Keenan Allen Doesn't Carry An Injury Designation Heading Into Week 14

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen (ankle) was removed from the team's injury report after logging full practices on Thursday and Friday. The veteran wideout sat out Wednesday's practice with an ankle issue, but he has been cleared and has a full go against the San Francisco 49ers. Allen will look to continue his strong play in Week 14 as he faces a tough matchup against San Francisco's secondary. The 49ers rank 4th in passing yards allowed, giving up just 190 yards per game. Meanwhile, Allen's fellow star wide receiver, DJ Moore (quadriceps), is listed as questionable for the game after being limited in Friday's practice following missed sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. While Moore is optimistic he'll play, if he's unable to suit up, it would open the door for other pass catchers to step up in the Bears' offense. Allen has been a key part of Chicago's passing attack, coming off a Week 13 performance where he caught five passes for 73 yards and two touchdowns. Even with Moore potentially active, Allen remains a solid flex play, but if Moore is ruled out, Allen becomes a near must-start option in all formats.

Cairo Santos A Solid, Low-Ceiling Kicker Play In Week 14

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is a solid but unexciting fantasy option in Week 14 as he faces the San Francisco 49ers. Santos' most recent outing was limited, as he only had the opportunity to attempt two extra points during the game, both of which he successfully converted. This highlights how the Bears' offense can often cap his fantasy upside, as he doesn't always get many scoring opportunities. While Santos could have a decent game this Sunday, better options are likely available for those looking to stream a kicker. Given the matchup with a tough 49ers defense, it's worth exploring other kickers who may see more chances to score.

Cole Kmet A Risky Start With Touchdown Upside In Week 14

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet is a risky fantasy start in Week 14 as he faces a solid San Francisco 49ers defense. The 49ers rank fourth in passing yards allowed, giving up only 190 yards per game. Meanwhile, Kmet's star wide receiver teammate, DJ Moore (quadriceps), is listed as questionable after being limited in Friday's practice following missed sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. While Moore is optimistic about playing, if he's unable to suit up, it would significantly boost the other pass catchers in the Bears' offense. However, Kmet has been a secondary option in the passing game all season, making him a volatile fantasy choice. He managed just three receptions for 26 yards in the Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions. If Moore is ruled out, Kmet becomes a borderline TE1 with the potential for more targets. However, if Moore plays, it will be hard to confidently start Kmet, given the competition for touches in the Bears' offense.

Rome Odunze Desperation Flex With Upside In Week 14

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze will look to bounce back from a quiet performance in Week 13 as he faces a tough San Francisco defense in Week 14. The 49ers rank 4th in passing yards allowed, limiting opponents to just 190 yards per game. Meanwhile, Odunze's fellow star wide receiver, DJ Moore (quadriceps), is listed as questionable after being limited in Friday's practice following missed sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. While Moore remains optimistic about playing, if he's unable to go, it would open up more opportunities for the Bears' other pass catchers. Odunze will need to step up after a modest Week 13 performance in which he recorded just two catches for 25 yards. If Moore is ruled out, Odunze will become a boom-or-bust option with the potential for a more prominent role in the passing game. However, if Moore plays, it's difficult to confidently start Odunze, given the competition for targets in the Bears' offense.

Travis Homer Poised For Bigger Role Against 49ers In Week 14

Due to injuries to key teammates, Travis Homer may transition from special teams ace to starting running back for the Chicago Bears in Week 14. Both D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) are dealing with injuries, which could open the door for Homer to get the nod. Swift was limited in Friday's practice after missing Wednesday and Thursday's sessions, while Johnson has already been ruled out for the game. With Johnson unavailable, Darrynton Evans is likely to serve as the backup to Homer, as he is currently on the Bears' practice squad. The 49ers defense is traditionally stronger against the pass than the run, making this an intriguing opportunity for the Bears' running backs. San Francisco is allowing 119.9 rushing yards per game, which could lead to significant fantasy production for whoever gets the start. If Swift and Johnson are both sidelined, Homer becomes an appealing deep-league play, especially for fantasy managers dealing with injuries or bye-week dilemmas.
