29-Year-Old SafetyS
Chicago Bears
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Owens began last season as a backup but seized a larger role after Elijah Hicks was injured Week 11. From that point forward, Owens racked up 46 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble over seven games (five starts). He held onto the gig even after Hicks returned, showing consistent downhill play. Owens is under contract through 2025 and would need Jaquan Brisker or Kevin Byard to miss time to regain starting duties. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year contract with the Bears in March of 2024.
Excels in second half of season
SChicago Bears
January 6, 2025
Owens recorded five tackles (three solo) and recovered a fumble in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Owens was a non-factor through Week 11, when he had a total of three tackles. The safety moved into a regular role when teammate Elijah Hicks was injured. Once Hicks returned, Owens retained the starting job. In the last eight games, the veteran posted 46 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble. Owens is signed through 2025, and assuming he holds onto the starting role, he'll be a high-floor IDP.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Owens signed a two-year deal with the Bears in the offseason. After posting a total of 18 tackles during his first three years in the league, he moved into a prominent role. In 2022 with the Texans, the safety had a career year with 125 tackles. Then, after moving to the Packers last season, the veteran notched 84 stops. However, with the Bears, Owens is expected to play in a rotational role. With the expectation of limited snaps. Owens is unlikely to be a reliable IDP.
Owens went from undrafted depth player to impact defender last year in Houston, claiming a starting role and erupting for 125 tackles in 17 games as part of a defense that was on the field more than any other in 2022. The 27-year-old couldn't parlay his breakout campaign into a big payday, however, settling for a one-year prove-it deal with the Packers. He'll fill the strong safety role next to Darnell Savage in defensive coordinator Joe Barry's scheme and look to demonstrate that the aggression he played with last year is here to stay.

Links up with Packers
SGreen Bay Packers
May 12, 2023
Owens, who recorded 125 tackles as a starter for Texans last season, signed a one-year deal with the Packers on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Owens blossomed into a 17-game starter in 2022 and also produced four defensed passes and a sack in addition to the gaudy tackle numbers. The Missouri Western product could turn out to be quite a bargain if he garners a starting job in a Packers secondary that's in transition heading into the season.
