Key Players: Andy Dalton, Justin Fields
Roster Depth: Nick Foles
Veterans Andy Dalton and Nick Foles are not good. Rookie Justin Fields is Chicago’s best chance at getting good QB play this year, but rookie QBs aren’t usually good either. I mainly grade now based on proven production, so Fields’ draft status doesn’t factor in much here. If I was just basing it on certainty going into the season, this would be a 2, but Fields’ upside prompted me to round up.
Running Back: 7
Key Players: David Montgomery, Tarik Cohen, Damien Williams
Roster Depth: Khalil Herbert, Ryan Nall, Artavis Pierce, CJ Marable
David Montgomery broke out as a sophomore in 2020, but a lack of explosive plays limits how good I think he is.
