Kmet caught both targets for 16 yards in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Kmet has caught two or three passes in five straight contests, including two targets in this game while operating behind Colston Loveland. After posting between 28 and 45 receiving yards in four of those games, he has been held to 16 yards or fewer in his last two. The limited target volume keeps him confined to deep-league tight end consideration.

Walker caught two of three targets for 30 yards in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Walker played extended snaps with Rome Odunze (foot) and Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) sidelined, finishing with three targets for the second straight contest. He has now caught four passes on six targets over his last two games, accounting for all of his offensive production this season. As long as multiple receivers remain out, he profiles as a low-volume depth option tied to opportunity rather than consistent usage.

Smythe caught his lone target for 11 yards in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Smythe has now recorded one reception for 11 or fewer yards in four of his last seven contests, drawing just one target in this game. Those four catches account for all of his receiving production this season. His role remains too limited to provide reliable fantasy value outside of emergency depth situations.

Edwards returned an interception for a touchdown while recording nine tackles, including six solo, in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Edwards has now posted more than seven tackles in four of his eight games this season while never falling below four stops in any appearance. This marked his first interception of the year, and the return touchdown added a rare splash play to his stat line. He remains a moderate-floor IDP based on consistent tackle involvement.

Edmunds recorded nine tackles, including seven solo, in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Edmunds posted at least seven tackles in nine of his first 10 games this season before returning from a four-game absence with a groin injury last week. He followed up a six-tackle effort against Green Bay with another high-volume outing. The tackle consistency keeps him in the high-floor IDP tier when he's active.

Booker recorded three tackles, including one solo and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Booker now has 3.5 of his 4.5 sacks over his last three contests, accounting for the majority of his big-play production this season. He has posted between two and four tackles in all but two games, underscoring his reliance on sacks for fantasy value. That profile makes him a low-floor, sack-dependent IDP option.

Wright recorded seven tackles, including six solo, in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Wright posted more than six tackles for the fourth time this season and for the second time since Week 9. He also has five interceptions on the year, supplying occasional splash plays despite fluctuating tackle totals. The mix leaves him as an inconsistent IDP with big-play-driven upside.

Brisker recorded eight tackles, including three solo, in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Brisker has now posted at least five tackles in nine of his last 11 contests, including back-to-back eight-tackle outings for his best two-game stretch of the season. His year-long production includes just 1.0 sacks and one interception, limiting his splash-play ceiling. He remains a moderate-floor IDP based primarily on tackle volume.

Freiermuth recorded three receptions on five targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 13-6 loss to the Browns.

Freiermuth was curiously uninvolved for most of the game, but he was easily Pittsburgh's most productive pass catcher. He logged a 23-yard reception just before halftime to set up a field goal and then recorded long gains of 29 and 11 yards on the Steelers' final drive as they attempted to tie the game. Freiermuth should have the chance to step up again in Week 18 in a pivotal matchup against Baltimore with DK Metcalf (suspension) still sidelined and Darnell Washington (arm) likely to be out.

Sampson rushed the ball 11 times for 27 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers. He added three receptions on three targets for zero yards.

Sampson was able to return from a two-game absence, and he immediately led Cleveland's backfield with 14 touches. That translated to limited production, as he was inefficient as both a rusher and receiver. However, Sampson will likely retain a significant role for a more favorable Week 18 matchup against the Bengals.
