Bears | Collin Johnson promoted Wed Nov 20, 12:03 PM
Chicago Bears WR Collin Johnson was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster on Wednesday, Nov. 20.
| Footballguys view: Johnson has bounced around the league to a few teams, but he's still a huge target (6-feet, 6-inches) we monitor in crazy deep dynasty formats. The Bears are stacked at the wide receiver position, so don't expect much from Johnson if he's out there on the field (he only has one target and one catch over the last two seasons). |

Bears | Seven catches for DJ Moore Sun Nov 17, 05:00 PM
Chicago Bears WR DJ Moore ended up with seven receptions for 62 yards on seven targets in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers.
| Footballguys view: Moore got a little banged up in this one and was only used on short passes, but he was a point of emphasis early and should be safe to put in lineups after the bye. |

Bears | Rome Odunze targeted 10 times Sun Nov 17, 04:56 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze had six receptions for a team-high 65 yards in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers, and his 10 targets were a game high.
| Footballguys view: Odunze had a catch to keep the Bears alive on fourth down, but the Packers ended up blocking the possible game winning field goal. The change at playcaller appears to be good for the rookie, so he's worth holding through the bye after being a slump with the rest of the offense for most of the last month. |
Bears | Roschon Johnson records TD in Week 11 Sun Nov 17, 04:53 PM

Bears | D'Andre Swift rolls to end zone Sun Nov 17, 04:50 PM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift rushed 14 times for 71 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers, while adding two receptions for 13 yards on his two targets.
| Footballguys view: Swift was contained for most of the afternoon, but busted a 39-yard touchdown run to make his fantasy day worthwhile for players who stuck with him on the hopes of a new playcaller reviving the Bears offense. He has a tough matchup against the Vikings next week, but should be in your lineup unless you're stacked at running back. |

Bears | No TDs again for Caleb Williams Sun Nov 17, 04:48 PM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 23-of-31 passes for 231 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers, while running nine times for 70 yards.
| Footballguys view: Williams wasn't as robotic in the pocket and he was much more willing to scramble and move the sticks as a runner with Thomas Brown calling plays and making the game plan. This fantasy result was mediocre because the running backs scored both touchdowns, but Williams could still be useful in better matchups than next week's game against the Vikings. |

Link to story Bears | Shane Waldron fired Tue Nov 12, 09:22 AM
Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron was fired Tuesday, Nov. 12. Assistant coach Thomas X. Brown is expected to take over.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Courtney Cronin reported, Waldron had come under heavy scrutiny in Chicago due to the offense's overall performance and the recent struggles of rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. The Bears (4-5) have lost three straight games, scoring a total of just 27 points over that stretch, and are averaging 277.6 yards per game this season, the third lowest in the NFL. The Bears rank near the bottom of the NFL in points scored (24th), yards per carry (28th), yards per pass (30th), total yards (30th), third downs (31st), and yards per play (31st). Meanwhile, Brown is one season removed from serving as the offensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers, which coincided with 2023 first-overall pick Bryce Young's rookie season. Brown spent three seasons with the Los Angeles Rams coaching running backs and tight ends and was also the team's assistant head coach from 2021 to 2022. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect an immediate turnaround. |

Bears | Eberflus: Offensive Changes Coming, But Caleb Williams Will Remain The Starter Mon Nov 11, 01:01 PM
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus effectively had no update on the changes he will make for Chicago's struggling offense during his Monday press conference. Eberflus said he's "still in the process" of evaluating and making the adjustments. But he did note that "everything's on the table." The one thing Eberflus was firm on is that the team isn't changing quarterbacks. "No," Eberflus said, "Caleb [Williams] is our starter."
| Footballguys view: Asked directly if offensive coordinator Shane Waldron will remain on the staff, Eberflus did not give a true answer -- which, as Profootballtalk.com suggests, may be revealing in and of itself. "Like I said, the process of that, we're going through right now," Eberflus said. "And all those adjustments and changes, things we're doing to do, we're still in the evaluation phase of that." After beating the Rams, Panthers, and Jaguars to enter their bye 4-2, the Bears have struggled mightily on offense ever since. Chicago has scored 15, nine, and three points in its last three games, losing each. The team hasn't scored an offensive touchdown in 34 possessions since the bye. Whatever changes Eberflus makes -- and it seems like at least shifting Waldron's responsibilities is likely at this point -- Eberflus said the choice is his and his alone. The Bears will play their first divisional matchup of the season on Sunday when they host the Packers. |

Bears | Keenan Allen leading receiver for CHI Sun Nov 10, 06:02 PM
Chicago Bears WR Keenan Allen caught five passes for 44 yards against the New England Patriots in Week 10. He was targeted six times during the game.
| Footballguys view: Allen was the best play in the Bears passing game today, which should tell you everything you need to know about DJ Moore and Rome Odunze's fantasy fortunes. None of the Bears receivers are more than flex plays against the Packers next week, and there's no signs that it's going to get better in the second half of the season. |

Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift rushed for 59 yards on 16 carries against the New England Patriots in Week 10. He also caught one pass for six yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Swift's fantasy peak may have come and gone as the Bears will face divisional opponents in six of their last eight games in the rough and tumble NFC North. He's still an RB2 play against the Packers next week, but his RB1 window this season is likely closed. |

Bears | Caleb Williams throws for 120 yards Sun Nov 10, 05:54 PM
Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams went 16-for-30 for 120 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions against the New England Patriots in Week 10. He also rushed for 15 yards on two carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Williams just can't be trusted in 1QB fantasy leagues, and at this rate, he might be lineup kryptonite in 2QB/Superflex. The Patriots aren't exactly a juggernaut defense and the much tougher defenses of the NFC North will make up six of the final eight games for the Bears. Next week, the Packers will come to Soldier Field well-rested coming off of a bye. |
