Gardner-Johnson recorded 10 tackles and one interception in the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Gardner-Johnson has surpassed six tackles only twice this season and had just eight total tackles over his previous three games before this 10-stop outing. His mix of sporadic tackle volume with 3.0 sacks and his first interception makes him a volatile IDP who offers big-play and spike-week upside.

Smythe caught one pass for two yards on one target in the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Smythe has three receptions this season, all coming over his last four contests and totaling 14 yards. His primary usage as a blocker and third tight-end role keep him as a non-factor in fantasy lineups.

Duvernay caught one pass for 24 yards on one target in the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Duvernay recorded his second catch of the season and his first since Week 8 while continuing to work primarily on kick returns. His one target in Week 14 keeps him off the fantasy radar outside of formats that reward return production.

Moore recorded one reception on three targets for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.

Targets were expected to condense around Moore and Luther Burden with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, but Moore was completely uninvolved. His three targets matched his season low, while his only catch came late in the second quarter. Moore now has under 20 receiving yards in four of Chicago's last five games.

Burden recorded four receptions on six targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers. He added one rush for three yards.

Burden led the Bears in targets and yards with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, while DJ Moore remained uninvolved. Burden was primarily targeted in short areas of the field, though he did get behind the Packers' defense for a 27-yard gain late in the fourth quarter as the Bears attempted to rally to tie the game. Burden's involvement in Chicago's offense has steadily crept up in recent weeks, as he now has at least five targets in four straight contests. He set his highest yardage total in that span with his performance Sunday, though Burden could continue to emerge in the final handful of remaining weeks of the regular season.

Bech recorded six receptions on six targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.

Bech was expected to see an expanded role due to Dont'e Thornton (concussion) being sidelined. He went on to lead the team in targets, though they all came in the final 18 minutes of game time, with four of his targets coming from Kenny Pickett. While this was Bech's most productive game of his rookie season, he's difficult to trust given the state of quarterback play in Las Vegas and the potential for Thornton's return in Week 15 against the Eagles.

Tucker recorded two receptions on five targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Broncos.

Tucker tied for second on the team in targets, though he managed only two catches for modest gains of 13 and 11 yards. All of his targets and production came with Geno Smith (hand) under center, so his outlook is murky heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Eagles with Kenny Pickett potentially leading the offense. Even if Smith is able to suit up, Tucker has now been held to under 30 receiving yards in three straight games.

Andrews recorded one catch on five targets for nine yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers.

Fresh off a three-year extension, Andrews finished third on the team in targets behind Zay Flowers and Isaiah Likely. However, he was unable to turn that into much production and was held under 10 yards for the second time in the last three weeks. Andrews should bounce back thanks to his involvement in the Baltimore offense, though Isaiah Likely has been the more productive tight end on the roster in the last two contests.

Likely recorded four receptions on six targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Steelers.

Likely logged six targets for the second consecutive game, good enough for second on the team behind only Zay Flowers. While he turned in a modest yardage total, Likely caught a key four-yard touchdown pass midway through the third quarter -- his first score of the season. He also nearly had a second score with just under three minutes in the contest, though the play was overturned after originally being called a touchdown on the field. Likely has had some high-profile mistakes in the last two weeks, but he has also displayed rapport with Lamar Jackson and could be in position to close the season well.

Patrick recorded five receptions on six targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-19 win over the Colts.

Patrick had the chance to step up with Parker Washington (hip) sidelined, and he took advantage to deliver his best showing of the season. He did a significant amount of damage on Jacksonville's final drive of the first half, hauling in a deep pass for 37 yards and then capping off the possession with a seven-yard touchdown. Patrick is a peripheral option in the team's offense and will likely see his production fade once Washington can return.
