Bears | No designation for Rome Odunze Fri Oct 31, 03:12 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (heel) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Odunze didn't practice early this week, but was a full participant by Friday. Fire him up as a back-end WR1 in what projects to be a prolific matchup against the Bengals. |
Bears | DJ Moore should be available Fri Oct 31, 03:11 PM
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (groin, hip) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
| Footballguys view: The Bears are battling some injuries this week, but they'll be with their top two wideouts, Moore and Rome Odunze. With D'Andre Swift out, Moore might get some extra usage out of the backfield this week, something we've seen Ben Johnson toy with this season. Moore is a high-upside WR3 this week against the Bengals. |

Bears | Luther Burden will not be available Fri Oct 31, 02:54 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (concussion) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and has been ruled out for Week 9.
| Footballguys view: Burden has been a buzzy name since the NFL Draft, but has had a quiet debut season aside from a big touchdown catch on a flea flicker in Week 3. He had been rotating in for about a quarter of the team's offensive snaps. In his absence, the outlook for the rest of the Bears' pass catchers doesn't change much. Burden will hope to clear concussion protocol and return in Week 10. |
Bears | Week 9 injury report for Chicago Fri Oct 31, 02:53 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (concussion), RB Roschon Johnson (back), DL Domonique Robinson (ankle), and RB D'Andre Swift (groin) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 9 against the Cincinnati Bengals. LB Amen Ogbongbemiga (knee) practiced in full all week and has been listed as questionable. DL Grady Jarrett (rest) did not practice on Friday, Oct. 31, and no longer appears on the injury report. TE Cole Kmet (back), WR DJ Moore (hip, groin), WR Rome Odunze (heel), DB Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder), OL Joe Thuney (rest), and WR Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Bears | D'Andre Swift to miss Week 9 Fri Oct 31, 02:48 PM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 31, and has been ruled out for Week 9.
| Footballguys view: The Bears have been fairly liberal with giving Swift rest days, as he has managed this groin injury for a few weeks. As Ben Johnson put it earlier in the week, his job is to "protect the player from himself," and Swift wants to play this week. With him out, expect rookie Kyle Monangai to be the lead back. Roschon Johnson is also out in this game, meaning Monangai will only be splitting backfield touches with Travis Homer, whose primary duties come on special teams. Against a Bengals defense giving up more fantasy points to running backs than any other team, Monangai makes for a high-end RB2 this week. |

Bears | Olamide Zaccheaus limited Thu Oct 30, 03:31 PM
Chicago Bears WR Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.

Bears | Limited practice for Rome Odunze Thu Oct 30, 03:28 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (heel) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: Odunze did not practice on Wednesday, and he's limited on Thursday. That means he's trending in the right direction, but he should still be considered questionable by Fantasy GMs looking for starting lineup help. If he's out there against a bad Bengals defense, Odunze is a WR2 with upside in Week 9. |
Bears | DJ Moore back on the field Thu Oct 30, 03:24 PM
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (groin, hip) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: This is the same practice plan Moore has been going through over the last two weeks. If he's full on Friday, Fantasy GMs can look to Moore as a WR3/flex option against the Bengals in Week 9. |

Bears | D'Andre Swift sits again Thu Oct 30, 03:18 PM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) did not participate in practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
| Footballguys view: This is different from what we've become used to with Swift as he deals with this groin injury. He has been getting in limited work on Thursdays. Now, we have to see what he can do on Friday. Kyle Monangai would get the start if Swift has to miss time. With a hapless Bengals defense coming up, Fantasy GMs need to be dialed into this situation. |

Bears | D'Andre Swift not on field Wed Oct 29, 03:53 PM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.
| Footballguys view: That's about right for Swift on Wednesdays. He's playing with this groin injury and producing as the Bears' lead back. This week against the Bengals, we like Swift as an RB1/RB2 option for Fantasy GMs. |

Bears | Luther Burden in protocol Tue Oct 28, 02:18 AM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (concussion) is going through the concussion protocol.
| Footballguys view: Burden will have to work his way through the five-step protocol that calls for increased activity followed by daily testing to play against the Bengals in Week 9. If he isn't ready, Olamide Zaccheaus will continue to serve as the primary option behind starters Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. |

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (concussion) caught one pass for negative one yard against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8 before leaving the game because of a concussion.
| Footballguys view: Burden went to the locker room after Chicago's first drive of the third quarter, and after being evaluated, was ruled out for the rest of the game. The catch came on the rookie's lone target. Burden will have to clear the concussion protocol to play against the Bengals in Week 9. If he isn't ready, Olamide Zaccheaus will continue to serve as the primary option behind starters Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. |
Bears | Seven receptions for Olamide Zaccheaus Sun Oct 26, 06:14 PM

Bears | Colston Loveland posts 38 yards Sun Oct 26, 06:10 PM
Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland caught three passes for 38 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. He was targeted five times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Loveland wasn't a big hit for fantasy this week, but he wasn't a bust and he was able to post some solid gains with the offense in pass heavy mode. He is worth a look on the waiver wire this week if haven't been happy with your tight end production or need to cover Dallas Goedert/David Njoku/Harold Fannin Jr. during their byes next week. |
Bears | DJ Moore catches four passes Sun Oct 26, 06:03 PM
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore caught four passes for 73 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. He was targeted seven times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Caleb Williams had to throw 38 times in this game against a vulnerable pass defense, and Moore wasn't a hit in fantasy leagues. We're back to knowing that Moore is more talented than his production, but Moore still deserves a spot in the lineup as a WR3/Flex in a great matchup against the Bengals next week. |

Bears | Rome Odunze surpasses 100-yard mark Sun Oct 26, 05:59 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze caught seven passes for 114 yards against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. He was targeted 10 times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Odunze's fantasy value was in the doldrums coming into this game, as the Bears running game dominated the game plan in the last two games after they recalibrated during the bye. His value bounced back on a play from behind game script against a suspect Ravens defense, but Odunze's quarterback isn't stacking good games yet almost halfway into his first season under Ben Johnson. Odunze has a very high ceiling against the Bengals next week in spite of Williams' inconsistency. |
Bears | Kyle Monangai finishes with 24 yards Sun Oct 26, 05:49 PM
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai rushed for 24 yards on seven carries against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8.
| Footballguys view: Monangai was on the field for some red zone opportunities, but otherwise this game didn't offer him the kind of runway that the strong running game performances against the Saints and Commanders did in Weeks 6 and 7. Hold onto him as a viable flex play against the Bengals next week who also has a high ceiling if D'Andre Swift's injury report presence turns into missed time in the second half of the season. |
Bears | D'Andre Swift finds end zone Sun Oct 26, 05:44 PM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift rushed for 45 yards and one touchdown on 11 carries against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. He also caught two passes for 26 yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Swift scored during the futile comeback attempt in the second half to salvage a viable fantasy RB2 result on an afternoon that saw the red hot Bears running game get contained by a Ravens run defense that didn't look the same after the Lions humiliated them in prime time Week 3 action. A ceiling game should be back in play next week for Swift against the Bengals. |

Bears | Caleb Williams throws for 285 yards Sun Oct 26, 05:24 PM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams went 25-for-38 for 285 yards, zero touchdowns and one interception against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8. He also rushed for 24 yards on three carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Williams struggled under pressure and threw a bad interception that came while the Bears were fighting to stay in the game. The play from behind game script and surprising struggles to establish the run against what was a porous Ravens run defense going into their bye allowed Williams to throw enough to revive the values of Rome Odunze and DJ Moore, but Williams' value did not come back with theirs. If he can't have sustained success against a Bengals defense that just made Justin Fields look like a confident passer in Week 8, then we should be worried about Williams after Week 9. |

Bears | Coach happy with Colston Loveland Sat Oct 25, 03:06 PM
Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland has been 'impacting games in a very positive fashion,' according to head coach Ben Johnson. 'He's a reason why our offense is going to continue to get better,' Johnson said.
| Footballguys view: Loveland has upside, but so far he's just remembered as the tight end taken before Tyler Warren in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Bears TE Cole Kmet (back) will not play in Chicago's Week 8 game against the Ravens. That means Loveland is getting a good shot to produce. He's a TE2 with TE1 upside in Week 8 if he gets more looks and plays up to his potential. |

Bears | DJ Moore not on injury report Fri Oct 24, 02:54 PM
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore (hip) fully participated in practice Friday, Oct. 24, and is not on the injury report for Week 8.
| Footballguys view: After a DNP to start the week, Moore returned to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday and logged a full practice on Friday. That progression almost always signals a clean bill of health. Moore has dealt with a handful of injuries this year, but continues to power through them. Moore has taken a clear backseat to Rome Odunze this year. Still, we're ranking him as a WR3 this week in what should be a high-scoring matchup against the Ravens. |

Bears | D'Andre Swift listed as questionable Fri Oct 24, 02:47 PM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 24, and is listed as questionable for Week 8.
| Footballguys view: After speculation that Ben Johnson would split the backfield all offseason, it finally happened in Week 7. Whether that was due to injury or not is uncertain, but Kyle Monangai looked solid in his largest taste of NFL action. As the staff's confidence in Monangai grows, expect Swift's role to wane. However, the Bears' interior offensive line is starting to mesh. Rest between touches allows Swift to generate chunk plays. Assuming he's active this week, we're ranking Swift as a high-end RB2 and Monangai as a back-end RB3. |

Bears | Cole Kmet will not play Fri Oct 24, 02:39 PM
Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet (back) did not participate in practice Friday, Oct. 24, and has been ruled out for Week 8.
| Footballguys view: Colston Loveland had started taking over as the team's primary tight end coming out of the bye, besting Kmet in routes, targets, and receptions over the last couple of weeks. Kmet's absence could open the door for the rookie to carve out a larger role in this offense. Although he's a desperation start in fantasy leagues this week, he makes for an intriguing and cheap DFS play. |
