Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) is considered week-to-week at this point because of his foot injury, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: This report comes after head coach Ben Johnson said "all options are on the table" regarding Odunze's foot injury and whether the team will shut him down for a stretch of time to get him healthy, ready for a potential playoff run. Johnson: "There may be a case that we need to protect him from himself a little bit so he can help us down the road." We'll be watching for more, but assuming he's week to week, it's unlikely to be this week. |
Chicago Bears RB Brittain Brown reverted back to the practice squad Monday, Dec. 15, after being on the active roster for Week 15.
Link to storyBen Johnson said "all options are on the table" regarding Rome Odunze's foot injury and whether the team will shut him down for a stretch of time to get him healthy, ready for a potential playoff run. Johnson: "There may be a case that we need to protect him from himself a little bit so he can help us down the road."
| Footballguys view: Odunze did not play in Sunday's game against the New York Giants after aggravating his injury minutes before kickoff. Aggravations are often worse than the initial issue, so we should assume that Odunze won't be available for at least the next two weeks, and he might not be able to return for the playoffs. Luther Burden III is also dealing with an ankle injury, so the Bears target tree is getting narrower, with DJ Moore the top healthy option. |

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (ankle) is considered day-to-day because of the ankle injury he suffered during the Week 15 game, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: Despite leaving Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns early, Burden had six receptions for a team-best 84 yards on seven targets before departing. As Footballguys Sigmund Bloom suggested, even if this ankle injury keeps him from mattering in redraft leagues for the next two weeks, Burden's dynasty value is high. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Chicago Bears RB Kyle Monangai ran for 33 yards on 11 carriesin a Week 15 win over the Cleveland Browns.
Link to storyChicago Bears D'Andre Swift ran for 98 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries in a Week 15 win over the Cleveland Browns. He caught one pass for minus-2 yards.
| Footballguys view: Swift got better as the game went on against a Browns run defense that has been wilting over the last two weeks. James Cook will take aim at them in Week 16, while Swift will be a solid RB2 play against the Packers next week after outplaying Kyle Monangai against Cleveland. |

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams completed 17 of 28 for 242 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a Week 15 win over the Cleveland Browns.
Link to storyChicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (ankle) left the Week 15 game against the Cleveland Browns due to an ankle injury, and he did not return. Burden had six receptions for a team-best 84 yards on seven targets before departing.
| Footballguys view: Burden's fantasy value is only going up from here in dynasty leagues even if this ankle injury keeps him from mattering in redraft leagues for the next two weeks. DJ Moore will be the clear #1 wide receiver target for Caleb Williams next week against the Packers and an easy choice to include in fantasy lineups. |
Updating a previous report, Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) will not play in Week 15's game against the New York Giants after aggravating his foot injury minutes before kickoff Sunday, Dec. 14, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: This one came out right before kickoff. The second injury is almost always worst than the first, so we should assume that Odunze won't be available for at least the next two weeks, and he might not be able to return for the playoffs. The Bears target tree getting narrower could make lineup decisions easier in the rest of the fantasy playoffs. |

Link to storyThe Chicago Bears are hopeful that WR Rome Odunze (foot) will be able to play in Week 15's game versus the Cleveland Browns, according to multiple sources.
| Footballguys view: Odunze has been limited in practice all week. He had to miss Week 14, but it seems like he's trending to play on Sunday. If Odunze is out there, Fantasy GMs should consider him a deep flex play. |
Chicago Bears CB Kyler Gordon (groin) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 12, and has been ruled out for Week 15. RB Travis Homer (ankle) was limited during practice but has been ruled out. WR Rome Odunze (foot) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable.

Chicago Bears WR Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is not on the injury report for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Zaccheaus saw a huge target share early in the year but has steadily lost involvement as rookies Luther Burden and Colston Loveland have gotten more opportunities. With Rome Odunze out last week, Zaccheaus did find the end zone on one of his three targets. He's still an extremely risky play, especially with sub-zero temperatures forecast for Chicago. |

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: After a blistering start to the year, Odunze has been quiet since the Bears' Week 5 bye. He's reportedly dealing with a stress fracture in his foot, which kept him out of last week's game. Since the bye, he's been a per-game WR54, making him a risky flex even if active. The best-case scenario? Fantasy managers can afford to bench Odunze this weekend while hoping he shows enough to inspire confidence for Week 16. |
Chicago Bears WR Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 11.

Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 11.
| Footballguys view: Odunze is limited both days so far this week in practice. He's got flex appeal for Fantasy GMs in Week 15. The Bears want to run the ball early and often, but when they go through the air Odunze will be involved. |
Chicago Bears DB Kyler Gordon (groin) and RB Travis Homer (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, Dec. 11. WR Rome Odunze (foot), DB Tyrique Stevenson (hip), and WR Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) were limited in practice on Thursday.
