injury and has missed both of Chicago's preseason bouts. Given that he's still limited in his practice participation, he'll likely sit out of Thursday's preseason finale against Kansas City. Once fully healthy, Brisker is slated to serve as the Bears' starting strong safety and work alongside free safety Kevin Byard (undisclosed).

Brisker averaged 104.5 tackles and 15 games played during his first two years with the Bears. Since 2022, Brisker has just four games with fewer than five tackles, giving him an excellent IDP floor. In addition, the safety showed upside last year by posting at least eight tackles in four of his last nine games. If the defense around him continues to improve, Brisker may be freed up to make more big plays. The third-year player is worth considering as a starting option in IDP leagues.

Brisker posted eight tackles in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Brisker was a high-variance IDP, as his weekly tackle totals showed a pattern of highs and lows. In 15 games, the safety collected 105 tackles, one sack, one interception and a forced fumble. With two years remaining on his rookie contract, Brisker could see his production increase in 2024 if the Bears continue to build on the defensive improvements they made in the second half of the season.
