Durham Smythe Durham Smythe Blocking role holds steady Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 6:31 AM Smythe caught one pass for two yards on one target in the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Analysis: Smythe has three receptions this season, all coming over his last four contests and totaling 14 yards. His primary usage as a blocker and third tight-end role keep him as a non-factor in fantasy lineups.
Devin Duvernay Devin Duvernay Minimal offensive contribution Mon, Dec 8, 2025, 6:31 AM Duvernay caught one pass for 24 yards on one target in the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Analysis: Duvernay recorded his second catch of the season and his first since Week 8 while continuing to work primarily on kick returns. His one target in Week 14 keeps him off the fantasy radar outside of formats that reward return production.
Cole Kmet Cole Kmet Two receptions in loss Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 10:42 PM Kmet caught two of three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers. Analysis: Kmet was able to reel in multiple passes for the second straight game and third time in the last four contests overall. His 42 receiving yards were second on the team behind Luther Burden (67) while fellow tight end Colston Loveland posted a 4-29-1 line. Kmet will look to build off of his recent momentum when the team hosts the Browns in Week 15.
Kyle Monangai Kyle Monangai Handles 14 carries Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 10:42 PM Monangai rushed the ball 14 times for 57 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers. He added one reception on two targets for zero yards. Analysis: Monangai worked as the traditional lead back for Chicago during the first half, though his touches ultimately evened out with D'Andre Swift throughout the final two quarters. Monangai couldn't find much rushing room in the tough matchup, logging a long gain of only nine yards while averaging 4.1 yards per carry. While it wasn't his best showing, Monangai has clearly established a role in the Chicago offense, having logged at least 12 carries in four consecutive contests.
D'Andre Swift D'Andre Swift Manages 82 yards in tough matchup Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 10:29 PM Swift rushed the ball 13 times for 63 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers. He added three receptions on four targets for 19 yards. Analysis: Swift was stuck in a secondary role to Kyle Monangai in the first half, but he ended up with one more touch than the rookie. Swift didn't have any explosive plays -- his longest gain came on a 10-yard catch -- though he helped keep the Chicago offense on schedule while averaging 4.8 yards per carry. Despite slipping into a clear backfield split with Monangai, Swift has at least 80 yards from scrimmage in four of his last five games and will remain a key contributor in the Chicago offense.
Caleb Williams Caleb Williams Throws key pick in loss Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 10:01 PM Williams completed 19 of 35 passes for 186 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers. He added four rushes for 15 yards. Analysis: The Bears had an abysmal first half, managing only 71 net yards on 28 offensive plays. Williams predictably played a significant role in that showing, as he had only 32 yards on 14 pass attempts. However, he rebounded for a decent effort in the second half, recording three completions of at least 20 yards while also tallying a pair of one-yard passing scores. That was enough for Williams to turn in a passable fantasy performance --particularly given the tough matchup -- but he ended the Bears' rally in the final minutes of the game with an interception in the end zone. Overall, Williams managed only his third multi-touchdown showing in his last six games, and he's also reached 200 passing yards in only half of those six matchups.
Olamide Zaccheaus Olamide Zaccheaus Boosts quiet day with TD Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 8:39 PM Zaccheaus caught two of three targets for seven yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 14 loss to Green Bay. Analysis: Heading into Sunday, it appeared Zaccheaus could play a larger role with Rome Odunze (foot) sidlined, but it was instead Luther Burden who logged a moderate bump in attention and production with a 4-67-0 line on a team-high six targets. With that said, Zaccheaus avoided a near-invisible fantasy score with a touchdown grab from one yard out in the third quarter. Zaccheaus hasn't made more than two catches in a game since Week 9, so he'll remain a very risky fantasy play in Week 15 against Cleveland, especially if Odunze is able to return to action.
Colston Loveland Colston Loveland Hauls in late touchdown Sun, Dec 7, 2025, 7:38 PM Loveland caught four passes on five targets for 29 yards and a touchdown during the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Analysis: Loveland didn't see his first target until the final minute of the second quarter, when he hauled in an 11-yard pass from Caleb Williams. Loveland was more active in the second half, and he helped tie things up at 21-21 with a one-yard touchdown pass from Williams. Loveland finished second on the Bears in targets behind Luther Burden (six), and the rookie tight end has recorded four catches or more in four of his last six games. The Michigan tight end has a 35-435-4 line on 49 targets through 12 regular-season games.
Olamide Zaccheaus Olamide Zaccheaus Could have bigger role Week 14 Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 9:04 PM Zaccheaus may be in line for more targets Sunday versus Green Bay with Rome Odunze (foot) ruled out, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: Zaccheaus began the season promisingly with four catches for 42 yards against Minnesota in Week 1, but he's surpassed that yardage total just once since. Over his past four games, he's been almost entirely a non-factor with just four total catches (on eight targets) for 30 yards. However, Odunze's absence should open up more opportunities for multiple Bears pass catchers, including wideouts Zaccheaus, Luther Burden and DJ Moore as well as tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet. With that being said, the Packers rank in the top half league-wide in most categories versus wide receivers, so Chicago's struggling passing game could be challenged to produce.
Luther Burden Luther Burden More targets coming sans Odunze? Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 4:14 PM Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus are candidates to take on more snaps and targets in the absence of Rome Odunze (foot) this Sunday at Green Bay, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Analysis: It's a tough matchup, on the road in cold weather, but Odunze's absence opens up a lot of playing time and targets for some talented players in ancillary roles. Burden is among those, having recently replaced Zaccheaus as the No. 3 receiver, but the Bears also may lean more heavily on any of WR DJ Moore, RB D'Andre Swift, TE Colston Loveland or TE Cole Kmet to take on larger receiving roles in Odunze's absence.
Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Considered week-to-week Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 4:10 PM Odunze, who was ruled out for Sunday's game against Green Bay, has been playing with a stress fracture in his foot and is considered week-to-week, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Analysis: The report suggests Odunze should return at some point in December, with the expectation being that rest will help (he didn't practice at all this week) .The stress fracture helps explain his drastic downturn in production after a fast start to the season, though other factors contributed there as well. In Odunze's absence, the Bears figure to deploy DJ Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus as their top three WRs against the Packers.
Kyle Monangai Kyle Monangai Cleared from injury report Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 1:49 PM Monangai (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay. Analysis: Monangai made it back to full participation Friday after missing Wednesday's practice and being limited Thursday. He should be fine for his usual role as the 1B to D'Andre Swift's 1A, but a matchup with the Packers could make it difficult to pile up rushing volume the way the Bears did in some of their recent games.
Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Ruled out for Sunday Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 1:21 PM Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Green Bay. Analysis: There was no clear sign of trouble during last week's 24-15 win over the Eagles, in which Odunze handled an 80 percent snap share and 87 percent route share but finished with just two catches for eight yards on six targets. He likely was injured at some point during that game, as he hasn't practiced since and will now miss a contest for the first time in his NFL career. Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus figure to get more playing time in Odunze's absence, with DJ Moore, Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet also among the potential beneficiaries in terms of target volume.
Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Looking shaky for Sunday Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 11:43 AM Bears head coach Ben Johnson didn't sound confident about Odunze (foot) playing in Sunday's game at Green Bay, according to Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com. Analysis: Emma reports that Johnson was more optimistic about LB T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring) than Odunze, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. Odunze was listed with heel and ankle injuries earlier this season, but he hasn't missed a game in his young NFL career.
Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Another DNP on Thursday Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 2:10 PM Odunze (foot) didn't take part in Thursday's practice. Analysis: Odunze now hasn't managed any on-field work at the midpoint of Week 14 prep, allowing him only one more opportunity to mix into drills before the Bears potentially make a ruling on his status for Sunday's game at Green Bay. If Odunze is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, DJ Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus would be the main options to see work in three-wide formations.
Kyle Monangai Kyle Monangai Logs limited practice Thursday Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 2:06 PM Monangai (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday. Analysis: One day removed from logging no on-field work due to an ankle injury Wednesday, Monangai was back in the mix, which generally is a positive sign as the Bears prepare for Sunday's visit to the Packers. Friday's practice report will unveil if he enters the weekend with a designation for Week 14 action, but if he's able to suit up, he likely will continue to see regular work out of Chicago's backfield along with D'Andre Swift, which resulted in both players surpassing 120 rushing yards and scoring one TD last Friday at Philadelphia.
Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Listed DNP due to foot injury Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 3:11 PM Odunze was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report due to a foot injury. Analysis: Odunze has operated with practice restrictions or sat out drills entirely this season due to ankle and heel injuries, so this appears to be a new health concern for the second-year wide receiver. His status will be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his availability, or lack thereof, as the Bears prepare for Sunday's visit to Green Bay. DJ Moore, Luther Burden, Olamide Zaccheaus, Devin Duvernay and Jahdae Walker are the healthy options at the position on the active roster.
Kyle Monangai Kyle Monangai Listed as DNP on Wednesday Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 3:06 PM Monangai was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate due to an ankle injury. Analysis: Monangai was listed with an ankle injury ahead of the Bears' Week 10 matchup against the Giants, but his listed lack of activity to begin Week 14 prep is somewhat worrisome as the team prepares for Sunday's road showdown with the Packers. His status thus will be monitored closely as the week continues to see if he practices Thursday and/or Friday, after which the Bears may tag him with a designation. D'Andre Swift would take on most of the backfield reps this weekend if Monangai is inhibited or sidelined.
Olamide Zaccheaus Olamide Zaccheaus Continues limited role Sat, Nov 29, 2025, 9:43 AM Zaccheaus caught two of three targets for 19 yards in the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday. Analysis: After posting at least 30 yards in each of the Bears' first nine games, Zaccheaus was passed on the depth chart by Luther Burden in Week 11. Over those last three games, Zaccheaus is averaging 19 offensive snaps, one reception and 8.3 yards. Unless the veteran sees an increase in opportunity, his fantasy value will remain limited.
Colston Loveland Colston Loveland Sees six targets in Week 13 win Fri, Nov 28, 2025, 6:42 PM Loveland caught three of six targets for 28 yards during Chicago's 24-15 win over Philadelphia on Friday. Analysis: Loveland caught a crucial seven-yard pass from Caleb Williams on a fourth-down play late in the third quarter, which extended the Bears' drive and led to a four-yard touchdown run from Kyle Monangai five plays later. Loveland finished tied with Luther Burden and Rome Odunze for the team lead in targets Friday, and Loveland has seen at least five targets from Williams in four of the Bears' last six games. Loveland's role in head coach Ben Johnson's offense has increased since the Bears' Week 5 bye, and the rookie tight end will look to stay productive Week 14 against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 7.
