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.

During Friday’s joint practice with the Buffalo Bills, rookie WR Luther Burden III ran with the Bears second-team offense, according to Greg Braggs Jr. of CHGO Sports.

WR Olamide Zaccheaus led Washington in targets for the second straight game in Sunday night's win over the Falcons. He delivered 8 receptions for 85 yards and a TD on those 9 targets, plus a carry for 8 yards. TE Zach Ertz followed at 7 targets (6-72-2 receiving). WR Terry McLaurin managed just 1 catch on his 7 targets.

WR Olamide Zaccheaus nabbed a pair of TDs in Sunday's win over the Eagles, scoring from 4 yards and 49 yards out in the fourth quarter. He also led the Commanders in targets (8) and receiving yards (70), while tying WR Terry McLaurin for the team reception lead (5).

Commanders WR Noah Brown is "going to be out for a while," per HC Dan Quinn. In fact, Quinn mentioned the possibility of Brown going on season-ending IR while noting a "significant internal injury." The veteran was operating as Washington’s WR2, but now those snaps will go to Dyami Brown, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Luke McCaffrey. You shouldn’t count on any of those WRs for Week 15 fantasy production at New Orleans. Meanwhile, Terry McLaurin's outlook improves as a fantasy WR2.

Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. He ranked second among the team's WRs in routes each of the last two weeks. Brown's absence will mean more playing time for some combination of WRs Luke McCaffrey, Dyami Brown, and Olamide Zaccheaus. None is a legitimate Week 5 fantasy option.

The Commanders have agreed to trade WR Jahan Dotson to the Eagles. They're sending Dotson plus a fifth-round pick to their division rival for a third-round pick and two seventh-rounders -- all in the 2025 draft, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and other reports.

Commanders HC Dan Quinn suggested multiple times this past week that there's an ongoing competition for the team's No. 2 and No. 3 WR spots. After Saturday night's preseason game, Quinn said that it might wind up being a rotation with WRs Jahan Dotson, Dyami Brown, and Olamide Zaccheaus.

WR Jahan Dotson worked as the Commanders' primary slot man in the team's preseason opener against the Jets. He opened the game in the slot, with Terry McLaurin and Dyami Brown as the outside WRs. According to Pro Football Focus, Dotson matched McLaurin's and QB Jayden Daniels' 11 first-team snaps -- while Brown totaled just four. Dotson went on to play some with the second unit as well, though, after McLaurin and Daniels left. Dotson also remained in the slot when Olamide Zaccheaus replaced Brown for some three-WR sets with the first team. That's especially noteworthy, because Zaccheaus played 61% and 68% of his snaps in the slot the past two years (in Atlanta, then Philly).
