Steve Johnson ($5,400)

As I mentioned talking about Woodhead, the Chargers' passing offense is a great target in fantasy this week.

They have an excellent matchup, taking on a Chicago Bears defense that our metrics rank 30th against the pass, and with a projected total of 26.5 that reflects it. The top wideout, Keenan Allen, is missing the remainder of the season, and he leaves a huge void, as he accounted for 27% of the Chargers' targets.

Stevie Johnson is third on the team and second among Chargers' receivers with 37 targets, which he's done despite missing two of the team's eight games. His efficiency has been fairly middling -- his 0.72 Reception NEP per target ranks 3rd on the team and 36th among the 82 receivers with 25-plus targets on the year -- but it's high enough that it doesn't come up as a red flag among everything working in his favor this week.
