Bears have no plans to shut down QB Justin Fields

Dec 27, 2022

Bears quarterback Justin Fields had his foot stepped on at the end of Saturday’s 35-13 loss to the Bills. He also aggravated his left shoulder injury.

But Fields is “good to go” for Sunday’s game in Detroit, coach Matt Eberflus said. And despite the 3-12 record, there are no plans to shut Fields down for the rest of the season.

Fantasy Impact:

Eberflus said the team needs to get better as his reason for keeping Fields on the field. He also added he wants Fields to improve. The Bears conclude their season with two divisional games so it will be a good test to see where the team is at going forward. The Bears play the Lions and Vikings and both teams have given up their share of fantasy points to QBs, especially through the air.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
