Bears WR D.J. Moore is active for tonight’s game vs. the 49ers; WR Olamide Zaccheaus is inactive. Both guys were added to the injury report this morning with illnesses. It adds some risk to Moore’s fantasy outlook. (We saw Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan catch just one ball after being added to the injury report with an illness this morning.)

The Bears have added WR D.J. Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus to the injury report as questionable for tonight's game against the 49ers because of an illness. Players typically play through illnesses, so we're not taking them out of the Week 17 rankings. But make sure you have an insurance option available if you're planning to start Moore. If he's out, Burden and TE Colston Loveland would get target boosts. We'll get their statuses around 7 p.m. ET.

The Bears entered a crucial Week 16 rematch with the Packers down two of their top three WRs and needed D.J. Moore to step up. Moore did dramatically, catching a 46-yard TD in overtime as the Bears extended their lead in the tight NFC North race. Moore set a new season-high with 97 receiving yards and tied his best mark with 7 targets.

Bears WRs Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) are out for Saturday's game vs. the Packers. Neither guy practiced all week. That strips QB Caleb Williams of two of his top targets and leaves D.J. Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus as Chicago's top two WRs. TE Colston Loveland is also a candidate for more work in the passing game. We've had Odunze and Burden projected out all week, so there are no changes to the Week 16 rankings.

Bears HC Ben Johnson labeled WR Luther Burden "day to day" with the ankle injury that knocked him out of the Week 15 win over the Browns. "Still something that we’re working through and talking about," Johnson added. "We’ll see how this week goes, in terms of whether we’ll have him Saturday night." It at least sounds like Burden dodged a serious injury, but consider him iffy for Saturday night's game against the Packers. With WR Rome Odunze likely to miss that one with his foot injury, Chicago could be down to WRs D.J. Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus. We'd expect TE Colston Loveland's role to expand in that case.

One week after an abysmal 0.6-point performance, D.J. Moore took advantage of the unexpected absence of Rome Odunze to 4-of-5 targets for 69 yards and 2 TDs in Chicago's 31-3 win over the Browns. Moore's performance came after consecutive duds, during which he caught 3 balls for 13 total yards in Weeks 13-14. Those two games followed a Week 12 5/64/2 showing, highlighting Moore's erratic week-to-week consistency that have made him one of the most frustrating players of the seaosn.

Bears WR Rome Odunze has been playing through a stress fracture in his foot, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. It's unclear when Odunze suffered the injury. He was on the injury report with a heel as far back as Week 9, but this week is the first time he's been listed with a foot. Pelissero adds that Odunze "just needs rest and is week-to-week. The belief is it’s nothing long term and he’ll be back soon." We'll keep you updated on Odunze's health going forward, but he seems more likely than not to miss multiple games with this injury. His absence leaves behind 7.5 targets per game, boosting the fantasy outlooks on WRs Luther Burden, D.J. Moore, and Olamide Zaccheaus and TE Colston Loveland.

Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. We don’t have any details on this foot injury, but Odunze didn’t practice all week, so this could turn into a multi-game absence. D.J. Moore, Luther Burden, and Olamide Zaccheaus will operate as Chicago’s top three WRs against Green Bay’s 17th-ranked WR defense. TE Colston Loveland could also get more involved.

Rookie WR Luther Burden III made a team-high 4 receptions on a modest passing day for the Bears against Philadelphia. He tied WR Rome Odunze and TE Colston Loveland for the team lead with six targets and took his 4 catches for 33 yards. Loveland and TE Cole Kmet were the only other Bears to catch more than two balls.

The Chicago Bears scored 31 points on offense against the Pittsburgh Steelers with three rookies overtaking the veterans in front of them. RB Kyle Monangai went 12-48-1 on the ground outperforming D’Andre Swift who only went 8-15-0. TE Colston Loveland went 4-49-1 compared to Cole Kmet’s 1-3-0. Finally, WR Luther Burden III surpassed Olamide Zaccheaus again this week with Burden going 3-46-0 on 5 targets while Zaccheaus caught his lone target for 6 yards.

Sunday might have finally brought the change we've been waiting for in the Chicago offense, even if it wasn't obvious in the receiving numbers. Rookie WR Luther Burden supplied an uneventful 3 receptions for 27 yards among five targets. But that tied him for second on the team in targets and catches for the game. And Burden finished well ahead of Olamide Zaccheaus in usage for the first time all season.

The forecast for today's Giants-Bears game calls for sustained winds around 20 mph with gusts up near 30 mph. 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 WR Luther Burden (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he'll play vs. the Giants this weekend. Burden isn't a fantasy option, but his return dents WR Olamide Zaccheaus' value.

Bears WRs Rome Odunze (heel), D.J. Moore (hip, groin), and Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) are off the final Week 9 injury report. They'll be the clear top three WRs vs. the Bengals this weekend, with WR Luther Burden (concussion) ruled out.

Bears WRs Rome Odunze (heel), D.J. Moore (hip, groin), and Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) all returned to limited practices on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. That should have them on track to play vs. the Bengals this weekend. WR Luther Burden (concussion) remained sidelined on Thursday and is tracking to miss Week 9.

Bears WRs Rome Odunze (heel), D.J. Moore (hip, groin), Olamide Zaccheaus (knee), and Luther Burden (concussion) all missed Wednesday's practice. Burden is unlikely to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Bengals. We don't have any other info on Odunze, who seemed to make it out of last week's loss to the Ravens okay. Moore has been playing through these injuries for multiple weeks now. HC Ben Johnson labeled Zaccheaus "day to day" earlier this week. We'll see if these guys are able to get back on the practice field tomorrow.

Second-year WR Rome Odunze had his second 100-yard performance of the season, but Chicago's 4-game winning streak came to an end with a 30-16 loss in Baltimore. Odunze led the Bears with 10 targets, also the second time this season he has earned double-digit looks. His 7 receptions and 114 receiving yards against the Ravens led the team.

WR Luther Burden led the Bears with 4 receptions in Monday night's win over the Commanders. He caught all four of his targets for 51 yards, led by a 37-yard deep ball. WR Olamide Zaccheaus led the team with six targets in a contest that found QB Caleb Williams spreading around his 29 pass attempts. Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore tied for second with five targets. Two other Bears followed Burden with three targets apiece. Despite the reception lead, however, the rookie saw no role growth coming out of the bye.

Bears rookie WR Luther Burden announced himself with 101 yards and a TD on 3 receptions in Sunday's win over the Cowboys. He led Chicago in receiving yards and tied for second on the team in catches. But he's not yet ready to be considered for your fantasy lineup in most cases.

Bears WR Rome Odunze racked up a 7-128-2 receiving line in Sunday's loss to the Lions. His 11 targets beat his nearest teammate by five. Odunze also accounted for 54.7% of the team's receiving yards and caught the only two TD passes. D.J. Moore ranked second on team in targets (6), receptions (5), and receiving yards (46). Olamide Zaccheaus finished second with five targets but managed just 2 catches. D'Andre Swift was the only other Bear to reach 3 receptions.
