Caleb Williams questionable; Kyle Monangai ruled out against Atlanta

Bears

Oct 16 · 5:44 PM EDT

Chicago listed Caleb Williams questionable for Sunday’s game against Atlanta after another full practice Friday. Williams is working back from a hamstring injury and has not been confirmed as the starter. Kyle Monangai was ruled out with thumb and toe injuries.

Related Players: Tyson Bagent, Case Keenum, D’Andre Swift, Roschon Johnson, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, Kalif Raymond, Zavion Thomas, Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet

Fantasy Impact:

Williams would return to QB1 consideration if cleared, but managers need a backup until Chicago confirms his availability. His return would also improve the outlook for Burden, Odunze, and Loveland. Monangai’s absence strengthens Swift’s RB2 appeal and creates a path to a larger workload. Johnson is a deeper FLEX possibility, with his value depending on how Chicago divides the remaining touches.

Caleb Williams practices fully but says medical clearance remains pending

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams reached another milestone in his recovery from a hamstring injury Thursday when he logged full participation in practice for the first time since Sept. 18.

The Bears quarterback has been listed as a full participant on the team's injury report for two consecutive days, including Wednesday's walk-through, but made clear that his status for Chicago's Week 6 game at Atlanta has not been decided.

Fantasy Impact:

Williams’ managers still need another quarterback available. If cleared, he returns to QB1 consideration, although his rushing contribution carries uncertainty following the injury. His return would improve the outlook for Burden, Odunze and Loveland.

Caleb Williams expected to receive full listing on Wednesday’s estimated report

Caleb Williams will be a full participant on today's injury report, Ben Johnson said.

Today is a walkthrough, so the injury report is an estimate.

Related Players: Tyson Bagent, Case Keenum, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, Kalif Raymond, Zavion Thomas, Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet, D’Andre Swift

Fantasy Impact:

Williams would return to QB1 consideration if cleared to start against Atlanta. His availability would improve the scoring ceiling for Burden, Odunze and Loveland. Burden would be a WR2 option, Odunze a WR3/FLEX with WR2 upside, and Loveland a tight end streamer.

Bears uncertain who will start at quarterback Monday night

Couple of QB updates from Ben Johnson
-Starter for Monday vs. Philly TBD.
-Case Keenum will practice Wed. Tyson Bagent (not at Halas today as part of CP), Caleb Williams will not.
-No plans to sign another QB this week.
-Johnson got a text Tuesday morning that Bagent was being evaluated for a concussion symptoms, believes he got hurt on first 3rd down play (van Ginkel), not Dallas Turner sack on final play.
-Williams has been a part of walk thru, is "actively involved" in prep/game planning

Fantasy Impact:

Keenum is currently the only quarterback Chicago can confidently prepare to start, although the Monday kickoff gives Williams and Bagent additional recovery time. A Keenum start would lower the passing-game ceiling for Burden, Odunze, and Loveland while potentially encouraging Chicago to lean more heavily on Swift. The late kickoff also creates a lineup-management problem, so managers relying on Bears pass catchers should secure Monday-night alternatives where possible.
