 Bears defenders lend a paw
|
Updated 10/18/2009 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: Notable Bears defenders from Week 6 at Atlanta include: LB Lance Briggs (six solo tackles), LB Nick Roach (seven total tackles), CB Zack Bowman (three solo tackles, interception) and CB Nathan Vasher (an interception, no tackles). | Analysis: Of these defenders, Briggs is a must-start in Fantasy play and Roach is working his way up the ladder and could be worth a flier in deeper IDP leagues. Bowman and Vasher don't produce enough stats for Fantasy use. The Bears play at the Bengals in Week 7. |
 Bears place Vasher on IR
|
Updated 11/30/2008 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: On Saturday, the Bears placed CB Nathan Vasher on Injured Reserve, making him ineligible to play again this season. Vasher has a fractured right hand. | Analysis: Vasher, who appeared in only four games a year ago because of a groin injury, has 18 career interceptions, but only two in the last two seasons. His nickname is "The Interceptor," but he doesn't figure to help your Fantasy team right now. Leave him on waivers in IDP leagues. |

Vasher out Week 13, maybe longer
|
Updated 11/26/2008 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: Bears DB Nathan Vasher has a fractured right hand and will miss Week 13 at Minnesota. Vasher, sidelined for three games earlier this season with an injury to his right wrist and thumb, was hurt Sunday against the Rams. Bears coach Lovie Smith said Vasher also reinjured his thumb. "He'll be out for a while," Smith said Wednesday, adding no surgery is required right now. Could Vasher be headed to IR? "Right now all I can say he is out. He's not playing this week," Smith said. | Analysis: Vasher, who appeared in only four games a year ago because of a groin injury, has 18 career interceptions, but only two in the last two seasons. His nickname is "The Interceptor," but he doesn't figure to help your Fantasy team right now, especially if he misses the rest of the season. Leave him on waivers in IDP leagues. |

Vasher suffers thumb injury
|
Updated 11/23/2008 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: Chicago lost DB Nathan Vasher to an apparent thumb injury in the 3rd quarter of Week 12's win over the Rams. | Analysis: Vasher is a low-end reserve Fantasy DB and his possible absence shouldn't bother too many Fantasy owners. The extent of the injury is not known but we don't recommend using him in Week 13 at Minnesota in either case. |

Vasher could return after bye
|
Updated 10/23/2008 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: The pins that were surgically inserted into his right wrist are gone, and Nathan Vasher was "feeling pretty good." Good enough to play when the Chicago Bears host Detroit following the bye? Coach Lovie Smith said they "expect" him to be ready, although Vasher wasn't making any promises Thursday. When he does return, there's no guarantee he'll still be starting at cornerback. "We don't have to decide those things right now," Smith said. "We have plenty of spots for a good football player. We would like four or five good cornerbacks who could play, for or five good safeties at every position. We would find a way to play them all." | Analysis: Vasher has missed three straight games and wasn't even at Soldier Field for the Bears' 48-41 victory over Minnesota on Sunday. Instead, he went to the hospital for swelling in his hand. Vasher is a low-end reserve Fantasy DB. |

|
Updated 10/19/2008 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: The Bears host the Vikings in Week 7 and have listed the following players as being inactive and out for that game: QB Caleb Hanie, DB Nathan Vasher, DL Matt Toeaina, DB Charles Tillman, DB Danieal Manning and LB Nick Roach. | Analysis: Tillman is a must-start when healthy. None of the other aforementioned players have any Fantasy relevance at this time. Leave them reserved for Week 7. |
|
Lloyd inactive Week 6
|
Updated 10/12/2008 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: Bears WR Brandon Lloyd is inactive for Week 6 at Atlanta. He is dealing with a knee injury. Also inactive for the Bears are QB Caleb Hanie, CB Nathan Vasher, LB Nick Roach, DT Matt Toeaina and NT Anthony Adams. | Analysis: This is the second game Lloyd will miss for the Bears. Keep him reserved and hope he can return soon. All the other players have minimal Fantasy value and should be kept on the bench against the Falcons. |

|
Updated 10/5/2008 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: Notable inactives for the Bears-Lions Week 5 game include: Bears QB Caleb Hanie, DB Craig Steltz, CB Nathan Vasher, DL Matt Toeaina and WR Brandon Lloyd. DT Tommie Harris is suspended. For the Lions, DL Ikaika Alama-Francis, DL Andre Fluellen, QB Drew Stanton, RB Marcus Thomas, LB Gilbert Gardner and DL Landon Cohen are inactive. | Analysis: Harris was suspended for breaking team rules.

Two Bears defenders probable
|
Updated 9/26/2008 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: Bears DE Alex Brown (ankle) and CB Nathan Vasher (shoulder) are probable for Week 4 vs. the Eagles. Both are expected to play. | Analysis: Brown is a decent No. 3 Fantasy DL while Vasher is a low-end reserve Fantasy DB. Consider them as warranted for Week 4. |
|
Vasher good and bad in Week 3
|
Updated 9/23/2008 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: The Sports Xchange notes that DB Nate Vasher had an interception and three pass break-ups in Week 3 against Tampa Bay, but he also got toasted on a 38-yard completion to Antonio Bryant in overtime that set up the winning field goal. | Analysis: Playing in only four games in 2007, Bears CB Nathan Vasher had just eight total tackles, one sack and an interception with two passes defensed. Vasher missed most of the season with a torn groin. Consider him a No. 3 Fantasy DB in deeper leagues now that he's healthy. |

Bears defenders make impact
|
Updated 9/21/2008 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |

The Bears will have their hands full with the Eagles in Week 4. |
|
Vasher (groin) only makes four games
|
Updated 1/14/2008 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: Playing in only four games in 2007, Bears CB Nathan Vasher had just eight total tackles, one sack and an interception with two passes defensed. Vasher missed most of the season with a torn groin. | Analysis: Vasher should rebound and be healthy for the 2008 season, where he'd be a No. 3 Fantasy DB in deeper leagues. |
|
Bears put Vasher on injured reserve
|
Updated 12/27/2007 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: The Chicago Bears put DB Nathan Vasher on injured reserve Thursday, ending his season. Vasher played in four games for the Bears this season, logging one sack, nine tackles, one interception and two pass breakups. He's been hampered by a groin injury. | Analysis: It's safe to release Vasher in all Fantasy leagues and hope he can make a healthy return in 2008. When healthy, Vasher is a No. 3 DB in IDP leagues. |

Bears list Week 16 inactives
|
Updated 12/23/2007 |

|
Vasher is 50-50 heading into game
|
Updated 12/21/2007 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: Bears CB Nathan Vasher (groin) is listed as questionable for Week 16 vs. the Packers. He returned to limited practice reps Friday after sitting out the previous two days. Vasher played for the first time in 10 games at Minnesota Week 15. He had an interception and three tackles in the game. | Analysis: When healthy, Vasher is a low-end Fantasy DB, capable of creating and making some turnovers but not compiling much in the way of tackles. He should play against the Packers, but will likely be a game-time decision. |

CB Vasher sits out practice
|
Updated 12/19/2007 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: Bears CB Nathan Vasher (groin) did not practice Wednesday or Thursday with the team in preparation for Week 16 vs. the Packers. Vasher rested his groin after playing for the first time in 10 games at Minnesota Week 15. He had an interception and three tackles in the game. | Analysis: When healthy, Vasher is a low-end Fantasy DB, capable of creating and making some turnovers but not compiling much in the way of tackles. We'll keep an eye on his progress this week, but he should be considered expected to play against the Pack. |
|
Vasher picks off a pass in return
|
Updated 12/18/2007 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: After missing nearly two months with a groin injury, Bears DB Nathan Vasher returned to the field Week 15 at Minnesota. He picked off QB Tarvaris Jackson pass and recorded three tackles. | Analysis: Vasher had only three interceptions in 2006, but he had eight in 2005. This late in the Fantasy season, though, you probably wouldn't want to take a flier on him off waivers. |
|
Bears list Week 14 inactives
|
Updated 12/6/2007 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: Bears DL Anthony Adams, QB Kyle Orton (3rd QB), WR Mike Hass, DB Nathan Vasher, LB Nick Roach and LB Darrell McClover have all been ruled inactive for Week 14 at Washington. | Analysis: Vasher has not played since Week 3 and can't seem to shake a nagging groin injury. When healthy, he is merely a low-end Fantasy DB. The remaining inactive players have little to no Fantasy value when in the lineup. Keep them all reserved Week 14. |
|
CB Vasher doesn't practice
|
Updated 12/4/2007 |
| Nathan Vasher, CB CHI | |
| News: Bears CB Nathan Vasher missed Tuesday's practice with his nagging groin injury. He is considered questionable for Week 14 at Washington on Thursday night. Vasher hasn't played since Week 4. | Analysis: At this point, Vasher is only worth hanging on to in deep-rostered IDP leagues. There's a chance he doesn't play again this season. |

Giants include QB Kyle Orton (No. 3/emergency QB), CB Nathan Vasher, LB Nick Roach, LB Darrell McClover, WR Mike Hass and DE Antonio Garay. | Analysis: Aside from Vasher, none of these Bears should be owned in standard Fantasy play at this time. |
