Chicago Bears DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

On the podium at the 2024 NFL Combine, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said he "loves where Roschon Johnson is in his development." This was in response to a question about Johnson's potential prospects of being the team's lead back in 2024. The former Texas Longhorn rushed 81 times for 352 yards and two touchdowns and caught 34 passes for 209 yards in his rookie season after being selected in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. 25-year-old ball-carrier Khalil Herbert remains on the roster, while veteran D'Onta Foreman is a free agent. While Eberflus' comments are a good sign, it's far too early to project Johnson's potential workload. With a strong free agent and underrated rookie running back class available this offseason, the organization could easily add to its running back room.

USC quarterback and projected No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams is not expected to throw at all during this week's NFL scouting combine, according to sources. Williams will instead throw at his school's pro day on March 20. The 22-year-old Heisman Trophy winner in 2022 could go to the Chicago Bears at No. 1 overall if they hold onto the pick and choose to move on from Justin Fields this offseason. He spent three years in college at Oklahoma and USC and is the clear top QB prospect heading into the NFL draft in 2024. While Williams' numbers didn't look as good in 2023 compared to his Heisman-winning season in 2022, he should still be expected to start from Day 1 in the NFL in his rookie season in 2024.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (forearm) said that he broke his right forearm in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Green Bay Packers and currently has a brace on it. He said he'll be cleared soon and the injury won't hinder his offseason training at all. The 24-year-old didn't realize he had a significant injury in the loss to the Packers and finished out the game with three catches for 41 yards on four targets. Kmet has played in every single game so far in his four years in the NFL, and he finished last season with career-highs in catches (73) and receiving yards (719) while scoring six touchdowns in 17 games played. His fantasy outlook as a TE1 for the 2024 season will depend on what the Bears brass decides to do at the quarterback position. If they decide to move on from Justin Fields, Kmet will most likely be working with a rookie signal-caller.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (back) is officially active for Saturday's game against the Houston Texans. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after the Ravens activated him from injured reserve. Over 13 games during the regular season, Duvernay amassed just four receptions for 18 total yards. He primarily contributed on special teams, returning 23 punts and nine kickoffs. He should continue to be avoided by fantasy managers and bettors ahead of the Divisional Round.

The Baltimore Ravens activated wide receiver Devin Duvernay (back) and cornerback Ar'Darius Washington (pectoral) from Injured Reserve on Friday. Both players practiced in full this week but were listed as questionable on the team's final injury report on Thursday, but they are both expected to play on Saturday in the Divisional Round of the playoffs against the visiting Houston Texans. Back spasms kept the 26-year-old Duvernay out of the final four regular season games, but he is going to return this weekend to give the Ravens some receiver depth and a special teams boost as a return option, especially with Tylan Wallace (knee) already ruled out. Duvernay wasn't much of a weapon on offense for the Ravens in 2023, catching just four passes for 18 yards and no touchdowns on nine targets.
