The Chicago Bears enter their bye week with several players putting together impressive individual seasons, and the latest Pro Football Focus grades show just how much talent is driving the team’s success. Chicago’s playmakers have gotten plenty of attention, but some of the team’s highest-graded performers are doing their best work in the trenches.

From an offensive line tandem keeping Caleb Williams protected to a young receiver making an immediate impact, the Bears have several players earning recognition around the league. Chicago’s major defensive addition is also proving his worth. Here are the five highest-graded Bears entering their Week 10 bye.

Darnell Wright, RT (85.9)

Wright has continued to flourish at right tackle, and he played a near-perfect game in Week 9. He’s playing his role at a high level and keeping his quarterback clean. That isn’t easy to do when a quarterback like Williams extends plays with his legs early and often.

Wright is currently PFF’s third-highest-graded offensive tackle in the NFL. He has allowed just one sack on 376 pass-blocking snaps this season.

Jonah Jackson, RG (83.1)

Lined up right next to Wright, Jackson is also having a stellar season at right guard. The pair has opened wide running lanes for Chicago’s backs and kept Williams upright. That’s all you can ask of your offensive linemen.

Jackson hasn’t allowed a single sack on 363 pass-blocking snaps this season. With a perfect ledger in that category, it’s easy to see why he’s the fifth-highest-graded guard in the NFL.

Luther Burden III, WR (82.9)

Burden is the Bears’ leading receiver, and he showed the NFL why again in Week 9. He finished with seven catches for 97 yards and a long touchdown. He keeps taking the league by storm with his big plays.

Burden is on pace for more than 1,200 receiving yards this season, and 353 of his 644 yards have come after the catch. He’s proving to be a do-it-all receiver.

Jeffery Simmons, DT (78.3)

Simmons has made a massive impact for the Bears, and between his two stops, he’s having another monster season. Chicago’s defense has raised its level of play by rallying around Simmons since his arrival.

On the year, Simmons has posted 29 pressures, six sacks and 25 run stuffs, according to PFF. That’s an investment well made.

Kyle Monangai, RB (74.6)

The Bears are missing Monangai in the ground game. It’s unclear when he’ll return, but when he does, he’ll hopefully give a spark to an offense that once averaged 196 rushing yards per game with him carrying the ball.
