NFL DFS: Sunday Night Football Showdown Week 2

Bears @ Texans (-6)
O/U 45

It’s only Week 2 of the NFL season, so there’s still limited data on rookie performances. However, one thing is clear—Caleb Williams and the Bears struggled last week. While Chicago’s defense is solid, which should help keep the game competitive, my primary focus will be on stacking Houston players in my lineup.

For the Captain spot, I’m leaning toward CJ Stroud as a top-tier option. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly choice, Tank Dell offers solid upside. The Bears defense allowed Tony Pollard to rack up 140 rushing yards and a touchdown last week, making Joe Mixon an excellent Flex option in this matchup.

As for Chicago, the only player I’m genuinely excited to roster is DJ Moore. Although his stat line didn’t impress last week, he was targeted eight times, showing his role in the offense. With key players like Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze nursing injuries, Moore is set to see increased volume. I might sprinkle in a lineup or two featuring D’Andre Swift alongside the Bears DST for some contrarian plays, but ultimately, Moore stands out as my preferred choice.
