D'Andre Swift was not listed among the Bears inactives for Monday Night Football.

Related players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, Darrynton Evans

It's a tough matchup for Swift who should see a nice workload against the Vikings at least. Over the last three games, Swift hasn't gone over 40 yards rushing, averaging over 12 carries in that three-game span. He's also averaged a little over two receptions the last three games. Back on Nov. 24, Swift ran for 30 yards and had three catches for 35 yards against the Vikings. Johnson is inactive which leaves Homer and Evans behind Swift.

QUESTIONABLE
D.J. Moore
D'Andre Swift

Related Players: Travis Homer, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze

Is it Travis Homer season? It certainly seems possible, and he should be snatched up just in case for teams desperate at the RB position.

Allen and Odunze would both get a hefty bump to their floor outcomes if Moore were to miss, as well.

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

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.

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.

Running back Khalil Herbert is on to Cincinnati.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the Bengals have agreed to a trade with the Bears that will add Herbert to their backfield for the rest of the season. A 2025 seventh-round pick will go back to the Bears as compensation.

Moss is dealing with a neck injury and there is no timetable for his return, we reported on Monday. So the Bengals needed help at the position. Herbert should slide in as the team's RB2 behind Brown, who is the clear RB1. Meanwhile in Chicago, Johnson becomes an interesting fantasy addition as the team's clear RB2 behind Swift. Swift started slow this season, but has come on as of late, however, Johnson could see his value climb and is probably worth adding off the wire if you have the room.

The Bears have agreed to terms with RB D’Andre Swift on a three-year, $24 million deal.

After a career year with the Eagles, Swift heads to Chicago to be a big piece in Shane Waldron’s offense.

Related Players: Khalil Herbert, Roschon Johnson

With D'Onta Foreman set to hit the market, Chicago brings in Swift to compete for touches with two home-grown talents; Herbert and Johnson. Swift should take over the lead-back role, but there will still be plenty of sharing going on, which impacts each of their fantasy outlooks. Swift will have a capped-upside as an RB2.

The Bears are expected to be without QB Justin Fields and RB Khalil Herbert

Related Players: D'Onta Foreman, Roschon Johnson, Darrynton Evans

Foreman handled the load last week, turning 20 rushes into a workman-like 83 yards. We should expect more of that usage Thursday night, though the offense as a whole has a capped ceiling with Tyson Bagent at the helm. Foreman is in FLEX consideration for Week 10.

Bears designated RB Khalil Herbert, WR Equanimeous St. Brown and DB Josh Blackwell for return from injured reserve.

The Bears play on Thursday this week at home against the Panthers, but it's not a lock Herbert goes in Week 10. Herbert was playing well before his injury, so we can perhaps assume he'll slide back into his RB1 role with Johnson as the RB2. But this could be shaping up to be a messy fantasy situation with the potential for a three-headed monster at the position.

Bears RB Roschon Johnson has one more hurdle to clear concussion protocol but Eberflus said it "looks real good" for him to practice Wednesday.

With Herbert on IR, Johnson could come back to a significant role in the running game for the Bears if he's back in Week 8. However, Foreman was pretty good in Week 7, scoring three touchdowns and running for 89 on 16 carries. Johnson seemed to be ahead of Foreman prior to being concussed so it remains to be seen if that will still be the case. Foreman added three catches for 31 yards. The return of Johnson should at least put him as the team's RB2, pushing Evans down the depth chart. Evans was a factor in Week 7 as well, running 14 times for 48 yards while adding a six-yard catch. However the game script against the Chargers could be different in Week 8 compared to how things went for the Bears in Week 7 vs. the Raiders. The Bears and Chargers are a Sunday night contest.

Bears RBs Khalil Herbert, Roschon Johnson and Travis Homer are all officially out for Sunday's game vs. Minnesota.

With at least some familiarity in the offense, Foreman can be considered an RB3 for desperate fantasy managers.
