Through six games, the Chicago Bears have a point differential of negative-1. Through five, the Miami Dolphins' differential sits at negative-4. And both teams are within a game of .500. They got about it in different ways -- Miami has only played one truly close game, while Chicago has multiple -- but so far, these appear to be two pretty average teams playing Sunday.
Fantasy football advice, Week 7: Who to start/sit for Dolphins vs. Bears
Two teams that appear quite average face off Sunday in Chicago.


The injury report for this game is on the long side of things -- for one side. The Dolphins lost running back Knowshon Moreno for the season to an ACL injury. Meanwhile, quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle), wide receiver Brian Hartline (finger) and tight end Charles Clay (knee) have all been on the injury report, though all look likely to play. The Bears, meanwhile, have very few injury concerns, at least from a fantasy perspective.
The Bears host Sunday’s game, scheduled for 1 p.m. ET Sunday. Here’s a glance at the fantasy players to consider:
DOLPHINS
Start 'em: Moreno's absence for the rest of the season makes Lamar Miller an every-week fantasy starter at running back. He should be safe for most of the rest of the way. ... Wideout Mike Wallace has been stout so far, with at least eight fantasy points every game. He's a good starting option.
Start 'em?: With at least seven fantasy points in four of five games, Caleb Sturgis has been a fine fantasy kicker. ... The Bears have a stout offense, but the Dolphins' defense has at least been competitive most of the season.
Sit 'em: After an awful start to the season, Ryan Tannehill has been a bit more productive the last two weeks, but he still sits outside normal startability. ... Jarvis Landry had a strong Week 6, supplanting Brian Hartline for now, but while Hartline isn't even ownable, the best you can say about Landry is that he's a stash candidate, not a useful player. ... Charles Clay has been horrible this year, and is totally off fantasy radars.
BEARS
Start 'em: The Bears are one of fantasy's favorite teams. Jay Cutler is an obvious starter, as are Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffery, Brandon Marshall and Martellus Bennett. There are no guarantees all five will be productive, but any of the five could have a huge game, and they all need to be started. ... Robbie Gould is a strong fantasy kicker as well, with lots of opportunities. ... And the Bears' defense has been surprisingly productive so far, with three double-digit fantasy days already.
SUMMARY
Start in every league: Lamar Miller, Mike Wallace, Jay Cutler, Matt Forte, Alshon Jeffery, Brandon Marshall, Martellus Bennett, Robbie Gould, Chicago defense
Start if you're desperate: Caleb Sturgis, Miami defense
Bench: Ryan Tannehill, Jarvis Landry, Brian Hartline, Charles CLay
