Andy Dalton likely to start
Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields is nearly certain to miss the season finale against the Vikings after testing positive for the coronavirus.
The Bears put Fields on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday morning. He is vaccinated, but is highly unlikely to meet the NFL’s threshold for returning to play by Sunday. That means the Bears will probably start veteran Andy Dalton for the second week in a row. (Chicago Sun Times)
Nerdy Football Analysis: It’s looking like another week of Andy Dalton at quarterback for the Bears who just posted a 18-35, 173-1-1 line against the Giants in Week 17. He’s off the fantasy radar and an undesirable DFS play in Week 18.
