With the belief that Justin Fields is their franchise quarterback of the future, the Chicago Bears traded down from No. 1 overall to No. 10 in a swap with the Carolina Panthers. With just a handful of draft picks coming on offense, Chicago opted to bolster their protection for Fields, while a key veteran trade acquisition should shake up their roster of weapons in the passing game.
Here’s a look at the projected offensive depth chart for the 2023 Chicago Bears following the 2023 NFL Draft.

Player most impacted by NFL Draft for fantasy football
Fields proved to be one of the best fantasy-scoring quarterbacks last season, which largely hinged on his ability to run the football. Now with the addition of Moore (via trading down from No. 1 overall) and with Johnson in the backfield, the third-year QB has arguably the most weapons around him in his professional career.
Throw Kmet into the mix, and it will be interesting to see if he makes the case to be a fantasy starter beginning in Week 1.
