Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen is no JuJu Smith-Schuster. Unlike Smith-Schuster, who clearly cares for fantasy football owners everywhere, Cohen just, well, doesn't.
After rushing for just 12 yards on six carries and catching one pass for seven years during the Bears' win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Cohen drew the ire of fantasy owners everywhere, but he quickly put out the noise, via TMZ Sports:
“Hey, Fantasy owners. Ya'll get the (expletive) from under my comments. Talking about my weak performance. We got the dub. Bear down.”
You can completely understand where Cohen is coming from. He is playing a game, and fantasy football owners are playing a game that is based off of a game (how about that for layers?), so to take it so seriously that you are cursing Cohen out in his comments and telling him how much of a bum he is is just silly.
These are professional athletes getting paid to do their jobs. They are not sitting in the locker room before every game thinking, “Okay, I need to get X amount of yards to satisfy anyone who owns me in a fantasy league today.”
No; they are focused on getting out there and locking down a win, which is exactly what Cohen's Bears did on Sunday.
With the victory, Chicago moved to 11-4 and kept its hopes for a first-round bye alive. In order for the Bears to earn the No. 2 seed in the NFC, they need to beat the Minnesota Vikings next weekend while the Los Angeles Rams will have to lose to the 49ers.
