New England ruled out five players: Vera-Tucker, Ben Brown, and cornerbacks Carlton Davis III (neck), Channing Canada and Karon Prunty. Right tackle Morgan Moses (ankle), safeties Kevin Byard and Craig Woodson, and linebacker Christian Elliss are questionable. For fantasy, the guard losses matter most. Drake Maye and the New England run game now work behind two backups on the interior, and Moses could make it three new faces on the line.
On the Bears side, running back Kyle Monangai is out for a third straight game with thumb and toe injuries, and linebacker Jack Sanborn is out with a concussion. Linebacker T.J. Edwards is doubtful and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson is questionable. Guard Jonah Jackson recovered from a hip flexor injury and has no designation, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler posted.
Both teams are 4-2. Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET at Soldier Field on Prime Video, and ESPN's odds feed lists Chicago as a 3-point favorite with a 50.5 total.
Chicago's backfield runs through D'Andre Swift, who has 94 carries for 398 yards and six touchdowns, per ESPN. Roschon Johnson carried 13 times for 51 yards and a score in Sunday's 31-23 win over Atlanta. Caleb Williams completed 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards in that game, and Luther Burden III caught all eight of his targets for 95 yards. Burden leads the Bears with 31 catches.
Maye is 117 of 183 for 1,463 yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions. He threw three touchdowns in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets. DeMario Douglas leads the team with 20 catches for 233 yards. Rhamondre Stevenson has the most carries at 71, but he gained 36 yards on 14 tries Sunday while Kiner and TreVeyon Henderson also got work. Romeo Doubs is on injured reserve with a shoulder injury.
