As the NFL Football season draws closer, WCG is back with another set of Fantasy Football games!
The Chicago Bears should have quite a few viable fantasy options this year, most of whom have boosted projections based on head coach Ben Johnson’s arrival in Chicago. Caleb Williams is expected to improve upon his 15.0 fantasy points-per-game average, and DJ Moore should feast against zone defenses as the Bears run more plays with two tight ends. Speaking of tight ends, a fun thing to monitor in fantasy this year will
be production for Cole Kmet versus Colston Loveland. Can Kmet return to top-10 form, or will Loveland dominate the downfield targets and make Kmet a non-factor in fantasy?
Whether you’re a die-hard fantasy player who loves checking your team every day, or you enjoy making a quick pick for the upcoming weekend, we’ve got the game for you. Plenty of the WCG writers are in these groups too, along with other readers, so feel free to talk smack in the comments!
PICK ‘EMS LEAGUE
For a very relaxed game with extremely low time commitment (as little as 5 minutes per week), join our weekly pick ‘em league. Pick ‘Em gives you a full list of the NFL games that week, and you predict the winner of each matchup and submit your picks. After each week, you can see how well you did and compare with other players in the league.

SURVIVOR LEAGUE
Similar to Pick ‘Ems, Survivor is an exciting game of picking one NFL team each week that you are confident will win their matchup. Once you’ve picked that team once in a season, you cannot pick them again. If your pick is wrong, you get a strike, and we’re setting it at two strikes and you’re out. You get one miss for the upcoming season, and the next one is your last.

FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE
Windy City Gridiron is entering year three of our fantasy football league, and we have six open spots! In an effort to even the playing field between those who have never played fantasy sports before and those who have been playing for years, we play with very standard PPR rules. If you play with a different scoring system, let us know in the comments!
The Fantasy draft is scheduled for Sunday, August 31, 2025 at 8:30PM Central.
The rosters will have 1 quarterback, 2 running backs, 2 wide receivers, 1 tight end, 1 flex (any RB, WR, or TE can be slotted here), 1 Defense, and 1 Kicker. The bench is limited to 4 players in an effort to reduce excess stashing.
The following Windy City Gridiron contributors are in the league:
Jack R Salo
TJ Starman
Bryan Orenchuk
Gary Baugher Jr.
Sam Householder
Sarah DeNicolo
These six open spots will be in high demand, so sign up quickly! These are first-come, first-served.
