The Bears are reportedly going to start Josh McCown at quarterback over Caleb Hanie for Week 16 vs. the Packers, according to ESPN Chicago. Fantasy Spin: This is no surprise as Hanie carried a laughable 41.8 efficiency rating over 102 passing attempts this season. The 32-year-old McCown holds a dismal 70.9 efficiency rating over his career however, and is not a recommended fantasy option against the rival Packers at hostile Lambeau Field.
