Gervon Dexter traded to Falcons for Clark Phillips and pick

The Chicago Bears are trading defensive tackle Gervon Dexter to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for cornerback Clark Phillips III and a fifth-round pick, per Adam Schefter and source.

Fantasy impact

Dexter is a defensive tackle and Phillips is a cornerback, so neither move touches your fantasy lineup. Both teams are dealing in defensive depth. If you stream team defenses, Atlanta's addition of Dexter could shift its defensive line rotation, but his exact role is unknown. Phillips, with no defined NFL role yet, offers no projection.

For Bears and Falcons offensive managers, this trade changes nothing about your weekly starts and sits.
