Chicago Bears Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

The Bears have already ruled S Jaquan Brisker out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London. He didn't travel with the team after suffering a concussion in the Week 5 win over Carolina. Brisker passed a concussion check during that game and returned but then reported symptoms Monday.

Bears WR DJ Moore finally had a breakout performance catching five of eight targets for 105 yards and two TDs. He and Williams seemed to finally connect.

Bears RB Roschon Johnson ran 10 times for 25 yards and two TDs in a solid performance. He is clearly back behind RB D’Andre Swift who ran 21 times for 73 yards and a TD along with two catches for 47 yards.

Bears QB Caleb Williams had his second career 300-yard passing performance completing 20 of 29 for 304 yards and two TDs. He also ran five times for 34 yards. Williams shows he has solid fantasy potential moving forward against good match-ups.

Bears WR Keenan Allen tied rookie WR Rome Odunze with six targets, but Allen only caught three passes for 33 yards while Odunze caught five for 40 yards. Allen may still be ramping up moving forward, but it is clear he will split fairly evenly with the rookie.

Bears WR D.J. Moore recorded 3 catches, 22 yards, and 1 score in Sunday's win over the Rams. His 6 targets ranked second on the team (26%).

Bears RB D'Andre Swift rushed 16 times for 93 yards and 1 score in Sunday's win over the Rams. The breakout game included team-highs in targets (7), catches (7) and receiving yards (72).

Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so Allen should be ready for a full slate of snaps. He led Chicago with 11 targets in the opener (although he caught just four for 29 yards).

Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is expected to play vs. the Rams today, HC Matt Eberflus said. That's seemed likely since Allen put in a full workout on Friday. There's some added risk here with Allen coming off a two-game absence. But he drew 11 targets in the opener and gets a leaky Rams secondary today. See where Allen lands in the Week 4 WR Rankings.

Bears WR Rome Odunze (hip) is not listed on the final Week 4 injury report. He was limited in Thursday’s practice but a full-go on Friday. The rookie should be ready for his usual role vs. the Rams this weekend, although WR Keenan Allen’s likely return adds target competition.

Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Rams. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so Allen seems likely to return for this one. He led Chicago with 11 targets in the opener (although he caught just four for 29 yards).

Bears WR Rome Odunze was added to Thursday's injury report with a hip. He was limited in practice. We don't have any other details on the rookie's injury right now. We'll see if Odunze practices on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Rams.

"Watch for Bears running back Roschon Johnson to possibly get an extended look this week," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler wrote on Wednesday. It doesn't exactly read like a set-in-stone report, but Fowler wouldn't write it without having some sort of intel from the Bears. And it certainly makes sense considering RB D'Andre Swift has been the least effective runner in the NFL through three weeks. He's averaging 1.8 yards per carry and ranks dead last among 50 qualifying RBs in NFL Next Gen Stats' rush yards over expected per attempt. Swift posted season lows last week in snap rate (53%), carry share (46%), and route rate (50%) -- and it sounds like he's set to lose more work. Swift should be on fantasy benches for Week 4. You'd ideally wait to see Johnson's role expand before starting him, but he should be rostered in all fantasy leagues of 12+ teams and even most 10-teamers.

Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. "He's tracking to return this week if all goes well," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted.

Bears QB Caleb Williams posted a fantasy breakout in Week 3, notching 363 yards, 2 TDs, and 2 INTs. Williams was boosted by a massive 52 pass attempts.

Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. It's a downgrade from last week, when Allen was questionable on the final injury report before winding up inactive. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 4. His absence this weekend adds target upside to WRs D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze. We also saw TE Cole Kmet's routes and targets climb with Allen out last week.

Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) did not practice on Thursday. That's five straight missed practices for the 32-year-old. He seems unlikely to play against the Colts this weekend, but we'll get another update on Allen's status tomorrow afternoon.

Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. He missed all three practices last week before winding up inactive for the Texans game. Allen's status for Sunday's game vs. the Colts is up in the air. We'll see if he gets back on the field tomorrow.

Bears WR D.J. Moore had a final stat line of six catches on 10 targets for 53 yards against the Texans. He was the preferred target of rookie QB Caleb WIlliams, but it wasn’t enough to give Moore a solid fantasy day due to the lack of consistent accuracy from his QB.

Bears QB Caleb Williams did better than Week 1, but he still struggled completing 23 of his 37 passes for 174 yards and two interceptions. He also ran five times for 44 yards, leading the team in rushing. The Texans blitzed Williams, forcing him into short passes and mistakes throughout the game. Though Keenan Allen was inactive, it has been a rough start for the top pick in the NFL Draft.
