Chicago Bears

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen (ankle) was held out of the first practice of the week on Wednesday but returned to a full practice session on Thursday, putting him on track to be available for the Week 14 tilt at Levis Stadium on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. The 32-year-old veteran wideout could be in line for a second straight big performance, too, with DJ Moore (quadriceps) having not practiced yet this week. Allen has mostly been inconsistent in his first year in Chicago with rookie quarterback Caleb Williams throwing him the football, but he's scored three touchdowns in the last two games after going for a 5-73-2 line in the Week 13 loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving last Thursday. Allen has seen at least eight targets in the last three games and would be a must-start in fantasy this weekend if Moore is unable to play.

Chicago Bears running backs D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) both missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. The Bears backfield could be dangerously thin heading into their Week 14 matchup this Sunday on the road against the San Francisco 49ers unless Swift and Johnson can return to practice on Friday in some capacity. If both RBs cannot suit up for this weekend in the first game without head coach Matt Eberflus -- he was fired on Black Friday following the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions -- the Bears could be down to Travis Homer as their lead back against the Niners. Even with extra time to prepare for Week 14, Swift and Johnson are in danger of missing Sunday's contest. For volume alone, Homer would be in play as an RB3/flex on Sunday if both Swift and Johnson are out.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (quadriceps) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Keenan Allen (ankle) also missed practice on Wednesday, but he was able to return to a full session on Thursday. It's Moore's status that is now firmly up in the air for Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers after going for eight catches, 97 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions last Thursday. The 27-year-old is going to need to practice in some fashion on Friday to avoid being ruled out entirely for Sunday's game. If Moore is out or limited at all, Allen and rookie Rome Odunze would naturally see more targets, as would tight end Cole Kmet. Fantasy managers need to plan for Moore's potential absence this weekend. Check back on Friday for his updated status.

Chicago Bears running backs D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) were both listed as DNPs for Wednesday's practice. The good news is the Bears have extra time to tend to their injuries after losing last Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game to the division-rival Detroit Lions, but Chicago's backfield is ailing and could be short-handed for a Week 14 meeting with the similarly banged-up San Francisco 49ers. If neither Swift nor Johnson manage to get the green light to play this weekend, the Bears would be forced to use third-stringer Travis Homer as their lead back, which would obviously be bad news for their offense on a team that has lost six straight games. The 25-year-old Swift has been the Bears' primary back all season. He had a streak of four straight games with a rushing touchdown from Weeks 4-7, but he's scored just once since.

Chicago Bears wide receivers DJ Moore (quadriceps) and Keenan Allen (ankle) were both listed as non-participants on Wednesday for the team's first practice of the week. The Bears played last Thursday on Thanksgiving in the loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions, so they'll have extra time to heal heading into Sunday's Week 14 game against the San Francisco 49ers. However, Moore and Allen will be worth watching the next few days to see if they are just being rested or if their injuries are serious. Both wideouts had big games in Week 13, with Moore catching eight passes (16 targets) for 97 yards and one touchdown, and Allen going for a 5-73-1 line on eight targets. If one or both of Moore and/or Allen are in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Niners, rookie Rome Odunze would have clear WR2 upside in fantasy.
