Burden secured seven of 11 targets for 61 yards and a touchdown while rushing once for seven yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

The second-year wideout led the Bears in receptions and targets in the impressive win with totals that also qualified as season highs, while checking in second only to Kalif Raymond in receiving yards. Burden also scored his first touchdown of the season on a nifty shovel pass that he took eight yards to the house while breaking multiple tackles near the goal line to cap off Chicago's opening possession. Burden's ability to click with fill-in signal-caller Case Keenum bodes well for the receiver's fantasy prospects, considering Caleb Williams (hamstring) is still projected to miss several more games. Burden will look to carry over the momentum into a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday.

Barner caught 5-of-9 targets for 69 yards in the Seahawks' 33-31 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.

Barner saw an intense target share in Sunday's contest, picking up the slack for the Seahawks' offense. The Commanders' defense relentlessly prioritized Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the game developed, leaving Barner to see plenty of attention in a losing effort.

Hurts completed 16 of 25 passes for 153 yards with no touchdowns and one interception while rushing four times for 25 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 27-7 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Hurts scuffled through the air as much as his final suggests, averaging a modest 6.1 yards per attempt while taking a pair of sacks. The star signal-caller also absorbed a big hit on the sideline at the end of a two-yard scramble shortly before the midway point of the second quarter, and he missed four plays while undergoing a concussion check he subsequently passed. Hurts led the Eagles to their only points upon checking back in for the following possession, one he capped off with a one-yard touchdown run as time expired in the first half. That would prove to be the highlight of an otherwise forgettable night, and Hurts is averaging a modest 206.7 passing yards per game while carrying a 5:3 TD:INT into a Week 4 home showdown against the Rams on Sunday.

Raymond caught 6-of-7 targets for 90 yards and a touchdown as well as two punt returns for 15 yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday.

Despite having three quarterbacks throwing him the ball in as many weeks, Raymond continues to be a top option for the Bears' receiving offense. The wide receiver was second in targets Monday night, second only to Luther Burden (11), who did not manage to exceed Raymond in yards. The returner's additional value on special teams just further adds to his offensive allure as the season continues.

Keenum completed 24 of 34 passes for 247 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while rushing four times for six yards and another score in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Keenum's final numbers underscore how effective he was running Ben Johnson's aggressive offense against a quality defense. The 38-year-old signal-caller, who got the starting nod over Tyson Bagent in Caleb Williams' (hamstring) stead, connected with seven different targets overall, facilitating multi-reception tallies for four of his pass catchers. Keenum completed an eight-yard shovel pass to Luther Burden for his first touchdown toss of the night, and he followed it up with an impressive 41-yard scoring strike to Kalif Raymond in the latter portion of the third quarter for his two TD passes. He then closed out the scoring with a one-yard run just past the midway point of the final period, rounding out a rewarding fantasy night. Given Monday night's results, Keenum appears well in line to be under center for a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday.

Lewis (leg) exited Monday night's game against the Eagles early, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Lewis did not return to Monday's contest after sustaining the leg injury. The slot cornerback went down untouched after blitzing on a play in the fourth quarter. Lewis never received an injury designation and it remains to be seen how significant the injury is.

Smith secured six of eight targets for 65 yards in the Eagles' 27-7 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Smith led the Eagles across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets on a night when Jalen Hurts passed for just 153 yards. All three of the speedy wideout's totals also qualified as his second highest of the first three games of the season. Smith appears to be adjusting well to new coordinator Sean Mannion's offense despite the Eagles' collective performance on that side of the ball leaving plenty to be desired, and he'll take a robust 19-235-1 line on 27 targets into a Week 4 home showdown against the Rams on Sunday.

Barkley rushed 15 times for 82 yards and secured one of two targets for minus-2 yards in the Eagles' 27-7 loss to the Bears on Monday night.

Barkley was a rare bright spot for an otherwise moribund Eagles offense, showing no ill effects from the stinger that cost him substantial time in a Week 2 win over the Titans. The star running back got his night started on the right foot with a 12-yard run on Philadelphia's opening possession and a nine-yarder on the second drive that was wiped out by a holding penalty. Barkley would go on to add another four rushes of seven or more yards, including a game-long 17-yard scamper. Barkley has yet to top 15 carries in any of the first three games of the season, but he's been highly efficient while averaging 5.1 yards per carry and posting four runs of 10-plus yards overall. Barkley and the Eagles have a tall order on their Week 4 ledger, however, as the Rams come to town on Sunday.

Swift rushed 20 times for 84 yards and brought in two of three targets for four yards in the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Monday night.

Facing the team he suited up for back in 2023, Swift had a nifty nine-yard run on the Bears' opening possession, but he otherwise found running room at a premium for the next two-plus quarters. However, Swift got it going late to help ice Chicago's impressive win, rattling off 23 yards on the first three plays of the Bears' final drive and then closing things out with a 15-yard tackle-breaking scamper on fourth-and-1 on the first play after the two-minute warning. Swift has eclipsed 80 rushing yards in two of the first three games of the campaign and will take an average of 4.7 yards per carry into a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Sunday.

Jones (knee) is doubtful to return to Monday night's contest against the Eagles.

Jones will now be sidelined for the remainder of the game after suffering a knee injury in the third quarter. In his absence, Theo Benedet has taken over a left tackle versus Philadelphia.
