Team news: Chicago Bears | Page 5

Bears are giving former Chargers TE Gerald Everett a 2-year, $12 million base value deal with a max value up to $14 million that includes $6.1 million Fully Guaranteed.

This signing absolutely muddies the water for Kmet's fantasy outlook, but is a great addition for their eventual rookie quarterback and the offense as a whole. With the influx of talent at the tight end position, there's no reason to target Everett or Kmet in typical 1TE redraft leagues this summer, though either one should remain on best ball radars.

The Bears have agreed to terms with RB D’Andre Swift on a three-year, $24 million deal.

After a career year with the Eagles, Swift heads to Chicago to be a big piece in Shane Waldron’s offense.

With D'Onta Foreman set to hit the market, Chicago brings in Swift to compete for touches with two home-grown talents; Herbert and Johnson. Swift should take over the lead-back role, but there will still be plenty of sharing going on, which impacts each of their fantasy outlooks. Swift will have a capped-upside as an RB2.

Bears practice report:

DNP: Darnell Mooney, Cole Kmet
Limited: Lucas Patrick
Full: Teven Jenkins, Noah Sewell, Equanimeous St. Brown

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Byron Pringle, Dante Pettis, Robert Tonyan

Justin Fields' legs yet again saved a mediocre passing game last week, and it looks like he may have to do without some of his best weapons yet again. D.J. Moore should be peppered with targets upon his return, which will make him a safe WR2 for Championship Week.

Day 2 of C.J. Stroud back at it after concussion. Texans quarterback progressing through NFL concussion protocol final stages.

Related Players: Case Keenum

Things are looking good for the healthy Texans skill position players, as well as Stroud suiting up as a top-10 fantasy option for the Fantasy Championships.

Potential good news for the Texans: QB C.J. Stroud, in the NFL's concussion protocol, is expected to practice today. Coach DeMeco Ryans told Stacey Dales on Sunday that Stroud had been in meetings on Friday. "He's definitely making progress." This would be more progress.

This would be fantastic news for Texans skill position players and would also put Stroud back on the map as a top-12 option. We'll keep an eye on his progress throughout the rest of the week.

Texans QB C.J. Stroud is not yet back at practice for Houston, a bad sign for his availability this week. Stroud is still in the concussion protocol.

Related Players: Case Keenum

Keenum led the Texans to a win to keep them in the playoff hunt, but that didn't do much for us in fantasy, as he only notched 11.3 points. He gets a tough matchup against the Browns this week, and should be off fantasy radars, even in the deepest leagues.

Schefter's post went on to say Stroud is likely to miss a second-straight game this coming Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. It's a tough break for fantasy owners who have rode Stroud to the playoffs this season. While it was Mills who backed up Stroud most of the season, Keenum got the start last week and one would think he gets the call again in Week 16 if Stroud is out. It could be a tough go against the good Browns defense.

C.J. Stroud missed Sunday’s overtime win over the Titans on Sunday after being concussed in Houston’s Week 14 loss to the Jets and head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday that Stroud remains in the concussion protocol. Wednesday’s practice will be the next milestone in his path back to the lineup.

Despite Davis Mills serving as the No. 2 quarterback all season, Case Keenum got the start against Tennessee. He was 23-of-36 for 229 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in the win.

This doesn't sound like a great start to the week as the Texans hope to get their star QB back on the field. If Stroud can't go, the story said Ryans did not say whether Keenum will start against the Browns on Christmas Eve if Stroud is not cleared to return.

The Texans are going with Case Keenum as their starting quarterback for Week 15 against the Titans.

C.J. Stroud is out with a concussion. Davis Mills replaced Stroud in the fourth quarter against the Jets but it will be Keenum getting the start against the Titans. The Texans reportedly believe Keenum’s experience in big games is what the Texans need as they try to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Texans are now behind two 8-6 teams in Cincinnati and Indianapolis.

Eagles’ RB D’Andre Swift was not listed on today’s injury report, and TE Dallas Goedert was a full participant at today’s practice.

Swift coming off the injury report so early in the week should point towards his typical role within the explosive offense.

Goedert looks to see in-game action for the first time since Week 9, and it comes against a huge divisional game against the Dallas Cowboys. His target share will always be somewhat capped with DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown on the field, but he has notched two huge games for a struggling fantasy position: 8-117-1 in Week 5 and 5-77-1 in Week 7.
