Mitchell Trubisky, Chicago Bears

When looking for a streamer, we typically stay away from quarterbacks who are big underdogs, and that's what Mitchell Trubisky is this week as the Green Bay Packers are 7.5-point home favorites versus the Chicago Bears.

But Trubisky is appealing for two reasons -- he can get fantasy points with his legs, and the Packers' defense isn't very good.

In 12 games last season, Trubisky averaged 20.7 rushing yards per game (two free points), and he scored 2 total rushing touchdowns. He had three games in which he ran for at least 40 yards.

As for Green Bay's defense, the Packers gave up the sixth-most fantasy points per game to signal callers last year, and we project them to have the league's seventh-worst pass defense in 2018.

Our models like Trubisky this week, ranking him as the 15th-best quarterback, so if you can't stream Dalton, Trubisky is a quality fall-back option.
