Vikings-Bears should be battle of backups: NFC North notebook

Dante Pettis - Brief stay at hospital Pettis returned to Chicago on a separate flight Sunday night after briefly checking into a hospital with blurred vision, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Impact Pettis failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's loss to the Lions and played a season-low 14 snaps. He was taken to a hospital following the game, but he cleared concussion protocol and was able to fly home Sunday night. However, it's unclear if the fifth-year wideout will be able to practice during Week 18 prep.

NFL Week 17 highlights: Steelers win on SNF, Saints upset Eagles, Bucs, Packers win
Week 17 of the NFL season continues Sunday — and we've got you covered from start to finish. Here are the top plays!JANUARY 2, 2023
Trevis Gipson - Back in sack column Gipson recorded a sack and one tackle in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Gipson recorded a sack for the first time since notching a pair of them in Week 2. He's recorded two or fewer tackles in 12 of his last 13 games, and he'll remain a low-floor IDP option in Week 18 against Minnesota.
JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Jones - Posts third sack of season Jones tallied a sack and six tackles in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Jones posted more than three tackles for the second time since Week 4 while getting back in the sack column for the first time since Week 5. He'll remain a volatile IDP option in Week 18 against the Vikings.
JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Joe Thomas - Strong fantasy performance Thomas recorded 13 tackles in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Since taking over the middle linebacker role after Jack Sanborn was placed on injured reserve, Thomas has at least six tackles in each of his last three games. He should remain a high-floor IDP option in Week 18 against the Vikings.
JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cairo Santos - Scores four points in defeat Santos converted his lone field-goal attempt in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Santos hasn't scored more than seven points in a game since Week 7, and he'll remain a low-upside fantasy option in Week 18 against Minnesota.
JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan Griffin - No yardage in defeat Griffin failed to corral is lone target in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Griffin is primarily used as a blocker, and he has four catches 26 yards on the season. It's unlikely he'll have much fantasy production in Week 18 against Minnesota.
JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Byron Pringle - Leads team in targets Pringle failed to catch any of his four targets in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Pringle had more than two targets for the first time in the nine games he's played this season, though this was the first time in three games he hasn't recorded at least 34 yards. He'll be considered a low-upside fantasy option in Week 18 against the Vikings.
JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Dante Pettis - Targeted once in defeat Pettis failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Pettis has surpassed 20 yards once since Week 1, though he has scored four touchdowns this season. He'll be considered a touchdown-dependent dart throw for fantasy in Week 18 against Minnesota.
JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
N'Keal Harry - Posts first catch since Week 13 Harry caught one pass for 16 yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Harry caught one of the seven passes Justin Fields completed in this game, and he's averaging one reception over the six games he's played this season. His limited role in the offense will make him difficult to trust in Week 18 fantasy lineups when he faces the Vikings.
JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Equanimeous St. Brown - Targeted three times St. Brown caught two passes for 20 yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact St. Brown has posted at least 20 yards in four of his last five games, but he's only surpassed 25 yards just once since Week 8, and his lack of volume will make him a low-upside fantasy option in Week 18 against the Vikings.
JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Velus Jones Jr. - Quiet in losing effort Jones rushed once for 13 yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Jones was also targeted once, though the pass fell incomplete. Aside from his kick-return duties, Jones has just six receptions and right rushing attempts on the season, and his lack of volume will make him tough to trust in Week 18 fantasy lineups.
JANUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Khalil Herbert - Limited role in loss Herbert rushed five times for 31 yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact In a game during which Chicago ran just 43 offensive plays, the team had just 11 rushing attempts to split between Herbert and David Montgomery. In the Week 18 finale against the Vikings, Herbert will likely remain in a backup role to Montgomery, which will result in an uncertain workload.

Bears stick with Fields throughout ugly loss to Lions
Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus considered taking Justin Fields out of Sunday’s lopsided loss to the Detroit LionsJANUARY 1, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Dante Pettis - Avoids concussion Pettis entered the leagues concussion protocols and was sent to the hospital for precautionary reasons, after he was dealing with blurred vision, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic rep...
Impact Pettis was able to clear the leagues concussion protocols, despite him dealing with blurred vision. He was held without a catch and received one target in the team's 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Lions rout Bears 41-10 and take playoff hopes to Green Bay
Jared Goff threw two of his three touchdown passes to Brock Wright in the first half, and the Detroit Lions beat the Chicago Bears 41-10 to remain in the playoff chaseJANUARY 1, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Chase Claypool - Targeted once in defeat Claypool was held without a catch in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Although Justin Fields threw 21 passes, one one of those throws went in Claypool's direction. He's only reached 30 yards once since Week 9, and he'll be difficult to trust in fantasy lineups in Week 18 against the Vikings.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Cole Kmet - Salvages fantasy day with touchdown Kmet caught two passes for 27 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Kmet scored in the first quarter, but was targeted twice the rest of the way in a game that the Bears consistently struggled to move the chains. He's scored a touchdown in four of his last seven games, and he should continue to be a borderline top-12 tight end next week at home against the Vikings.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
David Montgomery - Disappointing production in defeat Montgomery rushed five tomes for 24 yards and caught two passes for 12 yards in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Other than Justin Fields as a rusher, the Lions completely stymied the Bears offense, which included Montgomery. With Chicago struggling to convert many first downs once the first quarter was over, there was little opportunity for him to accumulate volume. He'll hope to end the year on a high note at home against the Vikings in Week 18.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Fields - Mixed results in defeat Fields completed seven of 21 passes for 75 yards with a touchdown and interception along with 132 rushing yards on 10 carries in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Impact Fields had 100 rushing yards and his touchdown in the first quarter, but he was held in check the rest of the way. This was his second disappointing fantasy performance in a row, though he'll have a chance to end the year on a high note next week at home against the Vikings.
JANUARY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Michael Schofield III - Forced out Sunday Schofield was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Lions with a knee injury.
Impact Schofield went to the medical tent and was then carted to the locker room during the second quarter, according to Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com. With Teven Jenkins (neck) also questionable to return versus Detroit, Dieter Eiselen has stepped in right guard for the Bears, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
