Fantasy Football News

The Ringer's Tom Pelissero reports that Bears QB Caleb Williams avoided a major hamstring injury and that the team is not even ruling him out for Week 3. We'd be surprised if Williams played vs. the Eagles next Monday night, but that extra day of rest won't hurt. If nothing else, it sounds like Williams will not be out for long. We'll keep a close eye on his status throughout the week, but fantasy managers should still be lining up another option for Week 3. QB Tyson Bagent will start for as long as Williams is out. He's not a viable QB1 against Philadelphia this week.

Update: HC Ben Johnson said Monday that it "sounds like it's gonna be a week-to-week deal" for Williams.

Bears QB Caleb Williams went down untouched with an apparent leg injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Vikings. He was visibly upset as he was helped off the field by trainers and then carted back to the locker room. We'll update Williams' status when we know more. QB Tyson Bagent has replaced Williams.

Update: The Bears say Williams has a hamstring injury. We'll look for details on the severity.

Bears WR Luther Burden returned to practice on Monday, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune. The rookie missed time this spring and early in training camp with a hamstring injury.
