Chicago Bears DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has stepped it up for fantasy managers over the last month or so. Moore was a disappointment early in the season, but has six receptions or more over his last four games. Moore has also finished with 49 receiving yards or more over those last four contests. It finally appears that the 27-year-old is on the same page as rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. Moore comes into a plus-matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15. A defense that he carved up for 106 yards on seven receptions earlier in the season. Fantasy managers should lower their expectations a bit, but Moore remains a solid WR2 for Week 15.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has been a frustrating player to roster this season, but he appears to be turning a corner. Over his last three games, Williams has seven touchdowns without any interceptions. The includes a 340-yard performance against the same Minnesota Vikings that he's playing in Week 15. The rookie signal-caller is finally settling in and should be fine option for fantasy managers this weekend. The Bears have been playing from behind quite often lately, which has forced Williams to pass more frequently. Fantasy managers should consider Williams a low-end QB1 for Week 15.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's divisional matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Swift was unable to practice during the first two practice sessions of the week but was upgraded to a limited participant on Saturday, suggesting there is some positivity surrounding his status. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status throughout the weekend, as he may be a game-time decision leading up to Monday's game. The 25-year-old has dealt with lingering injuries all season but has yet to officially miss time with them. Over his past three contests, Swift has averaged 15.0 total touches per game but has been unable to produce much, totaling just 8.0 PPR points per game. Given his injury concern and tough matchup facing the league's third-toughest rushing defense, fantasy managers should view him as a risky flex option if he can suit up. If not, Travis Homer would be given RB1 duties as Roschon Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out.

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday night's contest against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Johnson suffered this concussion during their Week 13 match against the Detroit Lions and has been sidelined since. Johnson was unable to practice all week and will set his sights on returning in Week 16 to face the Detroit Lions. While sidelined, Travis Homer has taken the No.2 role behind D'Andre Swift. During Weeks 8 through 12, Johnson was showing some fantasy upside, especially in the red zone, as he punched in three scores during this five-game span. Fantasy managers should consider grabbing Homer off the waiver wire as the top option, Swift (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's tilt. If Homer gets the starting nod, he should be viewed as a high-floor RB2 based on volume.

Chicago Bears running backs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) both missed their second straight practice of the week on Friday. With just one more day of practice scheduled on Saturday, it's not looking good for either Swift or Johnson to be active on Monday night against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Travis Homer (head), the No. 3 back on the roster, is also on the injury report this week, but he's been practicing in full and should be ready for starting duties if both Swift and Johnson are unable to play. Johnson is less likely to play than Swift, but the 25-year-old Swift appears to be in real danger of sitting out. If both RBs are inactive, the Bears will most likely elevate Darrynton Evans from the practice squad to split the backfield with Homer. It would be a situation to avoid for most fantasy managers in the first week of the fantasy playoffs.
