That's enough to potentially impact play calling (i.e. more running) and passing efficiency. The game's total has dropped from 47 to 45.5. We've docked the projections on both passing games and would stay away from the kickers in this game. See the updated rankings.

Bears TE Cole Kmet (concussion) is not listed on the final injury report and will play vs. the Giants this weekend. Kmet isn’t a fantasy option, but his presence dings TE Colston Loveland’s playing-time projection. The rookie remains a viable TE1, though, after his huge Week 9.

Bears TE Cole Kmet (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He's on track to be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Giants.

Bears TE Cole Kmet (back) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That should have him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. In that case, neither Kmet nor TE Colston Loveland would be a reliable fantasy play, despite the plus matchup against the league's worst TE defense.

Bears TE Colston Loveland (hip) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Raiders. The rookie got in a limited practice on Friday and gets a Week 5 bye, so we’re expecting him back for Week 6.
