Team news: Chicago Bears

Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) is out again Sunday.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Luther Burden, Olimade Zaccheaus, Jahdae Walker

A separate report confirmed that Burden would be suiting up this weekend, but we'll see how big of a role he'll take on. He should be considered in the WR3 range, while Moore has seen enough of an uptick in usage that we can treat him as a fringe WR1/2.

Bears WRs Rome Odunze (Foot) and Luther Burden III (Ankle) both ruled out for Saturday vs. Packers.

The D.J. Moore glow-up should continue here in Week 16, as we should once again consider him a WR2 after what has been a mostly tumultuous season.

In addition, Loveland is definitely in the streaming conversation, with a great opportunity to finish as a top-10 option.

Luther Burden (ankle) and Rome Odunze (foot) would not have practiced. Burden was injured in last Sunday’s win over the Browns while Odunze aggravated an injury in pregame warmups.

Burden had a season-high six catches before his injury. The rookie has 36 catches for 479 yards and a touchdown on the season. Odunze has now missed the last two games, but still leads the team with 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns this year, the story said. The Bears and Packers are set to play on Saturday night this week so owners will want to monitor their statuses.

Bears coach Ben Johnson says Luther Burden's ankle is a 'day-by-day' situation.

As far as Rome Odunze, 'there may be a case we have to protect him from himself' so he can be a factor later on, per Ben Johnson.

Briggs added Burden's availability for Saturday night will remain a question until later in the week. Also a big question is Odunze, who is dealing with a foot injury. Moore was able to take some advantage of the situation and produced a 4-69-2 line against the Browns. Loveland was also a factor in the passing game, going 4-63-0. D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai totaled 29 rushes in the game last week. The Bears get the Packers in a Saturday night game in Week 16, however.

Bears WR Rome Odunze re-aggravated his foot injury and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Browns.

Odunze was initially ruled active for the game but likely had a late issue, causing the Bears to rule him out just before kickoff. If you still can, get him out of your lineup.

Burden's shown flashes over his rookie season, but he hasn't had much of an impact to fantasy box scores due to maxing out at a 50% snap share. He'll get a chance to prove himself here in a divisional battle and should be considered in the WR3 range with Moore.

Loveland could also push himself up to the fringe TE1/2 range.

Bears injury report...

DNP: T.J. Edwards, Josh Blackwell, Dominique Robinson, Joe Thuney (rest)

Limited: Kevin Byard, Roschon Johnson, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Full: Luther Burden, Cole Kmet, Kyle Monangai, D'Andre Swift, Amen Ogbongbemiga

The Bears will have quite the decision(s) on their hands if Swift and Kmet are available for Week 10.

Monangai has looked absolutely fantastic, while Loveland just had a game-winning, 58-yard touchdown reception. Chicago probably can't put the genie back in the bottle with Loveland, who should be considered a top-15 TE option, while both Swift and Monagai could both be low-end RB2 options if the veteran really is back to full health.

Bears RB D’Andre Swift was ruled out with a groin injury.

Hat tip to all the fantasy managers stashing Monangai; this is your week. There's really no reason to think the rookie won't get a very useful workload, as we've already seen his role growing since the team's Week 5 bye. Consider him an easy plug-and-play against a Bengals defense that ranks dead last in RB aFPA.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift was limited in today's practice with a groin injury after being a full participant yesterday in what was actually a walk-through and estimated participation. More info tomorrow on how he responds.

Could we actually get to see run out of Roschon Johnson in the year 2025? Seems possible but unlikely, as Monangai is the only other option that has seen semi-meaningful snaps in the Bears offense. The rookie will be an interesting RB3/4 option if Swift is forced out of Week 7.

Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore was hospitalized after Monday night’s game in Washington for what the team termed “precautionary medical attention,” but the news is good today.

Bears head coach Ben Johnson said today on ESPN 1000 that Moore is doing well.

“It was precautionary. I think we got some good news on that. He should be coming back today, here, and I think he’ll be day-to-day going forward. It was a groin deal that he was dealing with and I think we’re going to be OK,” Johnson said.

Moore's status will be up in the air for Week 8 until we get more information from the practice report. The Bears host the Saints in Week 7.
