The Chicago Bears aren't slowing down. With injuries piling up in the secondary and a culture shift taking hold under head coach Ben Johnson, Chicago is pushing forward — and now they're set to host Asante Samuel Jr. for a visit next week. The former Chargers star, now fully cleared after spinal fusion surgery, could be the exact shutdown corner the Bears desperately need with Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon still sidelined.Plus, Bears GM Ryan Poles opened up about his aggressive pursuit of EDGE help at the trade deadline — turning “every stone” before ultimately landing Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, a low-risk, high-upside addition behind Montez Sweat and Austin Booker.And as adversity continues to hit the roster, Caleb Williams explains why this Bears team is winning differently. From offense to defense to special teams, Chicago is finally playing complementary football — and building a real winning culture.Tap in with Haize as he breaks down what Samuel's visit means, how Poles is reshaping the roster, and why the locker room has fully bought into Johnson's standard.

The Chicago Bears didn't make the big splash fans were hoping for — but they did make the move they needed.

Adam Harstad and Matt Waldman reprise their season-long RSP Film & Theory podcast with a discussion about redraft and dynasty concepts.  There are a lot of excellent writers and analysts in the fantasy industry. There are few that I hold in as high a regard as Adam (and not surprising he earned the FSWA's Fantasy Writer of the Year). He's a forthright human being with a tremendous intellect whose approach to analysis in this space differs from most. He's also an excellent fantasy GM in re-draft and dynasty formats.  Adam spends a lot of time examining results and dealing with broad themes of decision-making that help us become better fantasy players and fantasy analysts. https://youtu.be/N47VJ7Cqy8I Topics Fantasy football is weird Fantasy football is random?
