Fantasy football projections, Week 4: Packers-Bears featuring Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson and Jay Cutler

The Week 4 matchup between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears features a potentially high-scoring affair between division rivals. We've got the fantasy projections for you courtesy of numberFire.

A loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday would really put the Green Bay Packers behind the eight ball in the NFC North Division, especially given how badly the team lost to the Detroit Lions last week. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers was held to just 162 passing yards against a tough Lions defense on the road. His yardage total hasn't been that low since 2008 and although the Bears' defense isn't exactly the best in the NFL these days, Rodgers will need to be on his game if he wants to keep the Packers close to their opponents in the divisional race.

If Rodgers does put together a big performance in Week 4, it will likely also mean a nice fantasy stat line for wide receiver Jordy Nelson. Nelson has been the team's best pass catcher so far this season and he will continue to be this week, given that the Bears' best cornerback Charles Tillman (triceps) is out with an injury. He caught just five passes last week for 59 yards but that total should be a lot higher against the Bears.

Everyone around the NFL knows the New York Jets have a great defense, but the fact that sophomore quarterback Geno Smith turned the ball over a lot last week allowed Jay Cutler and the Bears to wear down that defense and keep it on the field. Cutler threw for 225 yards and two touchdowns against the Jets. Those aren't bad totals considering that receiver Brandon Marshall (ankle) looked obviously hurt throughout most of the game. Luckily for Cutler, he was able to find Alshon Jeffery and tight end Martellus Bennett often enough to keep the ball moving down the field on last Monday.
