**Chicago Bears**
Inactives: QB Rex Grossman (3rd QB), CB Nathan Vasher, SAF Josh Gattis, LB Lance Briggs, G Josh Beekman, WR Mike Haas, DE Mark Anderson, NT Darwin Walker.
Fantasy take: QB Kyle Orton will start for the second consecutive week. The Bears defense will be without Briggs and Vasher, so this unit will be more vulnerable against Green Bay.
**Cincinnati Bengals**

Fantasy take: RB Kenny Watson will start in the absence of Johnson, which makes him a nice sleeper candidate. RB DeDe Dorsey will also see more work, but he has far less value.
