Chicago Bears Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Lions HC Dan Campbell confirmed on Monday that RB D'Andre Swift could miss some time with his left shoulder injury. Campbell insinuated that Swift might be allowed to heal up through Detroit's Week 6 bye. That'd mean he'd miss the next 2 games vs. the Seahawks and Patriots. We'll continue to track the situation, but Swift owners should start making other plans for the next 2 weeks. Jamaal Williams figures to land in RB2 territory in our Week 4 Rankings.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift sprained his left shoulder in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Swift isn't expected to need surgery but "could miss some time," Pelissero adds. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but fantasy owners should plan on being without Swift at least for Week 4. His absence would turn RB Jamaal Williams into an RB2.

Bears RB Khalil Herbert racked up a 20-157-2 rushing line in Sunday's win over the Texans, taking over after RB David Montgomery left in the 1st quarter with a right-leg injury. HC Matt Eberflus called Montgomery "day to day" afterward, so we'll see about his status for Week 4. This might have been the kind of performance (including 7.9 yards per rush) that commands work for the 2nd-year back even when Montgomery's available. A Week 4 matchup with the Giants holds rushing upside as well, especially for an offense that looks vehemently opposed to throwing the ball: 37 run plays vs. 25 dropbacks in Week 3.

Lions RB D’Andre Swift "wasn’t using his left arm much" in the locker room after Sunday's loss to the Vikings, according to insider Dave Birkett. "Looked like he might have got treatment on his shoulder," Birkett adds. We'll look for an update on Swift on Monday and track his practice participation this week.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 4. WR Josh Palmer will again replace Allen today.

Colts EDGE Yannick Ngakoue (back) is active for today's game against the Chiefs. He's a lower-level IDP option anyway, though.

Bears WR Velus Jones (hamstring) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Texans. We’re expecting Darnell Mooney, Equanimeous St. Brown and Dante Pettis to again operate as Chicago’s top 3 WRs.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Vikings. He got in just 2 limited practices this week and was listed as questionable. But HC Dan Campbell said Wednesday that Swift's ankle was "feeling much better." And NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported this morning that Swift is expected to play a "bigger role" today than he did when he was limited to 7 touches last week.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero confirms that Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle) will play vs. the Vikings today. Pelissero adds that Swift is expected to play a "bigger role" in that one after being limited to just 7 touches in Week 2. He belongs in fantasy lineups as a RB1 with upside in today's plus matchup.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) "would like to try and play, but it's not certain he will." Allen was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday but sidelined on Friday. Between his hamstring injury and QB Justin Herbert's rib issue, Allen is a risky Week 3 fantasy option. We won't get the Chargers' inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET.

Colts DE Yannick Ngakoue (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. He'll be a lackluster IDP option even if active.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Like QB Justin Herbert, Allen went from limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday to no practice on Friday. HC Brandon Staley on Friday afternoon labeled Allen "50/50" to play against Jacksonville. We'll look for further updates on his status, but this game doesn't kick off until 4:05 pm ET on Sunday.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Vikings. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday. HC Dan Campbell said Wednesday that Swift's ankle was "feeling much better." We're fully expecting Swift to play on Sunday -- and for him to get much closer to a full workload than he did in Week 2.

Bears WR Velus Jones (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the Texans. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so perhaps he’ll be ready to make his debut in Week 4.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) got in his 2nd straight limited practice on Thursday. He's trending toward returning for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars, but we'll get another update on his status tomorrow.

Lions RB D'Andre Swift (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. He'll play vs. the Vikings this weekend. The question is if he'll be ready for something closer to a full workload than he got last week. We'll see what Swift does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. It gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars, but we'll continue to keep an eye on his progress over the next few days.

Lions HC Dan Campbell said Wednesday that RB D'Andre Swift's ankle is "feeling much better" this week than last. Swift won't practice on Wednesday, so he's clearly still not at 100%. But we're tentatively expecting something much closer to a full workload in this weekend's game vs. the Vikings.

Bears TE Cole Kmet failed to record a catch in a Week 2 loss at Green Bay. His lone target was dropped. That means that through 2 weeks, the young TE has a grand total of 2 targets…for 0 yards. He’s also outside the top-30 TEs in routes run (31). In theory, opportunities should come in a thin Bears passing game that'll likely continue playing from behind. But we’d have to see some signs of life from Kmet before considering him anything close to a TE streamer. He gets Houston at home in Week 3.

Panthers WR D.J. Moore tallied 3 grabs for 43 yards and 1 score in a Week 1 loss to the Giants. Moore saw a less-than-thrilling 20.6% target share on a day that turned up only 29 Baker Mayfield passes. Fortunately, Moore scored on an end zone target that found him dusting the CB. Through 2 games, Moore’s oddly posted a pair of games with 6 targets, 3 catches and 43 yards. Moore needs Baker Mayfield — and Carolina’s pass blocking — to improve dramatically if he’s to have a chance at reaching his upside.
