Fantasy Football News

Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Eagles. He didn't practice all week and should be considered iffy at best for Week 4. QB Tyson Bagent (concussion) is listed as questionable after a full practice on Saturday. If he avoids a setback between now and kickoff, he should get the start. Otherwise it'll be QB Case Keenum at the controls. Either way, it's tough to feel good about any Bears pass catchers in fantasy lineups against a stout Eagles secondary.

Bears QB Tyson Bagent has been cleared to practice Saturday, HC Ben Johnson said. It's a surprise after Bagent didn't practice at all yesterday. QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) remains sidelined on Saturday, putting Bagent on track to start Monday night's game vs. the Eagles, barring a setback. Consider that a slight upgrade from QB Case Keenum, but it's still a brutal spot for the backup QB vs. a tough Philly defense.

Bears QBs Caleb Williams (hamstring) and Tyson Bagent (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. Both guys are unlikely to play vs. the Eagles on Monday night. That'd leave Chicago down to third-string QB Case Keenum. The 38-year-old last played a regular-season snap in 2023 for the Texans. He averaged 5.5 yards per pass attempt with 1 TD and 3 INTs that year. None of the Bears catchers are reliable fantasy starts this week, particularly against a tough Eagles secondary.

Bears QB Tyson Bagent is dealing with a concussion and in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Caleb Williams will likely miss this week after his hamstring injury in Week 2, and now Bagent himself is in danger of missing Monday Night Football against the Eagles. That would put 38-year-old Case Keenum in line to start if Bagent does not clear the protocol.

Bears TE Colston Loveland continued his slow start with 1 catch for 3 yards against the Vikings. That’s his current season-long total (on 5 targets) through two games.

Bears WR Rome Odunze (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, so there’s elevated risk here. Check your Team Dashboard to see if Odunze belongs in your starting lineup.

Bears WR Rome Odunze (calf) is expected to play vs. the Panthers today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Odunze is listed as questionable after a limited week of practice but told the media on Friday that he'd play. The calf still adds some downside to Odunze's Week 1 profile, leaving him as a risk/reward WR3 in our rankings.

Bears WR Rome Odunze (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. He was limited in practice all week but told the media on Friday that he plans on playing. We’ll get Chicago’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Odunze will be a risk/reward WR3 if he suits up.

Bears WR Rome Odunze (calf) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He went down on September 3 with what we now know was a calf injury. The limited practice should have Odunze on track to play vs. the Panthers this weekend, but his status bears monitoring over the next few days.

Bears WR Rome Odunze is "day to day" with the injury he suffered on September 3 and won't practice on Tuesday, HC Ben Johnson said. Odunze is believed to be dealing with a right ankle injury unrelated to last year's foot trouble, but we'll get Chicago's first official injury report of the season on Wednesday.

Bears WR Rome Odunze "should be all good" after leaving Thursday's practice with what appeared to be a right leg issue, according to The Athletic's Dan Wiederer. The Chicago Tribune's Sean Hammond adds that Odunze "wasn’t overly concerned" and wanted to keep practicing before trainers pulled him from the field. This is notably the opposite side from the left foot fracture Odunze dealt with last season. We'll look for more updates on his status, but for now, we're not moving Odunze in the WR rankings.

Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports that “[Rome] Odunze came up hobbling during an install period at the start of practice.” The leg injury cost Odunze the rest of practice, though he initially tried to stay in before the training staff pulled him.

Bears WR Rome Odunze sparked concern in June when he talked about a "new normal" after injuring his left foot last season. But he clarified those comments at the start of camp and has shown no lingering effects on the practice field, according to The Athletic's Dan Wiederer. "After 15 camp practices, Odunze has 15 made positive deposits into his 2026 development bank," Wiederer writes. "And if there were any concerns that the foot injuries that limited him last season and eventually caused him to miss the final five regular-season games would linger, they have disintegrated."

Bears WR Luther Burden’s groin injury timeline stretched today, with the WR now expected to miss the entire preseason, about a month, after initial estimates suggested only “a little bit of time.” The good news is that ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the Bears still expect him back for the regular season.

A reporter asked Bears WR Rome Odunze on Thursday to clarify what he meant in his June quote talking about his "new normal" in the wake of last year's foot fracture. Here's what he had to say, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin ...

Bears WR Rome Odunze was hampered by a left foot injury for much of the 2025 season, ultimately missing the final five regular-season games. He returned for the playoffs and didn't have surgery this offseason. But Odunze admitted on Wednesday that the foot might never get back to where it was pre-injury. “This is my new normal,” Odunze said. “And it’s not from a standpoint that I’m always in pain, but the way my foot broke there’s callouses in there that, like, creates a different type of foot structure with those bones. Different types of things that kind of shift things around."

The Bills and Bears have agreed to a trade to send WR D.J. Moore to Buffalo. The Bears are getting a "mid-round pick" in return, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a much-needed boost to QB Josh Allen's weaponry -- and frees up opportunity for WRs Luther Burden and Rome Odunze and TE Colston Loveland in Chicago.

Update: The Bears are sending Moore and a 2026 fifth-round pick to Buffalo for a 2026 second-rounder.

Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Divisional Round game vs. the Rams. He was a full participant in Friday's practice and is on track to play. But this is a reminder that Odunze still isn't at 100%. He ran a route on 72% of pass plays in last weekend's win over the Packers, catching just two of six targets for 44 yards.
