Bears ruled out WR Rome Odunze for Sunday’s game at Green Bay due to a foot injury.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Luther Burden, Colston Loveland

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.

Bills DE Joey Bosa and LB Terrel Bernard are OUT vs. Bengals. WR Josh Palmer DOUBTFUL.

TE Dalton Kincaid (knee/hammy) & RT Spencer Brown (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE. HC Sean McDermott says he needs to see both guys be “functional” to play.

LT Dion Dawkins (concussion) good to go

Related Players: Dawson Knox, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Gabe Davis, Brandin Cooks

Even if Kincaid misses, we've seen a sharp decline in usage for Knox as a pass-catcher, so he's off the Week 14 streaming radar.

Whether or not Palmer plays, the only wide receiver we can trust is Shakir, who should be valued in the WR3 range.

Not trending well for Kincaid to return this weekend, but Knox can still be left on waiver wires.

Shakir remains the only reliable option in the passing attack, and should be considered on the WR2/3 fringe in a good matchup against the Steelers' secondary.

It didn’t take veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks long to find his new team.

The Bills announced today that they have signed Cooks, a day after he cleared waivers.

Cooks negotiated with the Saints to gain his release, and the Bills were one of three teams people around the league identified as his potential destination (the Rams and Broncos were the other two), the story went on to say. The Bills are hoping the signing of Cook can give QB Josh Allen some needed help at the WR position as we head down the stretch of the regular season. While roster spots are tough to come by, Cooks could have some fantasy value eventually, and could be worth a stash, especially in deeper leagues.

Bills WR Keon Coleman is, once again, officially inactive for tonight's game against the Texans.

Coleman, who is, for all intents and purposes an NFL player, will hang out on the sideline for the second week in a row. This sets up well for a big Shakir game, but so did last week, and he turned three targets into -3 yards. It's fine to go back to the well here if you consider him in the fringe WR3/4 range, but it would be hard to trust anyone behind him. Knox is somewhere in the TE20 range with Dalton Kincaid out.

Bills announced they have ruled out TE Dalton Kincaid, WR Curtis Samuel and WR Mecole Hardman Jr. for Thursday night’s game vs. Houston.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said on WGR-AM that TE Dalton Kincaid and DT Phidarian Mathis are OUT vs. the Buccaneers.

WR Khalil Shakir is "heading in the right direction and should be in a good spot for the game." That's a bit of a surprise.

Related Players: Dawson Knox, Jackson Hawes, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore, Curtis Samuel

This puts Knox in deep-league streaming territory, but there should be some more readily available options on the waiver wire.

As for the WR room, it would be tough to say who would absorb a lot of the underneath work if Shakir were to miss. It's not exactly Coleman's specialty, but we could see him performing as a WR3 with a couple extra targets.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid is considered week-to-week with a hamstring injury suffered Sunday vs the Dolphins.

Related players: Dawson Knox

Kinkaid was seen grabbing his hamstring before leaving the game for good against the Dolphins. The week to week tag probably isn't a good sign for his availability for Week 11, but we'll have to wait and see for the injury report later this week. If Kinkaid can't go, Knox would fill in. Kincaid has 29 catches for 448 yards and a team-high 4 TDs this season.

Bills RB James Cook is good to go Sunday vs. Dolphins.

Buffalo ruled out DL AJ Epenesa and LB Shaq Thompson.

DT Daquan Jones, WR Josh Palmer + CBs Taron Johnson & Christian Benford are questionable.

Related Players: Ray Davis, Ty Johnson

Cook is cleared ahead of a fantastic matchup, putting him right back into RB1 consideration.

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

Related Players: Kyle Monangai, Colston Loveland

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.
