Bears WR D.J. Moore (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He was full-go in Friday’s practice, so we’re not expecting the ankle to be a problem today. Moore is safe to use as you normally would.

Bears S Jaquan Brisker (groin) is active for today's game against the Browns. Use him as planned in your IDP lineups.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Browns today, ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms. Moore was a full-go in Friday's practice, so we're not expecting the ankle to be a significant factor today.

Bears S Jaquan Brisker (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns. Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports that Brisker "tweaked" his groin in Wednesday's practice but "seems to be doing better" after sitting out Thursday's workout. We'll check Brisker's status ahead of the game.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He went from no practice on Wednesday to a limited practice on Thursday to full participation on Friday. We’re expecting Moore to play his usual role this weekend but will look for further updates on his status.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Browns this weekend, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

The Chargers ruled out WR Keenan Allen (heel) for Week 15. This marks his first missed game since last season. In his place, the Chargers will rely on Josh Palmer and Quentin Johnston at WR. It’s an ugly spot for fill-in QB Easton Stick and the entire offense, especially for a divisional road game on a short week. We’d try to avoid using anyone not named Austin Ekeler in the L.A. offense. As of this writing, the team is implied for only 16 points.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to make it out of last week's game vs. the Lions okay, so we're assuming this is more of a maintenance day. But Moore's status bears monitoring over the next few days.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (heel) did not practice on Tuesday. We don't have any other details on the heel issue. We'll see if Allen practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report for Thursday night's game vs. the Raiders.

Eagles RB D’Andre Swift was stymied by the Cowboys’ run defense in Week 14, ending the contest with just 39 yards on 11 carries. He was also blanked in the receiving department, getting 0 targets for the first time this season. Swift’s 3.9 PPR points on Sunday mark his lowest output since Week 1 and his third consecutive game under double digits. As frustrating as he’s been, there’s good news: The Eagles’ remaining schedule ranks third-easiest for RBs per our adjusted fantasy points allowed and features two matchups against defenses (Giants, Cardinals) who rank within the top five of rushing yards per game allowed in 2023. Don’t give up on Swift just yet.

Bears TE Cole Kmet tallied 5 receptions for 66 yards in Sunday's win over the Lions. His 7 targets tied for second on the team, behind only WR D.J. Moore. That also marked his second straight 7-target game and fifth such outing among the past six games. That span has covered multiple games with both QBs, Justin Fields and Tyson Bagent. Kmet has averaged 6 receptions per game over that six-week span, making him an easy weekly starter at a position that's been tough for many fantasy teams all season. The Bears do get tough TE matchups the next two weeks in Cleveland and Arizona. But Jacksonville's Evan Engram had a good outing vs. the Browns on Sunday. And the Cardinals aren't scary against anyone. A Week 17 matchup with the Falcons has been positive for TE scoring.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but didn’t sound worried about the quad injury. We’re expecting him to play his usual high-volume role today.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (quad) is expected to play vs. the Patriots today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Allen only got in a limited practice on Friday, but there never seemed to be any concern about his availability for this one. He should stay glued into fantasy lineups.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (quad) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Patriots. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but didn’t sound worried about the quad injury. "This is light, honestly,” Allen said Friday. “Thigh contusion is like a solid nick. That’s considered not bad. … I feel great. This late in the season, I couldn't ask to be feeling any better." Allen can stay penciled into Week 13 fantasy lineups. We’ll get the Chargers’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (quad) missed practice again on Thursday. The Athletic's Daniel Popper did spot Allen working off to the side of practice. We're still expecting Allen to play vs. the Patriots this weekend, but his status is certainly worth checking back on Friday afternoon.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (quad) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury, but one we're not particularly worried about after Allen's 14-catch performance on a 98% snap rate last week. We'll see if Allen gets back on the practice field tomorrow.

Though Week 12's showdown between the Bears and Vikings didn't provide much entertainment, it did shed some light on Chicago's backfield situation. Rookie RB Roschon Johnson ended Monday night with a season-high 75 scrimmage yards on 15 touches. He played on 74.6% of the team's snaps, including all 13 third-down situations. Before this contest, Johnson had never played on over 50% of the Bears' offensive snaps and had just two games with more than 10 touches. His teammate and typical starter Khalil Herbert took a back seat and only played on 15 snaps in the game, seeing 6 carries and 2 catches for a combined 38 yards. Herbert did start but got less than half as many snaps as he played in his Week 11 return from IR -- despite D'Onta Foreman being inactive -- and lost work as a runner and receiver. And there's been no indication of a re-injury or other physical limitation for Herbert. It's just one game, but we'll have to at least enter Week 14 (after the bye) assuming Johnson will now work ahead of Herbert. We'll see about Foreman's availability, after he managed two limited practices ahead of Monday night's game.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett (chest) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Ravens. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice, so the chest shouldn’t be much of an issue. But the matchup with Baltimore’s ninth-ranked TE defense leaves Everett as a weak fantasy play.

ESPN's Adam Schefter calls Chargers TE Gerald Everett (chest) "likely" to play vs. the Ravens tonight, "barring any pre-game setbacks." Everett was a full participant in Friday's practice. He should return as Los Angeles' lead TE but isn't a recommended fantasy starter against Baltimore's ninth-ranked TE defense.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett (chest) is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Ravens. He was a full-go in Friday’s practice, which likely puts him on track to play. In that case, neither Everett nor Donald Parham will be a recommended fantasy starter against Baltimore’s ninth-ranked TE defense.
