Chicago Bears DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (quadriceps) is optimistic that he will play in Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers despite being listed as questionable for Sunday's game on Friday's final injury report. Moore injured his quadriceps muscle while running a wheel route early in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions last Thursday but played the rest of the game. "I play through everything," Moore said. The 27-year-old caught eight of a season-high 16 targets for 97 yards and his fifth touchdown of the year on Turkey Day, and he had a season-high 106 receiving yards and a score the previous week in the overtime loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Fantasy managers will want to check back in on Moore's status for Sunday's game, but as long as he's active, he should be locked into starting fantasy lineups as a WR2 against San Fran.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) has been ruled questionable to play this weekend against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in Week 14. After missing the first two practices of the week, Swift practiced in limited fashion on Friday, at least giving himself a chance to play this weekend. The Bears' backfield could be dangerously thin on Sunday if Swift is out or limited, as Roschon Johnson (concussion) has already been ruled out. If Swift cannot get cleared by Sunday afternoon, Travis Homer would be in line to lead Chicago's backfield in touches, with Darrynton Evans likely being brought up from the practice squad to serve in a backup role. If Swift is cleared to suit up against the Niners, fantasy managers will want him in their lineups as an RB2. In 12 games for the Bears in 2024, Swift is averaging 12.4 half-PPR points, making him the RB23 with five total touchdowns scored.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (quadriceps) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 14 game this Sunday on the road in San Francisco against the 49ers. The good news is that Moore was able to get back on the practice field on a limited basis on Friday after not practicing on Wednesday or Thursday, but his availability for this weekend remains up in the air. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Keenan Allen (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the final Week 14 injury report after missing Wednesday's practice. Making things more difficult for fantasy managers that have Moore rostered is the fact that Chicago's game comes in the late-afternoon window this Sunday. If Moore doesn't get the green light to suit up against San Fran, both Allen and rookie Rome Odunze, in addition to tight end Cole Kmet would have higher fantasy ceilings.

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 14 on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. In addition to Johnson, lead running back D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) is questionable to play this weekend, meaning third-string back Travis Homer could be forced into lead-back duties at Levis Stadium on Sunday if Swift is also unable to go. Even if Swift is active on Sunday, expect the Bears to bring Darrynton Evans up from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster to give the team more depth at the position with Johnson still concussed. Johnson suffered a concussion in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Detroit Lions last Thursday and will now try to clear the league's concussion protocol in time for another divisional clash in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings.

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.
