Kyle Monangai

CHI Running Back #25

Bears coach Ben Johnson said Kyle Monangai (thumb) is “going to be OK” and that it was a “day to day deal.”

Monangai seemingly winds up on the injury report every other week, but he keeps playing and keeps playing well. We wouldn’t be surprised to see him listed again this week, but it sounds like he’s very much in line to play against the Packers.
Caleb Williams

CHI Quarterback #18

Caleb Williams will not play in Week 5 against the Packers.

Williams is at least one more week away from returning from the hamstring injury he suffered in Week 2. The Bears will again start Tyson Bagent in Week 5 against the Bears after Bagent looked solid in his first start since 2023. Bagent threw for 268 scoreless yards against the Jets, completing 73.5 percent of his passes while throwing zero touchdowns and one interception. We’ll see if Williams gets any closer to playing when the Bears visit the Falcons in Week 6.
Tyson Bagent

CHI Quarterback #17

Bears head coach Ben Johnson said Tyson Bagent will start in Week 5 against the Packers.

We assumed this was where things were heading after Bagent turned in a solid outing in his first start against the Jets. Bagent has been the QB2 on the Bears’ depth chart throughout the season and only missed Week 3’s start against the Eagles because he spent most of the week in the league’s concussion protocol. Bagent threw for 268 yards and one interception in Sunday’s win over the Jets and will have some appeal in 2QB/Superflex leagues, especially with the Chiefs and Panthers both on byes in Week 5.
Cole Kmet

CHI Tight End #85

Cole Kmet caught both of his targets for 13 yards in the Bears’ Week 4 win against the Jets.

Colston Loveland, meanwhile, led the Bears with nine targets in Tyson Bagent’s first start. Kmet has had solid route participation numbers thanks to the Bears’ heavy use of two tight end sets. Even so, he should be left on waiver wires unless or until Loveland misses time. Kmet now has four receptions on the season.
D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

D’Andre Swift had15 rushes for 58 yards in the Bears’ Week 4 win against the Jets, adding two catches for 16 yards.

Swift was playing his usual lead back role in the run-first Chicago offense when he lost a fumble in the second half and did not return to action, ceding the backfield to Kyle Monangai, who ended the game with 30 rushes for 146 yards. Swift, who has been struggling with a knee injury, was stuffed twice at the goal line in the first half. It was looking like a big day against a gettable New York run defense. If Swift misses time, Monangai would be a must-play option in all formats. The Bears take on the Packers in Week 5.
Tyson Bagent

CHI Quarterback #17

Tyson Bagent completed 25-of-34 attempts for 268 yards and one interception in the Bears’ Week 4 win against the Jets, adding four rushes for one yard.

Getting the start after Case Keenum led the Bears to victory in Week 3 against the Eagles, Bagent successfully managed the run-heavy Bears offense. He was inaccurate for stretches of the game, throwing at least two balls that should have been intercepted by the New York secondary. On the day he was 8 percent over his expected completion rate. Bagent targeted Rom Odunze a team-high nine times. He connected with Colston Loveland and Luther Burden III a handful of times on well-times throws to the middle of the field. Bagent will get another start in Week 5 against the Packers with Caleb Williams sidelined. He’ll have some superflex appeal in that matchup.
Roschon Johnson

CHI Running Back #23

Roschon Johnson had four rushes for 16 yards in the Bears’ Week 4 win against the Jets, adding one catch for seven yards.

Johnson saw an uptick in usage after D’Andre Swift did not re-enter the ballgame following a second half fumble. While Kyle Monangai led the Chicago backfield with 30 carries, Johnson served as the breather back. He won’t have any fantasy value unless both Swift and Monangai miss time, however.
Rome Odunze

CHI Wide Receiver #15

Rome Odunze caught 6-of-7 targets for 94 yards in the Bears’ Week 4 win against the Jets.

Tyson Bagent, making his first NFL start, locked on to his boundary wideout in the first half, hitting Odunze for a couple long gains, including a nicely-placed 37 yarder. Odunze was second on the team in targets behind Colston Loveland, who saw nine looks on the day. Odunze is leading the Bears offense in air yards and profiles as a high-variance weekly fantasy option in an offense that leans toward the run. Odunze will be a solid flex option in Week 5 against a Green Bay secondary that struggles against boundary receivers.
Colston Loveland

CHI Tight End #84

Colston Loveland caught 6-of-9 targets for 57 yards in the Bears’ Week 4 win over the Jets.

Loveland led the Chicago offense in targets and was third — behind Rome Odunze and Luther Burden — in receiving yards with Tyson Bagent under center. Bagent found Loveland on a couple pinpoint middle-of-the-field throws in the first half before the Bears turned hard toward the run in the second half. Loveland now has ten receptions over his past two games after a miserable start to the year. You probably won’t find a better waiver wire tight end in Week 5, when Loveland takes on the Packers.
Luther Burden

CHI Wide Receiver #10

Luther Burden III caught 4-of-6 targets for 63 yards in the Bears’ Week 4 win against the Jets, adding one rush for 11 yards.

It was a fine outing for Burden after he showed signs of life in Week 3’s win over the Eagles. Burden was second on the team in targets, trailing Rome Odunze’s seven looks from Tyson Bagent. He ran a few more pass routes than Kalif Raymond, who had two grabs for six yards. Chicago operating as a run-first team is going to necessarily limit Burden’s opportunities, but he should suffice as a WR3/4 in the coming weeks. That includes next week against a middling Green Bay secondary.
