NFL
8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 13

Mitchell Trubisky, QB, Chicago Bears

Mitchell Trubisky didn't have much fantasy appeal when the Chicago Bears first handed him the reigns of the offense -- he averaged only 16.0 pass attempts per game in his first three starts -- but they have opened things up for him. The rookie signal-caller has attempted at least 30 passes in each of his past four games.

He posted a dud last week against a strong Philadelphia Eagles secondary, but his three games before that saw him post 10.9, 15.9, and 14.5 fantasy points. Those aren't overwhelmingly strong marks, but encouraging signs that he is capable of turning that volume into respectable fantasy performances.

His matchup this week is as good as it gets, as the San Francisco 49ers have allowed the league's most fantasy points per game (20.4) to opposing quarterbacks while ranking 28th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play. Trubisky should have little trouble bouncing back from last week's dud.
