Bears RB David Montgomery (knee) to miss 4-5 weeks

Oct 05, 2021

Per source, tests showed Bears RB David Montgomery has a knee sprain that’s expected to keep him out 4-5 weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

The good news is, it's not a season-ending injury for Montgomery. The math says he could be back for a Week 9 game vs. Pittsburgh, but something to keep in mind is the team has a bye in Week 10, so perhaps a Week 11 return against Baltimore makes a lot more sense. That could also depend on how the Bears do record-wise in the coming weeks. Williams looks like he'll take over as the team's lead back, and of course has experience in that role most recently with the Chiefs. Herbert could also see some snaps and touches and is probably worth owning in deeper leagues or as a handcuff to Williams if there is room on your roster.

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.
