Huddle Up: Monangai being out could give D'Andre Swift more touches early on in the season. When Monangai returns, it will be worth seeing how many more reps he gets in games, but for now, if he misses time, Swift becomes a fringe RB1 early on.

Huddle Up: Although Monangai isn't out of the woods just yet, the initial reports are encouraging. Assuming he avoided a serious, Monangai should be a flex option or RB3 as part of a two-headed monster in the Chicago backfield.

Huddle Up: Monangai appeared to walk off the field gingerly, but it appears he might have escaped a more serious ailment. We'll keep an eye on the situation, however. Monangai proved himself in his rookie season, and he is a valuable fantasy asset. As long as there are no setbacks, Monangai should be treated as a RB3 or flex fantasy option in most leagues of 12 or more teams. If D'Andre Swift were to suffer some sort of an injury in-season, Monangai would have some RB2 fantasy appeal.

Huddle Up: Kalif Raymond is next on the depth chart if Burden winds up missing games. Raymond is a journeyman receiver that doesn't have a ton of value but could be a cheap streaming option. Burden's ADP pegs him in the fourth round, and that is likely to fall a bit. He'll be an upside WR3 target.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players should look for an update on Burden in the next few days. He is coming off a productive 2025 season and is in line for a bigger role in the offense. He can be at least a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues if he is healthy.

Huddle Up: Monangai was the RB33 in PPR leagues last season after a 169-783-5 line on the ground. He'll be an RB3 again teaming iwth D'Andre Swift in the backfield. Roschon Johnson would become a handcuff option if either of the top two backs went down.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to keep an eye on the situation to see how long Monangai may be sidelined. He should see a good amount of work in 2026 like he did in last season and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 back in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players should monitor the situation because Raymond appears to be in line to be at least the No. 3 receiver for the Bears. He could be a late round pick in some leagues since the Bears had one of the better passing offenses in the NFL last season.

Huddle Up: Williams, for all that he produced in 2025, was not very efficient or consistent for stretches of the season. That being said, he is still a QB1 in fantasy leagues for the 2026 season, but he could be the top option if his QBR can rise to a league average.

Huddle Up: Williams completed 58.1 percent of his passes this last season, which was one of the lowest amount starting quarterbacks. He was still able to rank in the top 10 in passing yards and passing touchdowns, so a better completion percentage would likely help his stats. Williams should be considered a No. 1 quarterback in most fantasy leagues this season.

Huddle Up: Although his completion percentage left something to be desired, Williams saw a jump in his counting stats in his first season with Ben Johnson as head coach. If he takes another step forward in 2026, Williams will be in the QB1 mix on a weekly basis.

Huddle Up: Odunze caught just 44 of 90 targets last season, and that's something he'll need to clean up in order to be the WR2 in fantasy he's projected to be.

Huddle Up: Burden is in line for a big role this upcoming season after the team traded DJ Moore during the offseason. He is coming off a solid rookie season and should be able to improve his numbers with more playing time. He can be a No. 3 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Burden had high expectations heading into his second season with the Chicago Bears. Now, with this added endorsement of him from his head coach, fantasy players should take note. With the departure of DJ Moore, Burden has a chance to become the WR2, or even the WR1, of the Bears. Right now, he projects as a fun WR2 in fantasy lineups with some real potential to surpass that.

Huddle Up: Williams was the QB8 in fantasy, and he certainly can build upon that in his third season and second with this coaching staff. He's a solid midrange QB1 with upside in fantasy.

Huddle Up: Miller played the last two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, recording 14 receptions in 26 games. He's also played one season in Atlanta after his first four seasons in Tampa Bay. His best season was 2020, when he had 53 receptions and three touchdowns with the Buccaneers.

Huddle Up: Loveland is coming off a solid rookie season and should enter 2026 as the team's starting tight end. He should see a handful of targets each game and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Odunze dealt with injuries this past season and saw a drop in his receiving yards compared to his rookie season. He will still be one of the main options in the passing game for the Bears in 2026 and can be a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: As long as Luther Burden III, Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland are healthy in Chicago, Raymond will have rather limited usage. He isn't someone to draft in most fantasy leagues. However, it might only take an injury or two before he sees an uptick in production, so remember his name for the waiver wire during the fantasy season.

Huddle Up: Swift is coming off a career-high 1,087 rushing yards this season and received a majority of the carries for the Bears. He was sharing playing time with Kyle Monangai during the second half of the season and will likely receive a similar workload if he remains with the Bears. He can be a No. 2 or No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: After the late-season breakout of tight end Colston Loveland, the Bears' 2025 first-round pick, Kmet's fantasy usefulness for Chicago is arguably at its lowest point since being drafted in 2020. Kmet's fantasy value in 2026 would be largely tied to his new locale, but it's very unlikely Kmet will see a career resurgence that makes him a TE1 for fantasy purposes.

Huddle Up: Williams saw a jump in his play this season and should improve even more as he becomes more comfortable in head coach Ben Johnson's offensive system. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 quarterback in most fantasy leagues next season.

Huddle Up: Williams was still able to finish the season in the top 10 of both passing yards (3,942) and passing touchdowns (27) in 2025 despite the heavy pressure he faced. He should improve with another year in head coach Ben Johnson's offensive system and will likely be a No. 1 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: The rookie finished the season as the TE12 in PPR leagues with a 58-713-6 line. He'll be a midrange option as a TE1 in fantasy drafts next season.

Huddle Up: Odunze was targeted six times last Saturday against the Green Bay Packers, going for two receptions for 44 yards in his first action since Nov. 28. Hopefully he knocked off the rust last week, and he'll be a little more effective like he was earlier this season when he scored touchdowns in four straight games to open the season, totaling five TDs in the span.

Huddle Up: After looking like a legitimate running mate to D'Andre Swift in the middle of the season, Monangai's usage has faded down the stretch. In fact, Chicago's running game has struggled in general recently, finishing with a season-low 65 rushing yards in the season finale and 93 yards in the playoff opener. Fantasy owners planning to use a Chicago running back this weekend should target Swift.
