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.

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.

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 Keenan Allen had five receptions for 25 yards against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. His eight targets were tied for game-high honors.
Huddle Up: Allen, who had scored a touchdown in four of his last five games while averaging 82.4 yards during that stretch, picked a bad time to regress to his Shane Waldron-era production as anyone playing trends likely had the veteran wideout in their lineup. He was fairly quiet in his Week 11 matchup with the Packers (4-41-0), though given how strong he's been most of the past six weeks fantasy owners could still find a spot for him as your No. 3 receiver.

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.

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 WR Keenan Allen caught nine of his 13 targets for a season-high 141 yards and a touchdown in a 34-17 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 16.
Huddle Up: Allen has been coming on strong, topping 70 yards in four of his last five games and scoring five times in that span. After a slow start, Allen has become a WR3 option.

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.

Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet ended up with a 14-yard reception on his lone target in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings.
Huddle Up: Kmet had a disappointing Monday night game, and that comes on the heels of his Week 14 outing with no catches or targets in San Francisco. He cannot be trusted in this critical juncture of the fantasy season in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze ended up with two receptions for 39 yards on seven targets in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings. He had a touchdown go off of his hands in the end zone in the fourth quarter.
Huddle Up: Odunze has slowed down a bit across the past few games, perhaps hitting a bit of a rookie wall. He has just eight receptions and 106 yards in the past three games, although he has two touchdowns in the span. He'll look to bounce back in Week 16 at home against the Detroit Lions. He remains more of a low-end WR3 or flex fantasy option in PPR leagues, with slightly lesser appeal in standard play.

Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore ended up with a game-high eight receptions for 46 yards on eight targets in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings, while he added three runs for 24 yards.
Huddle Up: Moore had a mediocre yardage for the second straight game, but he has six or more receptions in five consecutive outings. For fantasy purposes, he is a strong low-end WR2 in PPR formats, with slightly lesser appeal in standard formats. The Bears host the Detroit Lions in Week 16. He had eight grabs for 97 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets on Thanksgiving in Detroit in the first meeting.

Chicago Bears WR Keenan Allen ended up with six receptions for a game-high 82 yards with a touchdown on 13 targets in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings.
Huddle Up: Allen hasn't had a great first season in Chicago, but he has picked up the pace lately with four or more receptions in six of the past seven outings, while going for 73 or more yards in three of the past four games. He also has four touchdowns in the past four outings. He is back as a solid WR3 or flex fantasy option in all formats. The Bears host the Detroit Lions in Week 16.

Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift rushed 19 times for 79 yards in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings, while adding a 10-yard reception on his lone target.
Huddle Up: Swift carried a questionable tag into Monday's game due to a groin injury, but he made it through the entire game without any setbacks. It appears safe to plug him back into your fantasy lineup in all leagues heading into Week 16 against the Detroit Lions.

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 18-of-31 passes for 191 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings, and he ran four times for just three yards with one fumble lost.
Huddle Up: The good news is that Williams didn't throw any interceptions for the eighth consecutive game, but the bad news is that he has just one games with over 256 yards in the span, and he has eight touchdown strikes in the eight-game span. He is best used as a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues through the remainder of the 2024 season.

Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) was limited in practice on Saturday, Dec. 14, after not taking part the two days prior and is questionable for Week 15.
Huddle Up: Swift had the same exact participation last week and was able to suit up, although that was with a quadriceps injury rather than a groin issue. If Swift plays, he's an RB2. If he doesn't, it's hard to say who will take the reins in the backfield with Roschon Johnson (concussion) ruled out. Darrynton Evans spelled Swift last week when Johnson was ruled out, but the Bears also have Travis Homer. If Swift doesn't play, it's best to avoid this situation.

Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 13.
Huddle Up: Swift was able to play last week despite the injury, so fantasy players should check on his status after the final practice of the week. He can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues if he is able to play.

Chicago Bears RB Roschon Johnson (concussion) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 13.
Huddle Up: Johnson still needs to be cleared to play by the doctors, so his status for Week 15 is still uncertain. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation but probably should look for other options to use in their lineups.
