With Rex Grossman injured and Brian Griese ineffective, the Chicago Bears will go with third-string quarterback Kyle Orton next Monday against Minnesota. Orton has not started a game since 2005, when he started 15 times as a rookie and helped the Bears win the NFC North.

Fantasy Football Impact: Orton has a few weapons -- like Bernard Berrian and Muhsin Muhammad -- but it remains to be seen whether he can use them.
