Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III could be in line for more targets in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers, as WR Rome Odunze (foot, heel) has been ruled out.
Link to storyChicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (ankle) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 5, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Monangai is coming off a career game, as he and D'Andre Swift sliced through the Eagles' defense with ease. We still expect the workload to lean in Swift's favor, but Monangai makes a viable flex option, even with a tough matchup against the Packers. |
Chicago Bears DB Tyrique Stevenson (hip) and WR Rome Odunze (foot) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Week 14, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: It's being reported that Odunze has been playing through a stress fracture in his foot. With Odunze out, rookie Luther Burden should finally see an expanded role. Additionally, DJ Moore, Colston Loveland, and Cole Kmet all get slight bumps in the rankings. The Bears have a tough matchup against a stout Packers defense but are riding high after a big Black Friday win in Philadelphia. |
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) did not practice on Thursday, Dec. 4.
| Footballguys view: That's two DNPs for Odunze this week. That's not a great sign for his Week 14 availability. The Bears have a big one against the Packers this week, so having Odunze would help the passing game. Stay tune for Friday's report. |
Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday, Dec. 4.
| Footballguys view: This is a step in the right direction for the rookie running back. Monangai makes for a fine flex play as the Bears want to run the ball early and often. D'Andre Swift is the lead back, but Monangai can get plenty of touches to be fantasy relevant. |
Chicago Bears LB Ruben Hyppolite II (shoulder), WR Rome Odunze (foot), CB Tyrique Stevenson (hip) and OG Joe Thuney (non-injury) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 4. LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring, hand) and RB Kyle Monangai (ankle) were limited during practice. DT Andrew Billings (concussion), CB Jaylon Johnson (groin), DE Dominique Robinson (concussion) and LB Noah Sewell (elbow) fully participated in practice.

| Footballguys view: It's a big game for the Bears as they play the Packers on Sunday afternoon. If Monangai can't play, there would be an increased workload for D'Andre Swift. Let's see if the rookie back can practice later in the week. |

Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai (knee) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26.
| Footballguys view: Monangai continues to be a quality reserve runner for the Bears behind starting RB D'Andre Swift. From a fantasy perspective, Monangai is a deep flex option as the Bears play the Eagles on Friday. |

Link to storyChicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai, rushed 12 times for 48 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Monangai was more effective than D'Andre Swift for the first time this season, and he got more opportunities to touch the ball. This could be turning into a committee, with Monangai being the favorite for goal line carries because of his bruising mentality as an inside runner. He's a what-the-heck flex against the Eagles next week. |
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III caught three of five targets for 46 yards in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also had a carry for nine yards.
Link to storyChicago Bears WR Rome Odunze caught three of nine targets for 53 yards in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Odunze has been a textbook boom/bust fantasy receiver this season. The problem is that five of the last seven games have been busts. Rookies Luther Burden and Colston Loveland are coming on, but Odunze still has been leading the passing game in targets. It's reasonable to bench him for Week 13 against Philadelphia, and maybe not put him back in your lineup until he makes you regret not checking the box next to his name. |
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore had five receptions for 64 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Moore had been in the doldrums lately, but he rewarded fantasy teams that stuck with his stellar talent in an inefficient and spread out passing game. The matchup against the Eagles is tough in Week 13, but Moore earned a WR3/Flex spot with this showing. |

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 19-of-35 for 239 yards with three touchdowns without an interception in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also added 21 yards on four carries.
| Footballguys view: Williams was sacked by TJ Watt in the end zone and coughed up the ball for a touchdown, but Ben Johnson trusted him on fourth down in his own territory later in the first half, and Williams converted on a scramble that helped the offense calm down. It wasn't all pretty or nearly perfect for Williams, but the Steelers offense had many breakdowns in the secondary that made life easier for the second year quarterback. Williams isn't a good play against the Eagles on the road in Week 13, but this game gives you hope that he'll be useful in fantasy leagues with championships on the line against the 49ers in Week 17. |
