Yahoo Sports has identified the Chicago Bears defense as one of the top fantasy football starts for Week 9 of the 2026 NFL season, alongside three other defensive units.
The recommendation follows the Bears' performance against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on November 2, 2026, where defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons made a notable impact in the fourth quarter.
Fantasy managers are advised to consider the Bears' defense for their lineups, with the full list of must-start defenses available in the original Yahoo Sports analysis by Gray Deyo.
