Jones (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 17.

  Bears | Limited practice for D'Andre Swift    Wed Sep 17, 04:12 PM

Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 17.

Footballguys view: It's early in the week, but keep an eye on this situation. Swift is the top back for the Bears right now, but rookie Kyle Monangai might start to get more work as the season goes on (especially if Swift is banged up).

  Bears | DJ Moore catches five passes    Sun Sep 14, 05:33 PM

Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore caught five passes for 46 yards against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. He was targeted six times during the game.

Footballguys view: Moore hasn't been a fantasy disaster through two weeks, but he's not returning the value on his draft cost, and he's not likely to with Rome Odunze emerging as the #1 receiver. Consider Moore an upside WR3/Flex play against the Cowboys next week.

  Bears | Two touchdowns for Rome Odunze    Sun Sep 14, 05:27 PM

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze caught seven passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. He was targeted 11 times during the game.

Footballguys view: Odunze emerged as the clear #1 receiver this week. He and Caleb Williams had much better chemistry in the downfield passing game than they had last year in a good sign for Odunze's value going forward. He'll be a high floor WR2 against the Cowboys next week.

  Bears | Eight touches for Kyle Monangai    Sun Sep 14, 05:23 PM

Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai rushed for 28 yards on seven carries against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. He also caught one pass for eight yards during the game.

Footballguys view: Monangai was the second back in even with Roschon Johnson active. The Bears running game has been anemic so far, but Ben Johnson isn't going to give up easily, and he has said that he trusts the seventh round pick. He's still worth rostering in deep leagues.

  Bears | D'Andre Swift picks up rushing TD    Sun Sep 14, 05:18 PM

Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift rushed for 63 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. He also caught three passes for six yards during the game.

Footballguys view: Swift's touchdown came when the game was already basically decided, but he did have an explosive run early in the game to show more signs of life. He's a high floor/low ceiling RB2/Flex against the Cowboys next week.

  Bears | Caleb Williams throws two TDs, one INT    Sun Sep 14, 05:05 PM

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams went 19-for-30 for 207 yards, two touchdowns and one interception against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. He also rushed for 27 yards on five carries during the game.

Footballguys view: Williams was a better passer than he was in Week 1, but he didn't add as much as a runner, and wasn't quite a fantasy QB1 this week. He'll face a Cowboys secondary that just gave up 450 yards to Russell Wilson - a career high - and should be a consideration as a Week 3 streamer.

  Bears | Week 2 injury report for Chicago    Fri Sep 12, 03:19 PM

Chicago Bears CB Kyler Gordon (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. WR Jahdae Walker (ankle) did not practice on Friday, Sept. 12, and is listed as doubtful. DL Grady Jarrett (knee) was limited in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable. CB Josh Blackwell (groin), LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring), CB Jaylon Johnson (calf, groin), RB Roschon Johnson (foot), and WR DJ Moore (abdomen, groin) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Footballguys view: The Bears secondary will miss Gordon against the Lions passing game after JJ McCarthy came alive in the fourth quarter to snatch a comeback victory against a Bears defense that shut him down for three quarters. Roschon Johnson has been nursing that foot injury for weeks. Head coach Ben Johnson said he wants to get seventh round pick Kyle Monangai more involved this week. Johnson could also get his number called this week as the Bears will look to run more early than they did last week.

  Bears | Rome Odunze targeted nine times    Tue Sep 9, 01:46 AM

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze had six receptions, 36 yards, and a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1. He was targeted a team-high nine times.

Footballguys view: While Odunze's nine targets led the team, CBSSports.com notes that DJ Moore (68) and Olamide Zaccheaus (42) both had more receiving yards on Monday. Still, Odunze, a 2024 first-round pick, is set up for a more consistent role in his second NFL season after he had three-plus catches in only nine of 17 games as a rookie. Up next for the Bears is a Week 2 trip to Detroit.

  Bears | D'Andre Swift racks up 20 touches    Tue Sep 9, 01:28 AM

Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift ran the ball 17 times for 53 yards versus the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1. He also caught three passes (on five targets) for 12 yards.

Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke noted, Swift averaged just 3.3 yards per carry, a modest start, but that's understandable behind a retooled offensive line and within a new scheme. Rookie Kyle Monangai saw limited work, and the Bears also mixed in some no-running-back sets, but Swift's snap rate mirrored his usage at the end of last season. Given his volume, Jahnke contends Swift remains a reliable weekly fantasy starter.

  Bears | Uneven showing for Caleb Williams    Tue Sep 9, 01:16 AM

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 21 of his 35 pass attempts for 211 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in a Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Williams also led the team with 58 yards and a touchdown on six rushes.

Footballguys view: Williams started Monday's loss with 10 straight completions for 86 yards before the offense sputtered. ESPN.com's Courtney Cronin explained that Ben Johnson can design a script that gets multiple players involved and helps his team start fast, but Chicago couldn't build a commanding lead. Part of that has to do with a lack of run support and Williams reverting to old habits, like scrambling and trying to make a big play downfield instead of taking easy completions. Johnson must find ways to scheme around those weaknesses when he faces his former team, the Lions, in Week 2.

Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (hamstring) fully participated in practice Saturday, Sept. 6, and is not on the injury report for Week 1.

Footballguys view: Monangai might be the primary backup to D'Andre Swift on Monday night. We love the rookie's skill set, and he's a Matt Waldman favorite, so it will be fun to see what he can do if/when he gets touches in Week 1.

  Bears | Bar set high for Caleb Williams    Mon Sep 1, 10:29 AM

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams wants to be a top-5 quarterback in the NFL, and head coach Ben Johnson is coaching him that way. 'The standard has been set, the bar has been set high,' Johnson said Sunday, Aug. 31. 'He has said he wants to not just be one of the best Top 5 quarterbacks in this league, but he wants to have a legacy that lasts for a long time. So, we're coaching him that way.'

Footballguys view: Fantasy managers have seen Williams produce at a high level. While he struggled under offensive coordinator Shane Waldron early last year, once Waldron was fired after Week 10, we got an immediate bump with Thomas Brown calling plays from Weeks 11 to 13. Williams was QB4 over that span, averaging 22.4 points per game. In Weeks 12 and 13 alone, he was QB3, putting up 25.5 per game. Williams finished the summer with a QB14 ADP right now, just behind his QB12 projection at Footballguys. The upside is there, but Williams still has plenty to prove on the field.
