Cole Kmet Cole Kmet Usage remains limited
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 8:41 PM
Kmet caught one pass for three yards on one target in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Kmet is coming off a season-high five catches for 45 yards last week, but he has 10 or fewer yards and two or fewer targets in five of his last six games, including one target Sunday. With Colston Loveland taking on the lead receiving tight end role, Kmet profiles as touchdown-dependent tight end depth. |

Durham Smythe Durham Smythe Second catch of season
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 8:38 PM
Smythe caught one pass for four yards on one target in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Smythe has been used primarily as a blocker this season and his firsts reception came in the last two games despite regular snap involvement. His low route volume and limited targets keep him off the fantasy radar outside of the deepest leagues. |

Olamide Zaccheaus Olamide Zaccheaus Minimal role in passing game
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 8:36 PM
Zaccheaus caught one pass for six yards on one target in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Zaccheaus has been held to five or fewer yards in three straight contests and saw only one target in Week 12. With Luther Burden now operating ahead of him in three-receiver sets, Zaccheaus' reduced usage leaves him as a deep-league depth option. |

Luther Burden Luther Burden Posts 46 yards in Week 12 win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 7:14 PM
Burden caught three of five targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Burden continues to work ahead of Olamide Zaccheaus as Chicago's WR3 behind Rome Odunze and DJ Moore, and Burden's five targets tied fellow rookie Colston Loveland for third on the team against Pittsburgh. However, as long as Odunze and Moore are healthy, it's difficult to get behind Burden as a fantasy starter when he's competing with the likes of Loveland, Cole Kmet, D'Andre Swift and Zaccheaus for opportunities. Burden has looked great on his limited chances this season and will square off with the Eagles this upcoming Friday. |

Colston Loveland Colston Loveland Ascent continues in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:49 PM
Loveland brought in four of five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Loveland finished second in receptions and third in receiving yards for the Bears on the afternoon, and he also recorded the third touchdown reception of his career on a 12-yard grab late in the first half. Loveland's production has started to enjoy some stability, as he's now posted at least 40 receiving yards in four straight contests. The talented tight end next takes aim at the talented Eagles defense in a Week 13 road matchup on Black Friday. |

D'Andre Swift D'Andre Swift Forgettable day in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:42 PM
Swift rushed eight times for 15 yards and brought in his only target for 14 yards in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: As his final rushing line indicates, Swift was absolutely stonewalled on the ground, and to make matters worse, he also lost a fumble in Steelers territory early in the second quarter. The turnover didn't lead to any Pittsburgh points, but backfield mate Kyle Monangai notably outpaced Swift in carries by four and also scored a rushing touchdown. Whether the developments signal a changing of the guard remains to be seen, but both backs have a tough matchup against Swift's former Eagles squad on the road on Black Friday. |

Kyle Monangai Kyle Monangai Records rush TD in win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 5:34 PM
Monangai rushed 12 times for 48 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Monangai's backfield mate D'Andre Swift gained just 15 yards on eight carries and also lost a fumble, leading to a bigger workload for the former. Monangai made good on the additional opportunity, recording a two-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter for his third consecutive game with a score. Monangai also encouragingly logged double-digit carries for the third time in four games, so he appears to have retained a serviceable role in the ground attack alongside Swift. |

Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Inefficient with nine targets
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 4:49 PM
Odunze brought in three of nine targets for 53 yards in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Odunze was second in receiving yards for the Bears on the afternoon, but his day could have been appreciably bigger with an uptick in efficiency. Nevertheless, the second-year wideout eclipsed 50 receiving yards for the third time in five games, all contests in which he's drawn at least nine targets. Odunze should be busy again in a Week 13 road matchup against the Eagles on Black Friday. |

DJ Moore DJ Moore Two-TD tally in high-scoring win
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 4:44 PM
Moore brought in five of seven targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: In what has been a rare instance this season, Moore outperformed fellow wideout Rome Odunze on the afternoon, leading the Bears in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second to his teammate in targets. Moore also was the only one of the two to get into the end zone, recording touchdowns of five and 25 yards in the first and third quarter, respectively. The veteran wideout hadn't scored since Week 3 prior to Sunday, and his performance snapped an ugly two-game funk where he'd recorded just one catch for 18 yards on seven targets. Moore and the Bears' air attack draw a tough Week 13 matchup on Black Friday, when they'll travel to face the defending champion Eagles. |

Caleb Williams Caleb Williams Leads Bears to another victory
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 4:38 PM
Williams completed 19 of 35 passes for 239 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding four rushes for 21 yards in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Williams wasn't at his most efficient, but he still put together a rewarding fantasy effort thanks to his trio of scoring tosses. The 2024 first overall pick connected with DJ Moore (five, 25 yards) and Colston Loveland (12 yards) for his touchdown passes, recording his fourth multi-TD effort through the air this season. There's no question head coach Ben Johnson's tutelage and scheme have both done plenty to advance Williams' game in the latter's sophomore NFL campaign, but he'll still head into a Week 13 road showdown against the Eagles on Black Friday completing just 59.2 percent of his passes through 11 games. |

Case Keenum Case Keenum Inactive for Week 12
Sun, Nov 23, 2025, 10:40 AM
Keenum (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Keenum has not logged a snap this season, and his closest opportunity for action has been as an emergency third quarterback. With Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent healthy, Keenum will continue to be inactive for the foreseeable future. |

Roschon Johnson Roschon Johnson Sent to IR
Sat, Nov 22, 2025, 4:37 PM
Johnson (thumb) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Johnson popped up on Wednesday's injury report with a thumb injury. He ended up missing all three practices during the week before being ruled out from playing Sunday against Pittsburgh. With Johnson's placement on IR, he'll now miss at least four games, making his earliest return date Dec. 20 versus Green Bay. The Bears signed Brittain Brown to their active roster from the practice squad Saturday to fill the No. 3 RB role in Johnson's stead. |

Roschon Johnson Roschon Johnson Missing Week 12
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 2:04 PM
Johnson (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
Analysis: The third-year pro from Texas didn't practice all week and is now in line to miss his fourth game of the season Sunday. Johnson has played a depth role in Chicago's backfield this season, rushing twice for 17 yards across seven appearances. While he's sidelined in Week 12, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are expected to handle the Bears' rushing duties. |

Travis Homer Travis Homer Won't play in Week 12
Fri, Nov 21, 2025, 2:01 PM
Homer (hamstring/knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
Analysis: The Miami product downgraded from limited practice Wednesday to a DNP on Friday, so it's no surprise that he won't play in the Week 12 matchup. Homer has appeared in five games this season, contributing primarily on special teams (six offensive snaps, 86 special-teams snaps). With Homer and Roschon Johnson (thumb) both out Sunday, D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai are currently the only healthy running backs on Chicago's active roster. |

Roschon Johnson Roschon Johnson Added to injury report
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 2:41 PM
Johnson (thumb) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: Johnson wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, an indication that he injured this thumb during Week 12 practices. Travis Homer (hamstring/knee) also missed practice Thursday, potentially leaving the Bears thin on backfield depth behind D'Andre Swift (hip) and Kyle Monangai heading into a home matchup against the Steelers on Sunday. |

Travis Homer Travis Homer Misses practice Thursday
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 2:39 PM
Homer (hamstring/knee) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: Homer was limited in practice Wednesday, but he's now taken a step in the wrong direction for Week 12. Roschon Johnson (thumb) also missed practice Thursday, though backfield leaders D'Andre Swift (hip) and Kyle Monangai were both full participants ahead of Sunday's home game against the Steelers. |

D'Andre Swift D'Andre Swift Practices fully Thursday
Thu, Nov 20, 2025, 2:33 PM
Swift (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Swift has been a regular on Bears injury reports dating back to Week 7, but he appears to be getting gradually healthier. After sitting out a Nov. 2 win over the Bengals and then having his reps managed more carefully prior to returning to the lineup for a Week 10 win over the Giants, Swift has now upgraded to full participation by the Bears' second practice for the second straight week. Swift looks to be good to go for Sunday's game against the Steelers, and he could be in line for a larger workload after he handily outperformed rookie Kyle Monangai out of the backfield in both of the past two games. Between those contests, Swift averaged 5.0 yards on 34 totes, while Monangai was limited to an average of 2.7 yards per carry on 19 rushing attempts. |

Travis Homer Travis Homer Dealing with hamstring issue
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 6:12 PM
Homer (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Homer got his first carry of the year in Week 11 at Minnesota, but he's now banged up to begin Chicago's new week of preparation. He'll have two more chances to upgrade to full participation at practice before the Bears release their last practice report of the week Friday. |
|
D'Andre Swift D'Andre Swift Limited Wednesday
Wed, Nov 19, 2025, 2:52 PM
Swift (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: Swift had a cap on his practice reps last Wednesday due to a hip injury before progressing to a full session one day later, so he again may be easing into this week of prep. He proceeded to pace the Bears backfield this past Sunday at Minnesota, earning a 57 percent snap share and turning 21 carries into 90 yards. Thursday's practice report will reveal whether or not he handled all on-field work. |

Olamide Zaccheaus Olamide Zaccheaus Plays just 10 offensive snaps
Mon, Nov 17, 2025, 4:50 PM
Zaccheaus wasn't targeted in the Bears' win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: Zaccheaus played a season-low 10 offensive snaps against Minnesota, as rookie Luther Burden matched his season-high with 33 snaps. It appears as if Burden has finally passed Zaccheaus on the depth chart for WR3 duties in Chicago alongside Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. Zaccheaus carries very minimal fantasy value while those three are healthy. |
