Column: 'This week was definitely different.' Amid chaos and confusion, Matt Nagy's Chicago Bears snuck past the hapless Detroit Lions. But now what? The Chicago Bears victory against the Detroit Lions was far from impressive. Miles from it actually. But at the very least, it ended the tea...
How Chicago Bears players dealt with rumors about Matt Nagy's job status. Their reward for beating the winless Detroit Lions — after a chaotic, confusing week — is relief. Cole Kmet had to turn off his phone this week. Enough thoughts already were racing through the Chicago Bears tight end’ s head as he tried t...

Kalif Raymond - Taking backseat to Reynolds Raymond caught three of four targets for 16 yards during Thursday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.
Impact Raymond again did little with the opportunities he saw. Meanwhile, Josh Reynolds -- who caught three passes for 70 yards and a score -- continues to rise to the top of the depth chart. Considering Raymond was hardly a fantasy option when he was the Lions' No. 1 receiver, his floor will probably get even lower if Reynolds continues on as Jared Goff's top option.

Jamaal Williams - Sees 20 touches in relief of Swift Williams rushed 15 times for 65 yards while securing five of five targets for 18 yards during Thursday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.
Impact D'Andre Swift (shoulder) exited for good in the first quarter and Williams went on to handle his largest workload of the season. Even though a 19-yard scamper probably made his final stat line look more efficient than it really was, Williams barely shared any of the remaining work with fellow backups Godwin Igwebuike or Jermar Jefferson. Should Swift need to miss Detroit's Week 13 matchup with Minnesota, Williams could be in store for a heavy workload against a Vikings defense that has been middle-of-the-pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs in 2021.

Josh Reynolds - Bounces back against Bears Reynolds caught three of five targets for 70 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.
Impact Reynolds started the month as a healthy scratch in Tennessee but has finished it as arguably Detroit's No. 1 wide receiver. While his upside figures to be capped as long as Jared Goff is throwing him passes, Reynolds at least seems to have a strong rapport with the former No. 1 overall pick thanks to the four years they spent together in Los Angeles. Should he continue to handle a large market share within Detroit's receiving corps going forward, it's possible that Reynolds could become a respectable fantasy contributor down the stretch.

T.J. Hockenson - Snags Thanksgiving touchdown Hockenson secured three of three targets for 35 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.
Impact Not only did he enter the week outside the top 60 players in terms of red-zone targets, Hockenson has now seen eight or more targets seven times while logging three or less targets in the other four outings. While this up-and-down usage has occasionally hindered his fantasy output, the Iowa product managed to overcome his minimal usage Thursday by snagging a 17-yard score in the third quarter. However, that was just his second touchdown since Week 2, and it may be difficult to build upon this performance in Week 13 against a Vikings defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2021.

Jared Goff - Two TDs in Thanksgiving defeat Goff completed 21 of 25 passes for 171 yards with two touchdowns and a lost fumble during Thursday's 16-14 loss to Chicago.
Impact Playing through the oblique injury that caused him to enter the game with a questionable tag, Goff got off to a hot start, hitting former Rams teammate Josh Reynolds for a 39-yard touchdown early in the first quarter. However, the Lions would only account for one more scoring drive the rest of the game thanks to a disproportionate number of as penalties in combination with general offensive ineptitude. While Lions fans can at least be thankful for seeing a better performance than what backup Tim Boyle displayed last week against Cleveland, that's still not saying much. Goff will continue to be an unappealing fantasy play when Detroit hosts Minnesota in Week 13.
