Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2015
If Dozier can return to action from an undisclosed injury that landed him on injured reserve on June 21, he will likely provide depth at guard, though he could push Sam Mustipher for the starting role. Before signing with the Bears this offseason, Dozier spent his first four years in the league with the Jets before playing for the Vikings for the last three seasons.
Dozier started all 16 games with the Vikings last season. The 29-year-old guard isn't considered a lock for a starting job in 2021, however, as he'll battle for the starting left guard role.
A fourth-round pick in the 2014 draft, Dozier will serve as a backup at guard in 2015.
