Chicago Bears Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Bears RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. Johnson isn’t a viable fantasy option but figures to steal some passing-down and short-yardage snaps from RB D’Andre Swift.

Bears RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. That puts him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Lions and siphon some passing-down and short-yardage work from RB D'Andre Swift.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is active for tonight's game vs. the Vikings. He only got in a limited practice on Saturday and was listed as questionable, so it's safe to assume he'll be playing at less than 100% in this matchup against the league's fourth-ranked RB defense.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday night's game vs. the Vikings. He only got in a limited practice on Saturday but said afterward that he expects to play against Minnesota. The late kickoff makes it a tricky situation for fantasy owners, though. RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) is out for Week 15, so Swift's absence would leave the backfield to RBs Travis Homer and Darrynton Evans. If you're considering those two for Swift insurance, we'd lean toward Homer.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) did not practice on Thursday. It's a new injury for Swift, who missed the first two practices last week with a quad. RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) was also sidelined on Thursday. We'll see if these guys get back on the field tomorrow, ahead of Monday night's game vs. the Vikings. Desperate fantasy owners could stash RB Travis Homer, who'd be the lead back if Swift and Johnson miss the Monday nighter.

Bears WR Rome Odunze found the end zone twice in the second half catching four of five tagrtes for 42 yards. The entire Bears’ offense struggled with much of their scoring coming in a catch up attempt in the second half.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, but we’ve heard nothing about his role being limited today. Moore is fine to get into fantasy lineups if you were waiting on him.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100% today. RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) is out, though, freeing up passing-down and goal-line work. RBs Travis Homer and Darrynton Evans are also active for the Bears.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (quad) is expected to play vs. the 49ers today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Swift is listed as questionable after only getting in a limited practice on Friday, so he carries elevated risk in Week 14 fantasy lineups. But there's also a chance Swift handles more work today with RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) out. RBs Travis Homer and Darrynton Evans will join Swift in Chicago's backfield today.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (quad) is expected to play vs. the 49ers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Moore only got in a limited practice on Friday and was listed as questionable, so it's safe to assume he'll be operating at less than 100%. We'll look for further updates about his expected role today. See where Moore lands in the Week 14 WR Rankings.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. We’ll look for more info on Moore but won’t get Chicago’s inactives until a little before 3 pm ET on Sunday. WR Keenan Allen (ankle) is off the final injury report after getting in full practices on Thursday and Friday.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so he’s seemingly legitimately in question for this one. RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out, leaving Travis Homer as the top healthy RB on the roster. RBs Darrynton Evans and Demetric Felton are on the practice squad. Homer would be a RB3 or Flex-level play if Swift ends up missing this week.

Bears WR Keenan Allen (ankle) returned to a full practice on Thursday. He'll be ready to roll for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. WR D.J. Moore (quad) missed practice again, though, leaving his Week 14 status up in the air. We'll see if Moore gets on the field tomorrow. His absence would boost the fantasy outlooks on both Allen and WR Rome Odunze.

Bears RBs D’Andre Swift (quad) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) remained out of practice on Thursday. If they’re both out come Sunday, the bulk of Chicago’s backfield work would likely shift to RB3 Travis Homer. He’s listed at 201 pounds and has totaled only three carries in 2024. Meanwhile, the Bears have change-of-pace options in Darrynton Evans and Demetric Felton. For now, Homer is just a speculative add in deep leagues.

Bears WRs D.J. Moore (quad) and Keenan Allen (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Both guys played until the end of last Thursday's loss to the Lions, so this could just be a rest day early in the week. We'll see if Moore and Allen get back on the field tomorrow. WR Rome Odunze would see a big boost in volume vs. the 49ers this weekend if those guys don't play.

Bears RBs D'Andre Swift (quad) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any details on Swift's injury. He seemed to make it out of the Thanksgiving loss okay. Johnson will need to get in at least a limited practice tomorrow to have a chance to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. Travis Homer and Demetric Felton are the other RBs on Chicago's active roster. RB Darrynton Evans is on the practice squad.

The Bears have fired HC Matt Eberflus in the wake of Thursday's late debacle against the Lions. He finished 14-32 across two seasons and nearly three-quarters of his third. Chicago has named Thomas Brown interim HC, just three games after he was elevated from passing-game coordinator to interim OC.

Bears RB Roschon Johnson sustained a concussion in Thursday's loss to the Lions. It's his second documented concussion. Johnson will have 10 days to clear protocol ahead of Week 14's meeting with the 49ers. His absence would boost RB D'Andre Swift's pass-catching and TD projections.

After being nearly shut out in the first half, the Bears passing game took off in the second half. Keenan Allen caught five of eight targets for 73 yards and two TDs. D.J. Moore caught eight of 16 targets for 97 yards and a TD. Rookie Rome Odunze only caught two of his six targets for 25 yards.

After failing to throw a TD in the first half, Bears QB Caleb Williams threw three TDs in the second half. He ended up completing 20 of 39 for 256 yards. He also ran four times for 39 yards. He almost came back for the win with a last-minute drive that was penalty-filled.
