        Cole Kmet's Absence Could Boost Luther Burden

        Cole Kmet's Absence Could Boost Luther Burden

        Bears TE Cole Kmet will be placed on season-ending IR with the right knee injury he suffered in Thursday's win over the Patriots, HC Ben Johnson announced. We're still waiting for details on the injury. While Kmet hasn't been a fantasy factor, he played 65% of Chicago's offensive snaps and ran a route on 37% of pass plays through Week 6. That's a sizable role that needs replacing. Rookie Sam Roush will step in as the Bears' No. 2 TE but might not assume all of Kmet's work. We might see fewer 2- and 3-TE sets from the Bears, which would be particularly good news for WR Luther Burden. Burden has run a route on just 32% of multi-TE plays so far this season.

        Bears QB Tyson Bagent will start Sunday's game vs. the Jets, The Athletic's Dan Wiederer reports. QB Case Keenum played well in last week's win over the Eagles, but Bagent won the No. 2 job this offseason, and the Bears remain high on his potential.

        Burden led the Bears in targets for the second straight week in a 27-7 primetime win. He hauled in seven of his 11 targets for 61 yards and a TD along with a 7 yard rush attempt for a fringe WR1 finish to Week 3. It marks his highest scoring week of the young season and matches the second-highest of his career.

        Bears QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Eagles. He didn't practice all week and should be considered iffy at best for Week 4. QB Tyson Bagent (concussion) is listed as questionable after a full practice on Saturday. If he avoids a setback between now and kickoff, he should get the start. Otherwise it'll be QB Case Keenum at the controls. Either way, it's tough to feel good about any Bears pass catchers in fantasy lineups against a stout Eagles secondary.

        Bears QB Tyson Bagent has been cleared to practice Saturday, HC Ben Johnson said. It's a surprise after Bagent didn't practice at all yesterday. QB Caleb Williams (hamstring) remains sidelined on Saturday, putting Bagent on track to start Monday night's game vs. the Eagles, barring a setback. Consider that a slight upgrade from QB Case Keenum, but it's still a brutal spot for the backup QB vs. a tough Philly defense.
