Matt Bowen, ESPN fantasy football and NFL writer, advises against overreacting to Week 1 results. The Bears' offense resembled the 1999 Rams, and 12 players scored 30+ fantasy points, a Week 1 record. However, some big names disappointed.

Colston Loveland posted a zero despite Chicago scoring 59 points. He ran 25 routes and saw an end zone target, so he remains a top-five TE play in Week 2 versus Minnesota.

Drake Maye scored 9.82 points with three interceptions, but his rushing ability (47 yards) and past production (20.7 FPPG last season) suggest he can stay in the lower-tier QB1 mix versus Pittsburgh.

Dak Prescott had 14.4 points, two touchdown passes, and 14 rushing yards, but only 175 passing yards and one of six on deep throws. He needs explosive plays to George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb. Prescott is a midtier QB1 against Washington.

Omarion Hampton was a breakout candidate in Mike McDaniel's new system. His evaluation continues.
