Chicago Bears DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quadricep) is officially active for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Swift had been listed as questionable but was trending toward playing. He'll suit up as the Bears' primary option out of the backfield and could even see a few extra opportunities with backup running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) sidelined. Swift ranks as the overall RB19 in PPR leagues this season but has been held to single-digit fantasy points in each of the last two weeks. He'll look to bounce back as a high-end RB2 this week versus the 49ers' suspect run defense.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) is expected to play on Sunday versus the 49ers. The 25-year-old has struggled in the last few games, most recently amassing only 39 yards off 11 carries and adding two catches for 35 yards in the Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions. He missed a few practices throughout the week because of a quad injury. Fortunately, he logged a limited session on Friday, giving him a chance to get on the field. With the Niners defense having a tough time stopping the run, Swift has an excellent chance to get on track, giving him plenty of upside in Week 14. However, his presence should mean fewer touches for Travis Homer, who would have taken over as the top option out of the backfield.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (quadriceps) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the 49ers. The 27-year-old was busy in the Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions, catching eight passes (16 targets) for 97 yards and one touchdown. Unfortunately, he has been dealing with a quad issue. However, that likely won't keep him off the field. As usual, Moore is a must-start in any fantasy setup, although his presence will probably mean fewer looks for Keenan Allen.

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.

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.
