Link to storyThe Chicago Bears are hopeful that WR Rome Odunze (foot) will be able to play in Week 15's game versus the Cleveland Browns, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: Odunze has been limited in practice all week. He had to miss Week 14, but it seems like he's trending to play on Sunday. If Odunze is out there, Fantasy GMs should consider him a deep flex play. |
Chicago Bears CB Kyler Gordon (groin) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 12, and has been ruled out for Week 15. RB Travis Homer (ankle) was limited during practice but has been ruled out. WR Rome Odunze (foot) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable.

Chicago Bears WR Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is not on the injury report for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Zaccheaus saw a huge target share early in the year but has steadily lost involvement as rookies Luther Burden and Colston Loveland have gotten more opportunities. With Rome Odunze out last week, Zaccheaus did find the end zone on one of his three targets. He's still an extremely risky play, especially with sub-zero temperatures forecast for Chicago. |

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: After a blistering start to the year, Odunze has been quiet since the Bears' Week 5 bye. He's reportedly dealing with a stress fracture in his foot, which kept him out of last week's game. Since the bye, he's been a per-game WR54, making him a risky flex even if active. The best-case scenario? Fantasy managers can afford to bench Odunze this weekend while hoping he shows enough to inspire confidence for Week 16. |
Chicago Bears WR Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 11.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 11.
| Footballguys view: Odunze is limited both days so far this week in practice. He's got flex appeal for Fantasy GMs in Week 15. The Bears want to run the ball early and often, but when they go through the air Odunze will be involved. |
Chicago Bears DB Kyler Gordon (groin) and RB Travis Homer (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, Dec. 11. WR Rome Odunze (foot), DB Tyrique Stevenson (hip), and WR Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) were limited in practice on Thursday.

| Footballguys view: Odunze didn't practice last week and missed Week 14. A limited practice to begin this week is a good sign. Check back on Friday. |

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 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.

| 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. |
