Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Texans. HC Matt Eberflus downplayed this heel injury on Wednesday, but it sounds like Allen didn’t progress throughout the week. We’ll see if he can make it back for Week 3’s meeting vs. the Colts.
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer labeled WR Keenan Allen (heel) as "doubtful" to play vs. the Texans tonight. It's been trending in this direction after Allen missed practice all week. Get him out of Week 2 fantasy lineups. WR Rome Odunze (knee) is seemingly on track to play tonight.
Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) is "tracking to play" vs. the Texans tonight, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It's been a speedy recovery for the rookie, who was sidelined on Wednesday and Thursday and limited in Friday's practice. Odunze said Friday that his injury is mostly a pain-tolerance issue. So it's possible that he winds up playing a full slate of snaps tonight. Still, the rookie would be tough to trust in fantasy lineups considering the injury and Chicago's Week 1 struggles on offense.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) "could be used more sparingly than usual" vs. the Texans tonight. That's assuming Allen plays at all. He's a game-time decision and will test that heel injury pre-game, per Schefter. We won't get Chicago's inactives until a little before 7 pm ET, and Allen would be a shaky fantasy play even if he suits up. He should be on Week 2 benches.
Bears WR Rome Odunze (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Texans. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing the previous two days. Fantasy owners still shouldn’t be counting on the rookie in Week 2 fantasy lineups, especially with the late kickoff. But Odunze clearly avoided a significant injury and should at least be back by Week 3.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Texans. HC Matt Eberflus downplayed Allen's injury on Wednesday, but Allen wound up missing all three practices. We'll look for further updates on Allen's Week 2 status. The late kickoff could make it a tricky situation for fantasy owners.
Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. HC Matt Eberflus downplayed the issue on Wednesday, calling Allen's absence then more of a rest day. But his status will be worth checking on again when we get Chicago's final injury report on Friday afternoon. The Bears, of course, will likely be without WR Rome Odunze (knee) for Sunday night's game vs. the Texans.
Bears WR Rome Odunze avoided a potential long-term knee injury during Week 1. He has been upgraded to day-to-day from week to week. HC Matt Eberflus indicated that it was not a serious injury. Odunze may be able to play in Week 2.

Bears QB Caleb Williams didn't get to 100 passing yards in his debut against the Titans on Sunday. He completed just 14 of 29 attempts (48%) for 93 yards (3.2 YPA), 0 TDs, and 0 INTs. Williams flashed his mobility and arm strength on a few occasions. And WR Keenan Allen dropped a would-be six-yard TD. But Williams missed multiple downfield throws and had a few passes batted down at the line of scrimmage.
Bears Edge Montez Sweat (toe) is active for today's game against the Titans. This seemed likely after he finished the week with a full Friday practice. Go ahead and play Sweat as planned in an upside matchup.
Bears RB Roschon Johnson is a healthy scratch for today's opener vs. the Titans. That leaves RBs D'Andre Swift, Khalil Herbert, and Travis Homer dressed for Chicago. We'll see what the workload split looks like under new OC Shane Waldron, but Swift is the only viable Week 1 fantasy play. We'd expect Johnson to work into the backfield mix if Swift or Herbert miss time this season, but he's droppable in shallow fantasy leagues.

The heel shouldn't be an issue in today's season opener.
Bears Edge Montez Sweat is questionable for Sunday's opener against the Titans with a toe injury. He finished the week with a full practice, though, after limited workouts Wednesday and Thursday.

The Bears have also deemed Edge Darrell Taylor (foot) and DT Demarcus Walker (groin) questionable.

Bears TE Cole Kmet caught one of two targets from QB Caleb Williams for 26 yards in Saturday's preseason game vs. the Bills. But the big story was Kmet's usage. He and TE Gerald Everett split time, with both running a route on five of Williams' eight dropbacks (62.5%). Everett actually out-snapped Kmet 14 to 11.
Bears RB D'Andre Swift has been a camp standout, particularly in the passing game, according to The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain.
