| 0:00.0 | What is up, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Racklevin and it is Tuesday June 15th. |
| 0:22.3 | And our fantasy football preview series rolls on today. We're going to be talking the |
| 0:26.2 | Chicago Bears. Is this perhaps the end of the Matt Nagy regime? I don't know. I know some |
| 0:33.2 | bears fans might hope it is, but maybe they bought themselves some extra time with the first |
| 0:40.0 | round selection of Justin Fields in this year's draft. So of course, a big question that we |
| 0:43.4 | need to answer. When will fields be under center? Of course, there's others other elements |
| 0:49.1 | to this team. Of course, David Montgomery and his amazing finish to last year. We also |
| 0:54.9 | have the wide receiver position. And hey, man, Cole Comet, not bad for his rookie campaign. |
| 1:01.1 | But let's dive into the quarterback position since it really is kind of pivotal to this |
| 1:06.3 | entire team. So the Mitchell Trubisky era is officially over. And of course, during free |

| 1:28.3 | a guy who could start for you. I know it's not a high end starter, but Andy Dalton can |
| 1:33.0 | start in the NFL still is what it is. That doesn't mean the fantasy viable. It just means |
| 1:38.4 | he can be a starting caliber quarterback, very low end, but he had to do something. So |
| 1:43.4 | they did something. Now they also put themselves in a very interesting position, trading |
| 1:49.8 | up to the 11 spot and getting Justin Fields, who a lot of people thought could have even |
| 1:54.2 | been the number three overall pick at various points in the pre drive process. I think |
| 2:00.9 | as we got to the very end, and you know, the Mac Jones thing went out of control. Fields |
| 2:06.2 | was decidedly the number three on that list. A lot of people had it either as Jones |
| 2:10.2 | or Lance, but still he could have been the fourth overall pick. Somebody could have traded |
