The Chicago Bears travel to The Big Apple to take on the New York Jets. Justin Fields' health remains the storyline for this one. Can the Chicago Bears upset the New York Jets, or will the Jets stay on course for a playoff berth?
Today we look at the best DFS plays from this intriguing match-up.
Best quarterback picks
Cash Games: Justin Fields, QB, Chicago Bears (DraftKings $7.4K, FanDuel $8.5K)
Monitor the reports leading up to game time on Sunday, but if Justin Fields is cleared to play, you can play him in DFS. The Bears' second-year signal-caller may not run as much as he has in the past, but he is still a threat every time he has the ball in his hands.
Tournaments: Mike White, QB, New York Jets (Draftkings $4.9K, FanDuel $6.2K)
We have seen Mike White go off on DFS slates in the past. The Jets' new starter at the QB position will have his full complement of weapons against a Bears defense that remains one to target for fantasy goodness.

Best running back picks
Cash Games: David Montgomery, RB, Chicago Bears (DraftKings $6.4K, FanDuel $7.5K)
With Khalil Herbert injured and out of action, David Montgomery handles every down workload for the Bears. The way to beat the Jets is on the ground, which makes David Montgomery appealing for this week's DFS slate.
Tournament: Michael Carter, RB, New York Jets (DraftKings $5.4K, FanDuel $6.2K)
Michael Carter may benefit as much as anyone with the QB change. Not only was the Jets offense completely dormant under Zach Wilson, but Mike White also has shown a willingness to get his backs involved in the passing game. The arrow is pointing up for Michael Carter, and against a vulnerable Bears' defense, Carter may have a ceiling performance in store for Sunday.
Wide receivers and tight ends
Cash Games: Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets (DraftKings $4.3K, FanDuel $6K)
Garrett Wilson has been great for the New York Jets lately. Wilson has quickly developed into the top receiver on the team. Whether or not new QB Mike White targets Garrett Wilson with the same regularity remains to be seen, but the opportunity is there.
Tournament: Darnell Mooney, WR, Chicago Bears (DraftKings $5.1K, FanDuel $6.1K)
The New York Jets are the top defense in the NFL against the WR position. Sauce Gardner and the young secondary have come a long way in a short period. Because Justin Fields is banged up and may not be willing to hang in the pocket to deliver the deep ball, Darnell Mooney's specialty, many DFS players will avoid the Bears speedster this week. Where others fade, there is an opportunity for you to gain leverage against the field. If Justin Fields and Darnell Mooney can connect on a couple of deep shots, it will pay dividends in a tournament field.
