Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift is expected to be on the team's roster in 2025, despite an underwhelming 2024 campaign statistically, according to ESPN.com's Dan Graziano. He is slated to make $8 million during the upcoming season, of which $6.11 million is fully guaranteed.
Huddle Up: Although Swift was in the top 10 in rushing attempts last season for NFL running backs, he only ranked 18th in rushing yards thanks to an average of just 3.8 yards per carry. If he remains the lead back for the Bears, he could be viewed as a volume-based RB3 option for fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift was the only running back to rank in the top 10 in carries that failed to reach 1,000 rushing yards in 2024.
Huddle Up: Swift averaged a lackluster 3.8 yards per carry, but the heavy workload allowed him to finish 18th in rushing yards. Despite the lack of efficiency, Swift can be a volume-based RB3 if he remains the lead back in Chicago next season.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze should receive a bigger role next season even if the team re-sign WR Keenan Allen or sign another veteran receiver, in the opinion of BearsWire's Mike Pendleton.
Huddle Up: Odunze had a solid rookie season with 734 yards and three touchdowns but probably will be the No. 2 receiver for the Bears starting next season. He can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams was sacked 68 times during the 2024 season, which led the NFL in that category and was sacked 15 more times than the second quarterback on the list.
Huddle Up: Williams had his ups and downs during his rookie season but has sacked at least five times in six games in 2024. He should have more success in his second season but probably will be a high-end No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Olamide Zaccheaus (hip) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 24, and is not on the injury report for the NFC Championship game.
Huddle Up: Zaccheaus was a big part of the passing game in the final few games of the regular season but has only three receptions for 19 yards in two playoff games. He probably will see a few targets this week but can be avoided in most leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Olamide Zaccheaus (hip) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 23.
Huddle Up: Zaccheaus seems to have a decent chance to play in the NFC Championship game, but fantasy players will know more in the next day or two. He has not been a big part of the passing game during the playoffs and can be avoided in most leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Olamide Zaccheaus (hip) was limited during practice Wednesday, Jan. 22.
Huddle Up: Zaccheaus was involved in the passing game during the second half of the season but has only 19 yards in two playoff games. He could see a few targets if he plays this week but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Washington Commanders WR Olamide Zaccheaus (groin) was able to return and finish the NFC Divisional Round playoff game against the Detroit Lions. He did not have any receptions with just two targets.
Huddle Up: Zaccheaus left the game with a groin injury, but eventually he was able to return and finish the game. With Terry McLaurin as the No. 1 receiver, and Dyami Brown quickly emerging as the primary option behind Scary Terry, Zaccheaus is fighting for crumbs with Jamison Crowder. However, O.Z. could have some DFS appeal if the price is right in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles if he is 100 percent healthy.

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams (hand) recently had a cyst removed from his right hand but will be fine moving forward.
Huddle Up: Williams was inconsistent during his rookie season and will be working with a new offensive system next season. He has the talent to be one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL but likely will open the 2025 season as a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.

Chicago Bears RB Roschon Johnson rushed twice for three yards and caught all five of his targets for 16 yards in Week 18 versus the Green Bay Packers.
Huddle Up: Johnson was a favorite of the fantasy community for most of last season, but he could be fighting for his long-term NFL future under a new coaching staff next season. The former fourth-round pick finishes his second season with 55 carries for 150 yards and six touchdowns and 16 catches for 104 scoreless yards. He will likely keep his roster spot as a short-yardage thumper and special teams contributor, but his chances of being a usable player in dynasty leagues are slim.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet hauled in both of his targets for three yards in Week 18 against the Green Bay Packers.
Huddle Up: Kmet may not be a game-changer per se, but it was shocking to see how much his role in the Chicago offense was minimized after posting 26 catches for 289 yards and three touchdowns through six games. From that point on, he could muster only 21 receptions for 185 yards and a score. The Bears have several things to fix under their to-be-determined new head coach, and one of the top priorities will be to get Kmet more involved. It should come as no surprise if a sharp offensive mind - if hired - can help Kmet return to being a low-end fantasy TE1.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze caught two passes for 18 yards in a 24-22 win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 18.
Huddle Up: It was a rough rookie season for Odunze, and he finished with 42 yards or less 13 times, including six games with 25 yards or less. He certainly has the potential to improve, but Odunze will be a WR4 entering 2025.

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 21 of his 29 passes for 148 yards and a touchdown and ran three times for 10 yards in a 24-22 win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Williams had an inconsistent rookie year, and while he posted a respectable 20 touchdowns compared to six interceptions, he struggled in many of the other metrics. He will need to make some serious strides next season to become more than a low-end QB2.

Washington Commanders WR Olamide Zaccheaus ended up with two receptions for 51 yards on five targets in Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Huddle Up: Zaccheaus might not be somebody you rely upon regularly in the fantasy regular season, but in postseason leagues he is a decent WR4 or flex fantasy option. The Commanders travel to meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the wild-card round next weekend.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (illness) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 3, and is not on the injury report for Week 18.
Huddle Up: Odzune was held to only 15 yards in his last game but should see a good amount of targets against the Green Bay Packers. He can be at least a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (illness) did not participate in practice Thursday, Jan. 2.
Huddle Up: Odunze likely will be available for the Week 18 if he can recovery from his illness over the next few days. He is coming off one of his worst games of the season in Week 17 but should still see some targets in the passing game if active. He could be at least a flex option in most leagues.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (illness) did not take part in practice on Wednesday, Jan. 1. The injury report was an estimation, as the Bears only held a walkthrough.
Huddle Up: Because it's just an illness, Odunze is likely to suit up. However, he simply hasn't done enough this season to warrant starting consideration in Week 18.

Washington Commanders WR Olamide Zaccheaus caught eight passes (on nine targets) for 85 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 17 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
Huddle Up: Through the first 14 games of the season, Zaccheaus topped 50 yards in a game exactly once, and he didn't have a touchdown. In the last two, he's caught 13 passes for 155 yards and 3 TDs. If you're looking for a hot hand to ride as a flex, Zaccheaus could fit the bill against a Cowboys secondary that struggled to contain Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee on Sunday.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze had one reception for 15 yards against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, Dec. 26. Odunze was targeted four times.
Huddle Up: In fairness, Odunze did have a touchdown wiped off the board on a holding penalty, but that's of no solace to anyone that had the rookie in their lineup after he posted 77 yards in Week 16. He had a 6-65-0 line versus the Packers in the first meeting between the clubs, but his season-long inconsistency makes him no more than a risky flier in the finale.

Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore had six catches (on eight targets) for 54 yards against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, Dec. 26. He also ran twice for eight yards.
Huddle Up: Since Thomas Brown took over back in Week 11, Moore has had fewer than eight touches in a game just once in seven weeks. That's excellent consistency. The yardage has fluctuated to a degree, but the 76-yard average during that time is a fairly accurate gauge of what you can expect. He logged 67 yards against the Packers in Week 11, so we'll see if he can top that in the finale. Moore and D'Andre Swift are the two safest fantasy options for the Bears, and you can pencil Chicago's top wideout in as your WR3.

Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift had 12 carries for 53 yards against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, Dec. 26. Swift added 28 yards on four receptions (five targets).
Huddle Up: While his scoreless streak was extended to a half-dozen games, Swift continued to at least chip in decent yardage totals -- he's averaging 67 yards per outing during that stretch. He faces the Packers in Week 18. Green Bay is the last team he scored against as part of an 84-yard effort, though that was in Thomas Brown's first game calling the plays, where Chicago utilized a lot of unscouted looks. As will be the case with all of Chicago's skill players, the outcome of Green Bay's matchup with the Vikings in Week 17 will likely influence how they approach the season finale. Although Swift is someone that should be in most lineups regardless, he carries more upside if the Packers treat Week 18 like a pseudo bye heading into the playoffs.

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 16 of 28 passes for 122 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception in a Week 17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Williams, who ran the ball five times for 37 yards, was sacked seven times.
Huddle Up: If you thought Chicago's offense looked bad at other points during their current 10-game losing streak, they took it to another level on Thursday night, matching their season low in points with Williams under constant pressure. After being sacked seven times tonight, Williams moved into second place all-time in sacks taken (67) by a rookie, behind only David Carr's 76. It was also his third game of less than 200 yards passing in his last four, and his first without a touchdown since Week 11 versus the Packers. He faces Green Bay again in the finale. At this point, it's impossible to know how the Packers will approach Week 18, making it difficult to gauge Williams' value.

Washington Commanders WR Olamide Zaccheaus caught five of his eight targets for 70 yards and two touchdowns in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Huddle Up: Zaccheaus did not record his first catch until the 2:13 mark of the third quarter and entered the final stanza with two catches for 10 yards before making TD catches of 4 and 49 yards to help the Commanders overcome a 13-point deficit and take a 28-27 lead. The 27-year-old is far too inconsistent to rely on in fantasy, but he possesses the deep speed to make a sizable dent in the box score occasionally. He should remain on the waiver wire in most leagues entering Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet finished with two catches for nine yards and a touchdown in a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 16.
Huddle Up: The touchdown somewhat salvaged an otherwise quiet game, and Kmet has a total of his six catches for 49 yards across the last four games. He can't be counted on to be a fantasy starter.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze caught four of his seven targets for 77 yards in a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Odunze topped 42 receiving yards for just the fourth time this season, and DJ Moore and Keenan Allen have both been more reliable fantasy options. Even in deeper leagues, Odunze is a risky play.

Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore caught seven of his 10 targets for 68 yards in a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Moore has logged at least six catches in six straight games, but he has only topped 70 receiving yards twice in that stretch. He can be a WR in PPR3 formats, but More isn't showing a lot of upside.

Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift rushed nine times for 20 yards and caught three passes for 33 yards in a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Swift has been held under 40 rushing yards in four of his last five games, and while he does provide some production in te passing game, he shouldn't be viewed as more than a flex option right now.

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 26 of his 40 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns and rushed six times for 34 yards in a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Even though the Bears have lossed nine straight, Williams has shown some promise. The rookie has tossed multiple touchdowns in four of his last five games, and he can be a QB2 option for fantasy owners.

Chicago Bears RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 20, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.
Huddle Up: Johnson likely will see a limited workload behind D'Andre Swift this week and is only a possible flex option in some deeper fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) was estimated as a full participant during the team's walk-through practice on Thursday, Dec. 19.
Huddle Up: Johnson has not played since Thanksgiving Day, so it is good to see he is finally close to full health. Even if he does return this week, he will likely be limited to short-yardage work in what has been a mediocre-at-best offense. He can remain on waivers in most leagues.
