Chicago Bears DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

In Week 12, Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze delivered a solid performance in the team's 30-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Odunze finished with five receptions for 39 yards but was kept out of the end zone for another week. While the other Bears playmakers were more involved in this contest, limiting Odunze's opportunities, he still made several key plays. Late in the game, with the Bears needing to generate big plays to stay in the contest, Odunze was targeted and showed his ability to step up in crucial moments. Although he didn't find the end zone, the rookie wideout continues to demonstrate promise as a dependable option. With a quick turnaround, Odunze and the Bears will face the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday, looking to bounce back.

On Sunday, Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen turned in a massive performance in the team's 30-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Allen finished with nine receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown and led the team with 15 targets, solidifying himself as quarterback Caleb Williams' go-to option throughout the game. Especially in short-yardage situations, Allen came up big, making key catches to move the chains when the Bears needed them most. This game showcased the best version of Allen we've seen this season, as he made impactful plays at critical moments, including a substantial late fourth-quarter touchdown. However, his performance was marred by a notable mistake: a dropped pass on 4th down when the Bears were deep in Vikings territory. Despite the misstep, this was Allen's best game of the year. With a quick turnaround, he and the Bears will face the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday.

In Week 12, Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore turned in a standout performance in the team's narrow 30-27 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Moore finished with seven receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown, showing signs of improvement after a few quiet weeks. He also contributed in the rushing game, adding one carry for 10 yards. It was encouraging to see Moore used more creatively within the offense. His touchdown came on a well-designed screenplay that allowed him to waltz into the end zone untouched. He also made several plays where he was able to get in space, using his quickness and shiftiness to make defenders miss and generate big yardage. With a quick turnaround, Moore and the Bears will look to build on this performance when they face the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday.

On Sunday, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift had a challenging outing in the team's Week 12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Swift rushed 13 times for just 30 yards, marking his worst performance in recent memory, though it came against a tough Vikings defense. While the running game was largely ineffective, Swift made his presence felt in the passing game, hauling in three catches for 35 yards. Despite being bottled up on the ground, Swift sparked the offense with a key reception that helped set up a touchdown drive. However, in disappointing news for Swift fantasy managers, the touchdown run went to his backup, Roschon Johnson, who has become the Bears' go-to option in goal-line and short-yardage situations. With a quick turnaround, Swift and the Bears will look to rebound against the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday.

On Sunday, Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson made an impact in the team's Week 12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. While his offensive snaps were limited, Johnson made the most of his opportunities, rushing twice for 2 yards and a touchdown. As the Bears' primary short-yardage and goal-line back, Johnson converted a crucial touch near the end zone into a score. He also caught one pass for 10 yards, adding a small but solid contribution to the passing game. Johnson's fantasy value remains largely touchdown-dependent, especially as long as D'Andre Swift remains healthy and continues to dominate the backfield. If Johnson can maintain his role in the red zone, he'll continue to be a viable fantasy optionalbeit with a boom-or-bust profile. With a quick turnaround, the Bears will face the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Thursday.
