A few weeks ago, many would have scoffed at the notion of a Chicago Bears vs. Atlanta Falcons game being of interest. The game is currently one of the most highly-anticipated of the weekend. The Bears and Falcons play two polar-opposite styles. Who will ultimately win out?
Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.
Best quarterback picks Chicago Bears vs. Atlanta Falcons
Cash Games: Justin Fields, QB, Chicago Bears (DraftKings $7.6K, FanDuel $8.7K)
There has not been a more exciting player to watch in the last month of the season than Justin Fields. The Bears' coaching staff has finally figured out how to utilize the dynamic skill set of Fields. Fields is taking off as a runner, leaving defenders in his wake. As long as Fields continues to run at this clip, he will be in the running for the top QB in fantasy football.
Tournaments: Marcus Mariota, QB, Atlanta Falcons (Draftkings $5.5K, FanDuel $7.2K)
Marcus Mariota was dreadful on Thursday Night Football against the Carolina Panthers. The Falcons' signal-caller needs to forget about that poor performance and turn his attention to the Bears, a beatable defense. Mariota will need to use his legs to give bettors a chance to gain leverage against the Tournament field.

Best running back picks Chicago Bears vs. Atlanta Falcons
Cash Games: Cordarelle Patterson, RB, Falcons (DraftKings $6.2K, FanDuel $6.7K)
Cordarelle Patterson remains the top back for the Falcons' offense. The Falcons run the ball as much as any team in the NFL, keeping Patterson on the DFS radar weekly.
Tournament: David Montgomery, RB, Bears (DraftKings $6.1K, FanDuel $6.2K)
David Montgomery was terrible last week with Khalil Herbert injured. The backfield could be all Montgomery's. When the field is down on a player, it provides a DFS buying opportunity.
Wide receivers and tight ends Chicago Bears vs. Atlanta Falcons
Cash game: Cole Kmet, TE, Chicago Bears (DraftKings $4.1K, FanDuel $5.7K)
With Justin Fields playing as well as he has lately, Cole Kmet has seen a rise in his fantasy value. The TD rate is unsustainable, but his involvement in the Bears' offense remains.
Tournament: Kyle Pitts, TE, Atlanta Falcons (DraftKings $4.4K, FanDuel $5.5K)
Kyle Pitts remains one of DFS' enigmas of the season. We know that Pitts is a terrific talent for the position. We also know that the Falcons are reluctant to throw the ball. If the Falcons can feature Pitts in a game where they have to throw the ball more often, Kyle Pitts would make for a fantastic DFS play.
