Chicago Bears Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It's an upgrade over his limited participation last Wednesday. Swift seems to be trending in the right direction but remains a risky fantasy play until we actually see him get ample volume on a Sunday.

Bears TE Cole Kmet (thigh) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other details on the issue but haven't heard any concern about Kmet's availability for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. Check back tomorrow for another update on his status.

The Bears have placed RB Khalil Herbert on IR for the hip injury that knocked him out of Sunday's loss to the Lions. With rookie Tristan Ebner now the only other healthy RB on the roster, David Montgomery should be set up for plenty of work over at least the next 4 weeks, starting with a terrific matchup against the Falcons this week. We'll see about the expected return timeline for Herbert.

Chargers HC Brandon Staley labeled TE Gerald Everett "day to day" with the groin injury he suffered in the loss to the 49ers. Staley added that Everett is expected to practice at some point this week, which seemingly gives him a chance to be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. We'll track Everett's status throughout the week.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett is questionable to return to Sunday night's game vs. the 49ers with a groin injury. With TE Donald Parham on IR, Los Angeles is down to TE Tre McKitty.

Bears RB Khalil Herbert beat David Montgomery by 1 carry and 20 yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Lions. Herbert rushed 10 times for 57 yards, while Montgomery went for 37 yards on 9 attempts. Montgomery drew the only target between them, catching it for 7 yards. A Week 11 trip to Atlanta presents positive conditions for both players, though QB Justin Fields' rushing rebirth has lowered the ceiling for the RBs.

Bears TE Cole Kmet caught 4 balls for 74 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's narrow loss to the Lions. He drew a team-high 7 targets and accounted for the Bears' only 2 receiving scores, including 1 from 50 yards out. WR Darnell Mooney was the only other Chicago player to catch more than 1 ball. Mooney snagged all 4 of his targets for 57 yards. Atlanta presents a positive fantasy-scoring matchup for all aspects of the Bears offense in Week 11.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift continued to see limited work in Sunday's narrow victory over the Bears. He carried just 6 times for 6 yards but scored a 9-yard TD to boost his fantasy day. (That means, of course, that his other 5 rushes combined to lose 3 yards.) Swift added just 1 reception among 3 targets in a game that found only 3 Lions catching multiple passes. RB Jamaal Williams led the backfield once again with 16 carries for 59 yards and a TD. Justin Jackson claimed the backfield's other 3 targets, catching 2 for 14 yards. Swift declined to speak with the media last week and was reportedly angry with his low level of usage. We'll see if HC Dan Campbell reveals any change to his plan heading into next Sunday's visit to the Giants.

Bears RB Khalil Herbert was knocked out by a hip injury late in Sunday's loss to the Lions. We'll update his status when we know more.

Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel) is active for today's game against the Vikings. He carries some risk after putting in just 1 limited practice this week but is available for IDP use.

Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings. He put in just a limited Friday practice this week. LB Matt Milano is off the final injury report after finishing the week with a pair of full practices.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 10 injury report. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice after being limited the previous 2 days. That’s an improvement over last week – but it’s worth remembering that Swift was a full participant in all 3 practices leading up to Week 8, before getting just 5 carries and 5 targets. It’s certainly possible that Swift’s volume grows this weekend vs. the Bears, but he remains a low-floor fantasy play.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's a big long shot to play vs. the 49ers this weekend, again leaving Josh Palmer and DeAndre Carter as Los Angeles' top 2 WRs.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice. He's fully expected to play vs. the Bears this weekend, but it certainly doesn't look like he'll be ready for a full workload.

Bills LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin, heel), S Jordan Poyer (elbow) and EDGE Gregory Rousseau (ankle) all missed practice Wednesday. HC Sean McDermott called Edmunds and Poyer day-to-day afterward but deemed Rousseau week-to-week. That indicates Rousseau isn't likely to play Sunday against the Vikings. We'll see about the other 2. McDermott added that whether CB Tre'Davious White (ACL recovery) will be ready to play this week also remains a "day to day" situation.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. HC Brandon Staley called him "day to day," but don't count on Allen returning for Sunday night's game vs. the 49ers.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. That's an improvement from last week, when Swift did not practice at all on Wednesday. We'll continue to monitor Swift's health over the next few days, leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Bears.

Panthers WR D.J. Moore mustered only 24 yards on 6 targets in Sunday’s blowout loss to Cincinnati. P.J. Walker was benched at halftime, which brought Baker Mayfield back into the starting role. Moore’s dud ended a streak of 2 straight games with 19+ PPR points. Walker will start Thursday’s game against Atlanta, a rematch of Week 8. Moore popped off for 6-152-1 in that one.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett tallied 5 catches for 36 yards in a Week 9 win over Atlanta. He dropped 1 pass that would have gone for at least 20 yards. His 8 targets were right in line with expectation — but the yardage certainly underwhelmed. On 43 Justin Herbert pass attempts, Everett’s 8 targets actually tied for 3rd on the team with fill-in WR Michael Bandy. The TE should remain busy this week at San Francisco with Mike Williams (and likely Keenan Allen) sidelined.

Lions HC Dan Campbell said Monday that RB D'Andre Swift avoided a setback in Sunday's win over the Packers. Swift played just 16% of the offensive snaps in that one, finishing with 2 carries and 3 catches on 4 targets. "We're hopeful we can give him a little bit more this week," Campbell said. We'll monitor Swift's status this week, but he can't be considered more than a RB3 or flex play until we see his volume grow.
