Tillman's big TD also historic: DB Charles Tillman delivered the big blow for the Bears in their 17-13 victory at Minnesota in Week 17. He happened to be in the right place at the right time in the second quarter, catching a pass that bounced off the hands of RB Toby Gerhart and returning it 22 yards for a touchdown. The interception return gave him five for his career, most in team history. "One day when I'm old and retired, I will look back at my stats and say, 'Yeah, that is good,'" he said. "In the moment, right now, I'm just trying to get better, to keep going and keep rising." (Updated 01/01/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Tillman also had six tackles, including two solo, on the day, which is more what he's known for contributing in Fantasy. He finishes the season with a career-high 99 and is still productive enough at age 30 to target as a top DB in Fantasy IDP leagues in 2012. (Updated 01/01/2012).
04/04/2012 16:25 Draft team needs: Chicago Bears
Jay Cutler and Matt Forte are healthy. Brandon Marshall is in, but the Bears still need wideout help. Pete Prisco sees more problems on Chicago's aging defense, and he's not just talking about Brian Urlacher.
Charles Tillman continued to be an excellent source of tackles for IDP league owners with 99 total, adding three interceptions with two returned for touchdowns, four forced fumbles and 12 passes defensed. Consider him a No. 1 Fantasy defensive back worth a middle-round pick - not much higher - in drafts this summer. (Updated 4/19/12)
