The Bears Need to Improve this One Number

I am not a fantasy football guy. The only two times I ever had a fantasy football team, both for work, I selected the Chicago Bears defense first, either Matt Forte or Brandon Marshall second, and Jay Cutler third. As I understand it, though, in fantasy football there is an advantage to having a player accumulate a high number of touches. Total yards are good. That makes sense in a video game kind of way, I guess.

Actual football is different. Each team only really gets three “free” touches per drive, and there are only so many drives per game.
