Travis Homer Travis Homer Questionable but still on IR Fri, Oct 17, 2025, 2:14 PM Homer (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. Analysis: Homer remains on injured reserve, so Chicago would have to make an official move of adding him back to the active roster for Homer to be eligible to play Sunday. He logged three full practices during the week, so Homer may actually be healthier than lead back D'Andre Swift (groin), who is listed as questionable after being limited in practice Thursday and Friday.
D'Andre Swift D'Andre Swift Says he'll play Fri, Oct 17, 2025, 2:01 PM Swift (groin) is listed as questionable but told reporters Friday that he'll play against the Saints on Sunday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Swift also clarified that he suffered the groin injury during Sunday's 25-24 win over Washington. He was a limited practice participant Thursday and Friday, but he said it was a matter of maintenance rather than not being capable of doing more. For what it's worth, Swift previously played through questionable tags Week 3 (quad) and Week 4 (hip), taking 34 total touches over the two-game stretch. He hasn't missed a game due to injury since Week 7 of 2022, back when he was with the Lions (and missed multiple games in each of his first three NFL seasons).
D'Andre Swift D'Andre Swift Listed as questionable Fri, Oct 17, 2025, 1:50 PM Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints after a limited practice Friday. Analysis: The Bears added Swift to their injury report Thursday as a limited participant, with coach Ben Johnson telling reporters Friday that the running back's groin injury wasn't suffered during practice and isn't anything new. It thus sounds like Swift tweaked a preexisting injury, although this is the first time he's been listed with a groin issue in 2025 (he was listed with a quad injury for Week 3 and a hip injury for Week 4). Regardless of the specifics, Swift's fantasy managers should have a backup plan in case he's deemed inactive ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Rookie Kyle Monangai has been Chicago's No. 2 RB all season, but Roschon Johnson also should have a role if Swift doesn't play, and Travis Homer (knee) may soon be activated from injured reserve.
DJ Moore DJ Moore Good to go Fri, Oct 17, 2025, 1:42 PM Moore (hip/groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. Analysis: He started his week in the hospital but finished it as a full practice participant. Whatever the issue was after Monday's win over Washington, it apparently won't impact Moore's Week 7 availability. He should have his usual role, which has been plentiful in terms of snaps but far less fruitful for targets and production.
D'Andre Swift D'Andre Swift Groin injury isn't new Fri, Oct 17, 2025, 11:38 AM Bears coach Ben Johnson said Friday morning that Swift's groin injury isn't something new from practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: It sounds like Swift's addition to the injury report Thursday (as a limited participant) was a matter of maintenance rather than anything that might impact his Week 7 availability, but it's still worth keeping an eye on the situation unless he avoids a designation on the final injury report Friday afternoon.
DJ Moore DJ Moore Returns as limited Thursday Thu, Oct 16, 2025, 3:22 PM Moore (hip/groin) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday. Analysis: This is a notable development considering Moore was hospitalized following Monday's win at Washington for further medical evaluation. Coach Ben Johnson revealed the concern to be a groin injury Tuesday, and Moore then didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough due to listed hip and groin issues. In the end, Friday's practice report will unveil Moore's odds to suit up Sunday against the Saints.
D'Andre Swift D'Andre Swift Tending to groin issue Thu, Oct 16, 2025, 3:14 PM Swift was limited at Thursday's practice due to a groin injury. Analysis: Swift broke out with 175 yards from scrimmage and a receiving TD on 16 touches during Monday's 25-24 win at Washington. He wasn't listed on Wednesday's estimated injury report, but a groin issue has emerged since then for the Bears' No. 1 running back. Swift thus may need to practice in full Friday in order to avoid entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Travis Homer Travis Homer Logs full practice Wed, Oct 15, 2025, 8:11 PM Homer (calf) participated fully in Wednesday's walkthrough. Analysis: Homer practiced in full for the entire week leading up to Monday night's win over the Commanders, but he remained on injured reserve. It's unclear whether he'll be in line to return in Week 7 against the Saints, though his continued full practice participation is a positive sign.
DJ Moore DJ Moore DNP on Wednesday Wed, Oct 15, 2025, 6:48 PM Moore (hip/groin) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report. Analysis: During Monday's 25-24 win at Washington, Moore paid a visit to the sideline tent but played through whatever was bothering him, logging 60 of 64 offensive snaps (94 percent) and hauling in three of five targets for 42 yards and two carries for 10 yards. Afterward, he was admitted to a local hospital for a precautionary medical evaluation, and coach Ben Johnson relayed to Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network on Tuesday that Moore was dealing with a groin injury. The Bears listed hip and groin issues as the reasons for Moore's DNP at Wednesday's walkthrough, so his status bears watching in advance of Sunday's game against the Saints.
DJ Moore DJ Moore Managing groin injury Tue, Oct 14, 2025, 4:10 PM Bears head coach Ben Johnson said that Moore is nursing a groin injury but has returned to Chicago after being hospitalized in Washington, D.C. overnight following Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports. Analysis: The injury didn't cost Moore any extensive playing time Monday, with the wideout finishing the contest with three catches for 42 yards on five targets to go with two carries for 10 yards. The 28-year-old was nonetheless admitted to a local hospital after the game due to the injury, though he was held overnight merely for precautionary purposes. Johnson said that the Bears will continue to monitor Moore's status, but for now, the receiver still looks to have a chance at playing in Week 7 against the Saints.
Durham Smythe Durham Smythe Not involved in passing game in '25 Tue, Oct 14, 2025, 11:32 AM Smythe wasn't targeted while playing eight of the Bears' 64 snaps on offense in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders. Analysis: Smythe has yet to draw a target through five appearances on the season and will continue to be relegated to a limited role as a blocker on offense while fellow tight ends Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland are both available.
Devin Duvernay Devin Duvernay Remains limited to return role Tue, Oct 14, 2025, 11:30 AM Duvernay returned five kickoffs for 120 yards in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders. Analysis: Though Duvernay has been active for every game this season, his role has been contained exclusively to special teams. He has yet to log a snap on offense through five contests and is averaging 25.0 yards per kickoff return and 11.4 yards per punt return.
Roschon Johnson Roschon Johnson First rushing attempt of season Tue, Oct 14, 2025, 6:17 AM Johnson rushed once for six yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Commanders on Monday. Analysis: Though Johnson has now suited up four games this season, Monday marked the first time that he's touched the ball in 2025. His role is expected to be contained mostly to special teams while rookie Kyle Monangai serves as the Bears' No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift.
Cole Kmet Cole Kmet No impact in passing game Tue, Oct 14, 2025, 6:16 AM Kmet caught one of two targets for zero yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Commanders on Monday. Analysis: Kmet has 10 or fewer yards in two of his last three games with one game over 31 yards, leaving him as a fantasy depth tight end.
Colston Loveland Colston Loveland Limited role continues Tue, Oct 14, 2025, 6:13 AM Loveland caught two of three targets for 11 yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Commanders on Monday. Analysis: Loveland has five receptions this season, and limited usage keeps him a watch-list tight end until his usage increases.
Olamide Zaccheaus Olamide Zaccheaus Six targets in win Tue, Oct 14, 2025, 6:09 AM Zaccheaus caught two of six targets for 24 yards and rushed once for four yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Commanders on Monday. Analysis: Zaccheaus has drawn at least four targets in every game and has two games with at least 40 receiving yards this season. Though he continues to play ahead of rookie Luther Burden as the Bears' No. 3 receiver, Zaccheaus' fantasy utility remains mostly limited to deeper leagues.
Kyle Monangai Kyle Monangai Limited role in backfield Tue, Oct 14, 2025, 6:06 AM Monangai rushed five times for 19 yards and caught his lone target for 25 yards in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Commanders on Monday. Analysis: Monangai has fewer than 20 rushing yards in three straight contests, but he reached a season-high 25 receiving yards in Week 6, keeping him in a fantasy reserve role.
Luther Burden Luther Burden Solid effort on MNF Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 11:26 PM Burden finished with four receptions on as many targets for 51 yards in Monday's 25-24 win over Washington. Analysis: Burden bounced back nicely from the disappointing two-catch performance we saw prior to Chicago's Week 5 bye. The rookie slot receiver finished with more receiving yards than DJ Moore (42) and Rome Odunze (32) as QB Caleb Williams distributed the ball more evenly amongst his talented group of receivers Monday. Burden's production has fluctuated wildly on a week-to-week basis, making it hard to bank on the rookie's production against the Saints in Week 7.
DJ Moore DJ Moore Nets 52 yards in win Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 11:19 PM Moore brought in three of five targets for 42 yards while adding 10 rushing yards on two attempts in Monday's 25-24 win over Washington. Analysis: Moore finished in a tie with fellow starter Rome Odunze with both players recording five targets apiece in Monday's win. The former had the superior fantasy score when factoring in his work as a rusher. Moore has been a bit of a letdown in fantasy with his 19-215-1 receiving line across five starts. The 28-year-old is still providing enough of a floor for his managers to warrant starting against the Saints on Sunday.
Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Cools off out of the bye Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 11:07 PM Odunze finished with two receptions on five targets for 32 yards in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders. Analysis: Chicago's Week 5 bye didn't benefit Odunze, who saw the four-game scoring streak he started the season with end abruptly Monday. The 23-year-old finished fourth for the Bears in receiving as QB Caleb Williams spread the ball around evenly amongst his targets in the win. Odunze was providing WR1 production prior to Monday's dud, so managers should continue starting the wideout with confidence against the Saints on Sunday.
