Bears TE Colston Loveland continued his slow start with 1 catch for 3 yards against the Vikings. That’s his current season-long total (on 5 targets) through two games.

Bears TE Colston Loveland had no catches on only 2 targets while the Bears offense exploded for 59 points against the Carolina Panthers. Fellow TE Cole Kmet went 2-35-1. The raw fantasy production is extremely concerning, but don’t panic just yet. Loveland led the entire Bears weapons in snaps (65) and routes run (35). So, the underlying usage was still solid.

Bears WR Rome Odunze is "day to day" with the injury he suffered on September 3 and won't practice on Tuesday, HC Ben Johnson said. Odunze is believed to be dealing with a right ankle injury unrelated to last year's foot trouble, but we'll get Chicago's first official injury report of the season on Wednesday.

Bears WR Rome Odunze was hampered by a left foot injury for much of the 2025 season, ultimately missing the final five regular-season games. He returned for the playoffs and didn't have surgery this offseason. But Odunze admitted on Wednesday that the foot might never get back to where it was pre-injury. “This is my new normal,” Odunze said. “And it’s not from a standpoint that I’m always in pain, but the way my foot broke there’s callouses in there that, like, creates a different type of foot structure with those bones. Different types of things that kind of shift things around."

The Chicago Bears selected Stanford TE Sam Roush in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Roush spent all four college seasons at Stanford, capping his time with a career-best 49-545-2 receiving line. Roush profiles as a traditional inline TE, with blocking and red-zone work his primary strengths. He wins contested catches and uses his frame to break tackles. Among the 27 TEs invited to the NFL Combine, Roush ranked 21st in 2025 aDOT (6.3), and third in team market share of receiving yards (22.9%). He ranked seventh in 2025 receiving yards per team pass attempt (1.51) and 19th in receiving yards per route run (1.39). He enters the league at 22 years old.

The Bills and Bears have agreed to a trade to send WR D.J. Moore to Buffalo. The Bears are getting a "mid-round pick" in return, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a much-needed boost to QB Josh Allen's weaponry -- and frees up opportunity for WRs Luther Burden and Rome Odunze and TE Colston Loveland in Chicago.

Update: The Bears are sending Moore and a 2026 fifth-round pick to Buffalo for a 2026 second-rounder.

The Bears entered a crucial Week 16 rematch with the Packers down two of their top three WRs and needed D.J. Moore to step up. Moore did dramatically, catching a 46-yard TD in overtime as the Bears extended their lead in the tight NFC North race. Moore set a new season-high with 97 receiving yards and tied his best mark with 7 targets.

Bears WRs Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) are out for Saturday's game vs. the Packers. Neither guy practiced all week. That strips QB Caleb Williams of two of his top targets and leaves D.J. Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus as Chicago's top two WRs. TE Colston Loveland is also a candidate for more work in the passing game. We've had Odunze and Burden projected out all week, so there are no changes to the Week 16 rankings.

Bears HC Ben Johnson labeled WR Luther Burden "day to day" with the ankle injury that knocked him out of the Week 15 win over the Browns. "Still something that we’re working through and talking about," Johnson added. "We’ll see how this week goes, in terms of whether we’ll have him Saturday night." It at least sounds like Burden dodged a serious injury, but consider him iffy for Saturday night's game against the Packers. With WR Rome Odunze likely to miss that one with his foot injury, Chicago could be down to WRs D.J. Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus. We'd expect TE Colston Loveland's role to expand in that case.

Bears WR Rome Odunze has been playing through a stress fracture in his foot, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. It's unclear when Odunze suffered the injury. He was on the injury report with a heel as far back as Week 9, but this week is the first time he's been listed with a foot. Pelissero adds that Odunze "just needs rest and is week-to-week. The belief is it’s nothing long term and he’ll be back soon." We'll keep you updated on Odunze's health going forward, but he seems more likely than not to miss multiple games with this injury. His absence leaves behind 7.5 targets per game, boosting the fantasy outlooks on WRs Luther Burden, D.J. Moore, and Olamide Zaccheaus and TE Colston Loveland.

Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. We don’t have any details on this foot injury, but Odunze didn’t practice all week, so this could turn into a multi-game absence. D.J. Moore, Luther Burden, and Olamide Zaccheaus will operate as Chicago’s top three WRs against Green Bay’s 17th-ranked WR defense. TE Colston Loveland could also get more involved.

The forecast for today's Bears-Eagles game calls for 15-25 mph winds with gusts up to 35 mph. That's enough to impact deep passes and kicks. We're not adjusting any projections, but you could use the weather as a tiebreaker against guys from this game.

The Chicago Bears scored 31 points on offense against the Pittsburgh Steelers with three rookies overtaking the veterans in front of them. RB Kyle Monangai went 12-48-1 on the ground outperforming D’Andre Swift who only went 8-15-0. TE Colston Loveland went 4-49-1 compared to Cole Kmet’s 1-3-0. Finally, WR Luther Burden III surpassed Olamide Zaccheaus again this week with Burden going 3-46-0 on 5 targets while Zaccheaus caught his lone target for 6 yards.

Bears TE Cole Kmet tallied a team-high 5 receptions for a team-high 45 yards in Sunday's win over the Vikings. His five targets tied for second on the team, trailing leader WR Rome Odunze by one. Kmet also beat TE Colston Loveland by one target. Loveland logged 3 catches for 40 yards in a game that saw Chicago throw for just 193 yards in all.

The forecast for today's Giants-Bears game calls for sustained winds around 20 mph with gusts up near 30 mph. That's enough to potentially impact play calling (i.e. more running) and passing efficiency. The game's total has dropped from 47 to 45.5. We've docked the projections on both passing games and would stay away from the kickers in this game. See the updated rankings.

Bears TE Cole Kmet (concussion) is not listed on the final injury report and will play vs. the Giants this weekend. Kmet isn’t a fantasy option, but his presence dings TE Colston Loveland’s playing-time projection. The rookie remains a viable TE1, though, after his huge Week 9.

Bears TE Cole Kmet (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. He's on track to be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. Kmet has fallen well behind TE Colston Loveland in playing time and is off the fantasy radar. But his availability does put a small dent in Loveland's outlook.

Bears TE Cole Kmet has been ruled out of Sunday's game vs. the Bengals with a concussion. It's his first documented concussion. His absence should mean a boost in playing time for TE Colston Loveland.
