Chicago Bears

Woods was considered questionable with the ankle injury despite practicing fully all week, so it's not much of a surprise he's suiting up Sunday. The 24-year-old has exclusively played special teams in his two appearances this season.

In a game the Bears struggled to move the ball against the Rams, Santos had a quiet night, though he made his only field-goal attempt of the contest. After scoring 19 points over his previous two games, Santos reverted to the low scoring floor he had shown over the first three games of the season. He'll likely be an erratic fantasy option, especially since he kicks for an inconsistent offense.

Chicago would need to remove Pineiro from IR before he can play, and Cairo Santos will continue to fill in as long as Pineiro remains sidelined. The Bears have a short week before facing the Buccaneers on Thursday in Week 5, so Pineiro will be hard-pressed to heal up in time for that one.

Edwards was a late addition to the injury report Saturday and was listed as questionable, but he'll be available for Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old has played only 22 defensive snaps in the past two games and is unlikely to play a major role versus Indianapolis.

The Bears have regularly allowed Mack rest days this season, so as long as he's able to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints there won't be much reason for concern about his availability. The star pass rusher has notched a sack in five of his last six games.

Despite his big play, Houston-Carson has just three tackles on the season and doesn't have enough of a role to be considered a reliable IDP option.

Ridley will take a seat for the second straight game to begin the season after he played five games as a rookie in 2019. Barring injuries, it's unlikely that Ridley will make a significant impact from a fantasy perspective in his sophomore season. Darnell Mooney and Javon Wims will handle depth receiving duties Sunday.

Crawford was let go to make room for newly signed safety Montre Hartage. The rookie cornerback didn't make much of an impact in his month with Miami, appearing in only one game.

Spriggs didn't practice Saturday but has been cleared to play in the primetime matchup. The 26-year-old lineman has yet to log an offensive snap this season but will continue to add depth for the unit.

Coward was considered questionable despite practicing fully in the final two sessions of the week. He started last week's game against the Panthers at left guard and could retain that role Monday.

The Bears have the left side of their offensive line locked down for years to come, as both Leno Jr. and left guard Kyle Long are now under contract through the 2021 season.

Miller was targeted just once in the first half, but with the Bears trailing throughout the second half, he ended up with five targets, including one in the end zone that was broken up, keeping him from posting a respectable fantasy performance. Over the last four games, he's averaging 18 yards without scoring a touchdown, and until he turns things around, he won't be a recommended fantasy option.

McManis rarely plays on defense, but his absence will hurt the Bears' safety depth, especially with Deon Bush (hamstring) also considered questionable. If Bush sits out as well, Deandre Houston-Carson is expected to handle increased duties at safety.

Despite being listed as the No. 2 option on Chicago's RB depth chart, Nall has only been granted a total of 12 offensive snaps through Week 4 of 2020. He remains with one offensive touch on the season, a two-yard reception, as the Bears instead elected to lean on receivers Cordarrelle Patterson (three carries) and Darnell Mooney (one carry) as rushing alternatives behind starting back David Montgomery during Sunday's loss.

Per Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic, the Bears waived Roberson with a non-football injury designation Tuesday. Afterward, it was revealed Roberson suffered a broken foot while training for the season, according to Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site. Per the terms of the CBA, Roberson won't be allowed to practice until six weeks of the regular season have passed and can't be activated to the active roster until Week 9 at Tennessee. Whenever he's able to take the field, he'll be making his NFL debut.

Foles was under pressure all night, leading to a disappointing performance. Although he had the Bears deep in the red zone twice, on one occasion, he threw an interception on a pass to Darnell Mooney, and on the other possession, he took a sack on a fourth-down play. With one or fewer touchdown passes in each of his last four games, he's best used as a fantasy option in leagues that start two quarterbacks.

Bray was on the Bears' roster but inactive in Week 4 against the Colts. It was the first time Bray was promoted to the active roster this season. He can revert to the practice squad on one more occasion during the 2020 campaign.

After recording just 11 tackles over the Bears' first three games, Trevathan has heated up by recording 18 stops over the last two weeks. As long as he continues to perform at this recent level, he should be considered a strong IDP option.

This marks the third time in the last three weeks the Bears have waived the 26-year-old. He has suited up in each of the last three games and has seen snaps on both defense and special teams in that span, only to be let go after the games were over. If Isaiah Irving (quad) sits again, Vaughters would once again be a candidate to rejoin the team.

With Robert Quinn back in the lineup, Mingo will serve as a rotational pass rusher, making him a low-floor option in IDP leagues.

Adams was cut by the Bears on Saturday as the team trimmed down to its final roster. Sticking on the practice squad will give him an opportunity to keep growing in Chicago.

Teo' is set for a bigger role with Kiko Alonso (quadriceps) ruled out. Since joining the team in Week 14, Te'o has logged a combined 12 snaps through two contests and recorded one tackle.

Clark suffered a shoulder injury during training camp, however, it's unclear if that's the reason for his placement. The USC product will now have to wait until 2021 to make an NFL roster, and he'll spend the season on the team's IR barring an injury settlement.

The 33-year-old figures to be an insurance option at punt returner, with Ted Ginn not impressing through the first seven games of the season. Harris has only eight catches for 60 yards in 39 games since the 2015 season, so he's unlikely to have much of an offensive roles if promoted to the active roster.

Hicks collected his first sack since Week 3, though he now has 4.5 on the season. On the season, he's averaging fewer than 3.5 tackles, and unless he can start to boost his tackle totals while getting on another sack streak, he'll be a low-upside IDP option.

With the Bears trailing for most of this contest, the Rams were able to run the ball often, leading Smith to compile a team high in tackles. He's now posted at least eight tackles in three of his last four games, and he's performing as a consistent high-floor IDP option.

The 29-year-old played only 18 of 63 offensive snaps, so he was moderately involvement in the passing game despite limited snaps. It was Harris' lowest snap total of the year as he continues to operate in a depth role. He has seven catches for 45 yards through seven games and is unlikely to be much of a factor in fantasy even if starter Jimmy Graham were to suffer an injury.

Horsted came in handy last season when the Bears' tight-end depth took a hit, as he played in six games and caught eight of 10 targets for 87 yards and a touchdown. The Bears brought in reinforcements at tight end this offseason, though, signing Jimmy Graham and drafting Cole Kmet in the second round, so Horsted will look for a new opportunity elsewhere.

The move means the 25-year-old either has the virus himself or was recently in close contact with an infected individual. Joseph has been on injured reserve with an unspecified injury since the end of August and won't be eligible to play this season without reaching an injury settlement.

Trubisky was benched during Sunday's game against the Falcons after an erratic first half, in which he completed 13 of 21 passes for 128 yards and a score (while also adding one rush for 45 yards). Nick Foles was efficient upon taking the field, and he led the Bears to a comeback win while tossing three touchdowns and a single interception, so it doesn't come as much of a shock to see Trubisky officially lose his job. It remains to be seen whether the 2017 No. 2 overall pick, who is scheduled to become a free agent in 2021, will get another chance to prove himself under center in Chicago.

The Bears tendered the 26-year-old as a restricted free agent in March, and he'll remain with the team after not receiving an offer sheet from another team. Robertson-Harris had 30 total tackles and 2.5 sacks in 15 games last season.

Montgomery struggled to get much going on the ground against a swarming Los Angeles front seven. Fortunately, though, the tailback picked up a handful of receptions, including a few with the Bears chasing the game late. Montgomery has now caught at least four passes in three straight outings, but with an average of just 45 rushing yards per game over that span, there's ground production left to be desired. However, the sledding doesn't appear any more favorable for Montgomery in Week 8, as he's pitted against a Saints defense that's currently allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game.

Fuller came up big by picking off Matthew Stafford in the fourth quarter, giving the Bears a chance to pull off the comeback victory. After posting a career-high 82 tackles last year, Fuller's season is off to a strong start, and he should continue to be a solid weekly option in IDP leagues.

Davis was a victim of final roster cuts Saturday, but he'll now get a chance to stick with the Bears and continue his development.

Nichols is averaging fewer than two tackles per game, and unless he sees a spike in production, his IDP value will remain minimal.

The 35-year-old played only four offensive snaps, with his most notable contribution of the evening was watching Rams' punter Johnny Hekker pinning the Bears inside their own 20-yard line on all five of his boots. Ginn has played single-digit offensive snaps in each of the past four games and clearly has no worthwhile role in the passing attack.

Ives never had much of a chance to crack Chicago's initial regular-season roster, but he'll get a shot to stick around the team and continue to develop. He also spent time on the Bears' practice squad last season.

As evidenced by this news, Traore turned in two negative COVID-19 test results at least 24 hours apart in order to rejoin football activities. He'll return to the team's practice squad to push for a 53-man roster spot around the league.

It's unclear how Bond suffered the injury, but he was forced to exit the contest on the first drive of the game. With Bond sidelined, look for James Vaughters to see an uptick in snaps on special teams.

Kmet is coming off the best game of his young career, having hauled in both his targets for 45 yards during Monday's loss to the Rams, but he appears to have also injured his back in the contest. The rookie tight end will work to resume practicing in full ahead of Sunday's tilt against the Saints.

Miller remains on Chicago's practice squad, and Nagy's words suggest that the running back might still be getting up to speed physically in his recovery from a torn ACL. Once the team deems Miller ready, he should be elevated to the 53-man roster and join a thin backfield headlined by David Montgomery and jack-of-all-trades Cordarrelle Patterson.

After missing the season opener with an ankle injury, the team finally got Quinn on the field, and he didn't waste any time making an impact when he sacked Daniel Jones. He's coming off a season in which he posted 11.5 sacks while playing across from DeMarcus Lawrence, and it's hopeful that he'll have a similar impact while playing across from Khalil Mack.

The 2018 seventh-round pick played 29 percent of offensive snaps -- his highest snap share since Week 2 -- but he was minimally involved in the passing game. It was also Wims' first reception since Week 2, as he is clearly an afterthought in the aerial attack as the No. 4 wideout.

Trumbetti was waived/injured by Chicago in August but went unclaimed on waivers and spent the 2018 season on the team's injured reserve list. Now presumably healthy, he'll look to find a home elsewhere this offseason.

Gipson comes to Chicago from Tulsa, where he was a two-year starter on the edge. Long-armed and tall at 6-foot-3 with 33.88-inch arms, Gipson has good take-on tools and good burst for his size. He had 15.0 tackles for loss and 8.0 sacks as a redshirt senior in 2019. He profiles as an outside linebacker in the Bears' scheme behind Robert Quinn and Barkevious Mingo, with Khalil Mack holding things down on the other side of the formation.

Iyiegbuniwe was limited to begin the week, but he now appears back to full health. He's set for his usual role on special teams during Sunday's tilt against the Saints.

Urban joined the Bears last October after being released by the Titans. The 6-7, 300-pounder subsequently logged 16 tackles in nine games as a reserve defensive end with Chicago. He's in line to continue in that role in 2020.

This move wasn't a surprise, as the Iowa product suffered a season-ending pectoral tear in last Thursday's win over Tampa Bay. Daniels will now rest up and get healthy for the 2021 campaign, as the Bears look to lean on Alex Bars to start at left guard for the remainder of the season.

Whitehair left the contest late in the third quarter. The severity of the injury has yet to be disclosed.

Cohen suffered a season-ending torn ACL during Sunday's win over the Falcons, so his placement on IR was only ever a matter of time. The move leaves Ryan Nall as the top backup to David Montgomery, though Cordarrelle Patterson is a likely candidate to see increased backfield snaps with Cohen out. The Bears may also see fit to promote Artavis Pierce from the practice squad.

Scales has appeared in 16 games for the Bears in three of the last four years, as he missed the 2017 season with a torn ACL. The 32-year-old is poised to serve as Chicago's long snapper again in 2020.

Ifedi was dealing with an undisclosed issue during training camp, but as evidenced by this news, he's ready to play and handle duties as the team's starting right guard Sunday.

Burns will miss the entire 2020 campaign due to a torn ACL suffered during Tuesday's practice. The 2016 first-round pick was looking for a chance to revitalize his career in Chicago, but he's now set to become a free agent in 2021 without having played a snap for the team.

Graham was a non-factor while the game was close, but he was able to haul in four of his five passes in the second half to salvage his fantasy day. Even though the Bears were deep in the red zone on two different occasions, he didn't see any of Nick Foles' end zone targets. He's now posted between 31 and 34 yards in each of his last four games while finding the end zone once during that span, and although he has a moderate floor, his fantasy value is usually derived from his ability to score touchdowns.

Robinson was injured late in Monday's loss to the Rams, finishing the game with four receptions for 70 yards. While the wideout won't practice Wednesday, the Bears will hold out hope that Robinson can clear the protocol ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Holtz played 14 games for the Bears last season and started seven of them. He was used mainly as a blocker but did log seven receptions for 91 yards. His role is not expected to be expanded in 2021, as the team brought in veteran Jimmy Graham for No. 1 tight end duties.

With the Bears trailing for most of the game, Mooney saw three deep passes, but he was unable to haul any of them in. He actually was open for a potential 95-yard touchdown, but Nick Foles was under heavy pressure and he was unable to get the ball out on time. Even though the production hasn't been impressive during his rookie season, Mooney is averaging 6.5 targets over his last four games, and if he can get on the same page with his quarterback, he could see an increase in fantasy value as the season progresses.

Jackson appears to have picked up a knee injury during Monday's loss to the Rams, in which he scooped up a fumble and returned it for a touchdown. It's encouraging to see that the starting free safety wasn't held out entirely, at least. He'll work to upgrade to full participation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints.

With Kyle Fuller being a strong cornerback on the other side of the field, Johnson could see opposing quarterbacks pick on him quite a bit, which may lead to plenty of performances like the one he had in Week 1. It's quite possible that the rookie quickly emerges as a strong weekly IDP option.

The Georgia Southern product becomes the team's second cornerback selected this draft, although unlike Jaylon Johnson, there are plenty of question marks surrounding Vildor. He certainly seems to have good coverage instincts, but Vildor never showcased himself as a willing tackler, and his size/speed combination is unremarkable. At the minimum, he's an intriguing prospect in a Bears secondary that was lacking in 2019.

The 31-year-old garnered 49 combined defensive snaps Weeks 1 and 2, but he served an IR stint between Weeks 3 and 5 because of a thumb injury. He started five times last year for Miami but has so far served as a depth option during his second tour with the Bears. Jenkins will be available for snaps behind starting nose tackle Bilal Nichols, as Chicago looks to contain Carolina's 14th-ranked rush attack.

The 24-year-old back out of Oregon State was called up to Chicago's 53-man roster Tuesday, though the Bears have elected to roll with David Montgomery and Ryan Nall as the team's only active RBs heading into Week 4. Cordarrelle Patterson may continue to get some run, as he already has 15 rush attempts through three games, but Pierce remains in search of his first NFL carry.

O'Donnell recorded 62 punts for 2,791 yards last season, with an average of 45 yards per punt. The five-year pro has spent the entirety of his career with the Bears,and now remains signed with the team through 2020.

The Bears signed McCullers when they placed John Jenkins (thumb) on injured reserve, but with Jenkins returning from IR, McCullers was shown the door. McCullers didn't suit up in a game during his three-week stint with the Bears.

Patterson appears to have picked up an injury during Monday's 24-10 loss to the Rams, in which he had six offensive touches and returned four kickoffs. If the veteran special-teams ace were forced to miss any time, Darnell Mooney would stand to handle kick returns while Ryan Nall could see some snaps behind David Montgomery.

Massie, who missed the last five games of the 2019 season due to a high-ankle sprain, should benefit from a full offseason of recuperation as he prepares for a fifth straight year as Chicago's starting right tackle. It still remains to be seen whether he'll line up alongside Rashaad Coward or Germain Ifedi, who stand to battle for the No. 1 right guard gig during training camp.

Gipson now has a pair of interceptions this season while averaging six tackles over the last four weeks, and he's shown a solid scoring floor, making him a reliable IDP option.

Bush missed the last two games but is back in the fold after practicing fully Saturday. The fifth-year safety out of Miami (Fla.) typically only plays on defense in clear passing situations, and with starting safeties Tashaun Gipson and Eddie Jackson healthy, Bush likely will remain in a reserve role Monday.

Skrine didn't practice until Saturday when he logged a limited session, but he'll play through the injury in the primetime game. The 31-year-old cornerback has logged at least 63 percent of the defensive snap share in each game this season, and he's slated for a similar workload Monday against a strong set of Rams receivers.
