Santos converted three extra-points in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

After scoring six points in the season opener, Santos was not called upon to attempt a field goal in the blowout loss against the Lions. Unless the Bears can improve their offensive production, Santos will not be a stable fantasy option.

Loveland failed to secure his lone target in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Afte catching both of his targets against Minnesota in the season opener, Loveland was shut out on one target against the Lions. The rookie has seen half of the targets that fellow tight end Cole Kmet has. Loveland may work his way into an expanded role, but he's currently a risky fantasy option.

Burden caught one pass on two targets for five yards in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Burden has a total of three targets over the first two games, and the rookie is the clear No. 4 receiver in the offense. Burden's biggest contribution to the team has been as a kick returner. It's possible that Burden sees his role grow over the course of the season if he can impress the coaching staff.

Young completed 35 of 55 pass attempts for 328 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while rushing twice for two yards with a lost fumble in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Cardinals.

Young was looking like he was headed toward another dreadful performance in a one-sided loss when the Panthers went into the break down 20-3. The young signal-caller flipped the script in the second half, firing off three touchdown passes on consecutive drives to make this a nail-biter. While his team still fell short in the end, Young reignited hope in fantasy managers with his stellar play to close out this contest. The top overall pick in the 2023 draft will be looking to ride the momentum from this outing into next Sunday's tilt against the Falcons.

Kmet caught two passes on four targets for 29 yards in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Kmet was targeted four times, and the veteran has doubled first-round rookie Colston Loveland's targets in each of the first two games. Although it's possible that Loveland sees his role grow over time, Kmet remains the top tight end for the Bears, though that may not lead to many ceiling performances in an offense that relies heavily on its wide receivers.

Zaccheaus caught two passes for 12 yards along with a nine-yard rush in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

After Zaccheaus was second on the Bears with seven targets in Week 1, he followed that up with five targets against the Lions. The veteran has a clear hold on the No. 3 receiver role, and he should continue to see regular targets.

Skule (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday night's contest against the Falcons, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

Skule is the second offensive lineman to be placed in concussion protocol Sunday, joining center Ryan Kelly, who was ruled out after halftime. Walter Rouse has taken over at left tackle in place on Skule versus Atlanta.

Monangai rushed seven times for 28 yards and caught one of three targets for eight yards in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Monangai saw extended work in a game during which the Bears were blown out, and he is the clear No. 2 running back behind D'Andre Swift in the Chicago backfield in a game for which Roschon Johnson was active. The rookie may not see consistent work, but Monangai could be in line for a sizable backfield role should Swift miss time.

Bagent completed two of three passes for 27 yards along with two rushes for seven yards in the Bears' 52-21 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Bagent was in for mop-up duty in a game in which the Bears were blown out. The veteran is only expected to see time in blowouts or if Caleb Williams misses time.

Dobbins rushed the ball 14 times for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-28 loss to the Colts. He added one reception on two targets for nine yards.

Dobbins continued to work clearly as the top back in Denver, tallying 15 touches compared to six for RJ Harvey. Dobbins was also the more effective back, highlighted by long runs of 23 and 18 yards. The primary negative to his performance came near the goal line, as he was stuffed from the one-yard line on two separate drives before finally scoring from five yards away early in the third quarter. While those were lost opportunities for Dobbins, he has found the end zone in each of Denver's first two games while combining to rush for 138 yards.
