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 WR Keenan Allen caught nine of 15 targets for 86 yards and a late TD in a failed comeback. WR DJ Moore caught all seven of his targets for 106 yards and a TD, including the catch to set-up the game tying FG in regulation. Rome Odunze caught five of 10 targets for 39 yards.
Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 32 of 47 passes for 340 yards and two TDs. He also ran six times for 33 yards. He was sacked three times, but almost manufactured a comeback against the Vikings with a late fourth quarter TD and FG drive to tie the game.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice, so the groin shouldn’t be a major factor. But Minnesota ranks second in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs, and Swift lost most passing-down and goal-line work to RB Roschon Johnson last week. It leaves him as a low-end RB2 play this week, even with six teams on bye.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday with what he called ankle stiffness. That adds some risk to a guy who was already an unexciting fantasy start.
The Bears are "confident" RB D'Andre Swift (groin) will be able to play vs. the Vikings today, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says. Swift progressed from no practice on Wednesday to limited practice on Thursday to full participation on Friday, so we're not expecting the groin to be a major issue today. But the matchup against Minnesota's second-ranked RB defense -- plus the threat of Roschon Johnson -- leaves Swift as a fringe RB2 play today.
The Bears are "confident" WR Keenan Allen (ankle) will be able to play vs. the Vikings today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Allen is listed as questionable after dealing with what he called ankle stiffness on Friday. That adds some risk to a guy who was already an unexciting fantasy play.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (ankle) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings. He was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on Allen, but he was already an unexciting fantasy option before this news. His absence would boost the target potential for WR D.J. Moore, WR Rome Odunze, and TE Cole Kmet.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings. He progressed from no practice on Wednesday to limited practice on Thursday to full participation on Friday. So Swift should play this weekend, but the groin adds risk to a guy who lost passing-down and goal-line work last week and has a negative matchup against Minnesota’s second-ranked RB defense.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should put him on track to play against the Vikings this weekend, but we'll see how Swift is listed on Friday's final injury report.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Matt Eberflus said Swift is dealing with "just a little bit of a groin strain" and said he's "hopeful" Swift will be able to play vs. the Vikings this weekend. It sounds like there's at least some chance, though, that Swift won't be able to go. That'd presumably leave Roschon Johnson as Chicago's lead back. He should be rostered in all fantasy leagues of 10+ teams.
Bears QB Caleb Williams threw for 231 yards on 23 of 31 passing in Sunday's loss to Green Bay. He went without a TD pass for the fourth straight game.
The Bears on Saturday placed S Jaquan Brisker on IR for the concussion that had already cost him four games (with a bye week mixd in). That'll keep Brisker sidelined at least through Week 14 and S Elijah Hicks starting in his place.
Bears Edge Montez Sweat is active for today's game against the Packers. He entered questionable with an ankle injury but should be good for regular IDP use after finishing the week with a full Friday practice.
Bears HC Matt Eberflus told reporters Wednesday that S Jaquan Brisker will miss Sunday's game against the Packers. That'll mark five straight games lost to a Week 5 concussion. This is also the third straight season in which Brisker has missed multiple games following a concussion. He sat out two weeks in both 2022 and 2023 before returning to full-time duty in each case. This year's layoff also includes the Week 7 bye, between Brisker's first and second missed games.
The Bears are firing OC Shane Waldron, according to multiple reports. He'll be replaced by passing-game coordinator Thomas Brown.
Bears WR Keenan Allen caught five of six targets for 44 yards, leading the Bears WRs in catches and yards as well as tying for the lead in targets. In another poor passing day for QB Caleb Williams, the Bears offense as a whole suffered.
Bears RB D’Andre Swift ran 16 times for 59 yards while catching one pass for six yards. Swift had been carrying the Bears offense in recent weeks, but ran into a brick wall against the Patriots
Bears QB Caleb Williams continued his streak of poor games completing 16-of-30 for 120 yards while adding 15 yards on the ground. He held onto the ball extraordinarily too long being sacked nine times in the game.
Bears WR Rome Odunze was a top target of QB Caleb Williams catching five of seven targets for 104 yards. He was third on the team in targets, but a long 44 yard reception gave Odunze the edge. That catch was more yards than any other player totaled the entire game.
Bears Edge Montez Sweat (shin) is inactive for today's game against the Cardinals. Chicago will also miss slot CB Kyler Gordon (hamstring).
