J. Fields - QB

CHI

Justin Fields completed 27-of-37 passes for 217 yards in the Bears’ 12-10, Week 12 win over the Vikings, adding 59 yards on 12 carries.

The Bears were able to coast throughout the game while generating four turnovers by way of four interceptions, and still required a field goal in the two-minute drill to snatch victory from their division rivals - the first win for the Bears over an NFC North opponent under head coach Matt Eberflus. Chicago ceded a go-ahead touchdown with just under six minutes left to play after the first of two Justin Fields fumbles. Fields would fumble again on the subsequent drive but stout defensive play gave the ball back to the Bears with under two minutes to play. Fields would march the team down the field to set up the game-winning field goal with 10 seconds remaining for the ugly win. Next up for the Bears is another divisional opponent in the Lions in Week 13.

J. Fields - QB

CHI

Justin Fields completed 16-of-23 passes for 169 yards and a touchdown in the Bears’ 31-26, Week 11 loss to the Lions, adding 18 carries for 104 yards.

Fields didn’t miss a beat despite sitting out of four games because of his thumb injury. He handled pressure well for most of the game, taking the free rushing yards when Detroit gave them up but keeping his eyes downfield to find open receivers. He climbed the pocket to avoid pressure and found D.J. Moore open for a 39-yard score on his only touchdown of the day. The bad news is that, when it counted most, Fields and the entire offense fell apart. On the Bears’ penultimate drive of the game, they ran the ball twice for one yard before Fields overthrew Tyler Scott by inches for what would have been a massive reception, likely ending the game. Then, on the first play of their last drive, Fields didn’t see Aidan Hutchinson driving Darnell Wright backward, resulting in a strip-sack and safety. Though it was a mostly positive day for the Bears, their collapse can’t be overlooked. Fields is back in the QB1 rankings for Week 12 versus the Vikings, though the entire team has mistakes that need to be cleaned up.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Bears “need to be blown away by a rookie QB to move on from Justin Fields.”

Per Rapoport, the second half of the 2023 season will go a long way in determining Fields’ future with the organization. With his third season coming to an end, the Bears will need to decide on his fifth-year option in the offseason. The elephant in the room is the looming draft. The Bears shouldn’t have any trouble being blown away by the upcoming quarterback class. USC’s Caleb Williams has consistently flashed brilliance this year while North Carolina’s Drake Maye would be a strong first-overall pick in many other years. Given how valuable a franchise cornerstone quarterback on a rookie deal is, it will be nearly impossible for the Bears to pass up the opportunity while likely holding the top pick in the draft this offseason. Fields needs to play at a new level to keep his job in Chicago.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said the team plans on starting Justin Fields (thumb) in Week 11.

Eberflus said Fields, who has missed a month with his thumb injury, has progressed well and should be under center against Detroit this Sunday barring setbacks in his recovery. Fields’ return is a slight boost for D.J. Moore and Cole Kmet and a knock to Chicago’s running backs, since Fields rushes as much as any QB in the league. Fields can be started in 12-team formats against the pass-funnel Lions.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Justin Fields (thumb) is expected to start in Week 11 against the Lions.

Barring a setback in practice, Fields should be able to return from the thumb injury that has kept him sidelined over the past month. The Tyson Bagent era in Chicago is over for now. Fields enters the QB1 conversation upon his return. He was third in quarterback rushing attempts before his injury. The next seven games will effectively be a tryout for Fields as the team’s 2024 starter — or for another team willing to take on Fields as a project.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said QB Justin Fields (thumb) needs team drills to see how he is “functioning.”

Fields is attempting to return from a thumb injury, practicing in a limited capacity last week. Eberflus made several conflicting statements on Fields’ status, and his statements on Monday cast more doubt onto Fields’ Week 11 availability. For now, Tyson Bagent season stays alive.

Justin Fields (thumb) is doubtful for Week 10 against the Panthers.

Fields got in three limited practices this week, but, on a short turnaround to Thursday Night Football, the Bears are giving him another game off as he works his way back from the thumb injury. The long rest period between now and next Sunday should allow Fields to get back on the pitch for Week 11. Tyson Bagent will get the starting nod one last time this week.

Justin Fields (thumb) was limited in Tuesday’s practice.

That’s two straight limited sessions for Fields to open the week. The Bears have one more practice on Wednesday before announcing their game day designations, but Fields is trending toward having a chance to play on Thursday night against the Panthers. If he’s able to go, Fields will have high-end QB2 upside in his first game back. The Panthers have allowed 18.1 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks over the last five weeks, but Fields’ rushing upside gives him a chance to go off in any given week.

Bears QB Justin Fields (thumb) was limited in practice Monday.

Fields is attempting to make his way back from three missed contests, with the quick turnaround to a game on Thursday doing him no favors. Even so, Fields returned to practice last Friday and appears set to make his return to the starting lineup in Week 10 against the Panthers. The Bears held a walkthrough on Monday during the shortened week, so fantasy managers will want to check back for a full practice report on Tuesday.

D. Swift - RB

PHI

Eagles RB D’Andre Swift (ankle) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Swift played through the knee issue without any limitations last week and a limited session on Wednesday indicates he will do the same in Week 13. Swift gets a tough matchup with the 49ers’ stalwart defense this week. Still, operating as the lead-back on one of the best offenses in football will keep him in the RB2 ranks for Week 13.

Eagles WR A.J. Brown (thigh) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Brown played through the thigh issue last week after missing Wednesday’s practice, so a limited session this time around is actually an improvement. There’s no reason to believe he won’t play in Week 13. Brown will sit firmly within the WR1 ranks for Philly’s matchup with San Francisco.

F. Cox - DL

PHI

Eagles DT Fletcher Cox (groin) did not practice Wednesday.

Cox suffered the groin injury in the second quarter of Philly’s Week 12 matchup with the Bills. A DNP to start the week is not a good sign for his availability versus the 49ers. The Eagles’ have enough depth on the defensive line to handle his absence, though it’s never good to lose a veteran of his caliber.

E. Elliott - RB

Patriots RB Ezekiel Elliott (thigh) was limited in practice on Wednesday.

The veteran played the entire game in Week 12 against the Giants, but appears to have been banged up in the process. Many veterans take Wednesday as a rest day, but with the Patriots listing Elliott on the official report with a thigh injury, it becomes something to monitor. It’s unlikely that he misses any time, but if he were to, it would be a big boost for Rhamondre Stevenson, who would have the backfield to himself.

Eagles RT Lane Johnson (groin) was limited in Wednesday’s practice.

Johnson was added to the injury report on Sunday morning with the groin issue. He ultimately sat out of the Eagles’ matchup with the Bills. Johnson eventually said he popped scar tissue in his groin from last season, causing him to sit. A limited practice on Wednesday suggests he will be back in action for a crucial Week 13 matchup with the 49ers.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (quad) missed practice on Wednesday.

There seems to be no indication that the injury is anything serious, and Allen often gets Wednesday practices off for “vet rest.” However, the team listed him as a DNP with a quad injury on the official report, so it’s at least something to monitor as the week goes on.

I. Jackson - PF

IND

Isaiah Jackson (upper respiratory infection) and T.J. McConnell (right hamstring soreness) are questionable for Thursday’s game against the Heat.

With Jalen Smith (heel/knee) out for at least one week, Jackson appeared to be on track to take over as Myles Turner’s backup. But he’s also on the injury report, which may be why Oscar Tshiebwe is now traveling with the Pacers to Miami. There’s no need to consider streaming Tshiebwe. As for McConnell, his potential absence would benefit Andrew Nembhard the host.
