Chicago Bears DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer (head) was listed on the first injury report of the week due to a head injury. However, the veteran was listed as a full participant. With D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) not practicing to begin prep for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15, Homer could enter the fantasy radar for Monday Night's divisional contest. However, the injury status of all three running backs should be monitored throughout the rest of the week. With Johnson inactive last week against the San Francisco 49ers, Homer caught three passes for 11 yards. That said, he's not worth a starting spot in fantasy lineups unless Swift and Johnson miss Week 15.

Chicago Bears running backs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (concussion) were listed as non-participants for the team's first practice in Week 15 on Thursday. The Bears will face off against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings on Monday night this week, which means they won't release their final injury report until Saturday. Swift was listed as questionable for last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers but ended up playing and disappointing his fantasy managers with 15 touches for 40 scrimmage yards in a blowout defeat. Meanwhile, Johnson missed his second straight game. The 25-year-old Swift is now up in the air to play again this week, although he has two more days to return to practice. In Chicago's lackluster offense, Swift has struggled recently and has scored just once in his last six games. If both Swift and Johnson are out on Monday, Travis Homer would be Chicago's lead back.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet had a disappointing performance in the team's tough 38-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14. Kmet was shut out, finishing with zero receptionsa significant step back from his recent solid performances. He was targeted on the Bears' two-point conversion attempt, but unfortunately, he dropped what was a very catchable ball, further adding to his frustration. As was the case with most of the Bears' pass catchers, Kmet's fantasy production suffered due to the team's inability to move the ball through the air, with just 134 passing yards total. It was a challenging day for the offense, and Kmet couldn't find his rhythm. The Bears will look to get back on track next Monday night when they face the Minnesota Vikings in a crucial rematch.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze delivered a standout performance in the team's tough 38-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14. Odunze finished with four receptions for 42 yards and two touchdowns, making his mark as one of the few bright spots for the Bears on offense. His first touchdown was a highlight-reel catch, as he managed to get both feet down in the back corner of the end zone, showcasing impressive footwork. The second touchdown came when rookie quarterback Caleb Williams found Odunze with a beautiful pass over the middle of the field, displaying their growing chemistry. Despite the Bears' struggles, Odunze's ability to make plays in the red zone is encouraging for fantasy managers. He'll look to build on this performance when the Bears face the Minnesota Vikings next Monday night.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen had a quiet outing in the team's tough 38-13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Allen finished with just three receptions for 30 yards on five targets, primarily contributing with short-yardage catches to help quarterback Caleb Williams move the chains. Unfortunately, it was a challenging day for all of the Bears' pass catchers, as the team managed only 134 passing yards in total. With the Bears' offense struggling to get into any rhythm, Allen's production was limited, leaving fantasy managers disappointed. However, his involvement in the short passing game still provided some hope for future games. The Bears will look to bounce back next Monday night when they face the Minnesota Vikings in a key rematch, and Allen will be crucial to their offensive success moving forward.
