Noel caught his lone target for four yards, returned two punts for 11 yards and two kickoffs for 53 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Jaguars.

Noel was the wideout most impacted by the season debut of Christian Kirk, who missed the first two weeks with a hamstring injury. Noel played nine snaps, his fewest in the first three games. He did, however, maintain a role in the return game with a healthy Braxton Berrios inactive Sunday.

Higgins caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to Jacksonville.

The season debut of Christian Kirk had little impact on Higgins' workload, as the rookie was on the field for 44 percent of the offensive snaps, right at his season average through three games. That was the positive. The negatives are that Higgins has seen just one target each of the last two weeks, and that quarterback C.J. Stroud needs to elevate his game. Houston's pass attack was held under 200 net passing yards, accounting for yards lost via sack, for a second consecutive week.

Wright tallied nine tackles in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

With Jaylon Johnson (groin) on injured reserve, Wright moved into a starting role and immediately had a dominant IDP performance. When Chicago plays pass-heavy opponents, Wright could be a strong fantasy option.

Robinson recorded four tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Robinson was quiet in Chicago's first two games, but he came up big against the Cowboys. Until the defensive end can put together some consistency, he'll be tough to trust as an IDP option.

Sweat posted two tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Sweat is averaging 2.66 tackles per game and finally found the sack column. Although the veteran has been a weak IDP option, he has the talent to go on a multi-game sack streak, making him a boom-or-bust fantasy option.

Sewell tallied 11 stops in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Through three games, Sewell has games with 11, nine and five tackles. Sewell clearly has the ability to offer a high fantasy floor, especially if he is able to demonstrate consistency over the a multi-game span.

Byard picked off a pass while posting seven tackles in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Byard has averaged 4.5 tackles over Chicago's first two games before posting a strong performance against Dallas. Last year, the veteran posted at least six stops in all but three games. It's possible that Byard can build on this game and become a higher-floor IDP.

Edmunds intercepted two passes and registered 15 tackles in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Edmunds was solid in Chicago's first two games while recording seven stops in each contest, but the linebacker had an eruption against the Cowboys. Edmunds will remain a high-floor IDP option with occasional upside.

Zaccheaus caught three of four targets for 24 yards and added 12 rushing yards on his only carry in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

In Week 1, Zaccheaus posted 42 receiving yards, but he has just 36 yards over the last two games. Still, the veteran has at least four targets in each contest, and as long as he retains the No. 3 receiver role, he could continue to post limited yardage most weeks.

Kmet caught his only target for a 10-yard touchdown in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Although Kmet plays more snaps than rookie teammate Colston Loveland, he has just seven targets and four receptions over the first three games. However, with 29 and 31 yards in two of those three games to go with Sunday's touchdown, the veteran tight end may be carving out a consistent, low-volume role in the Chicago passing attack.
