Team news & squads

Minnesota Vikings team news

As for the Minnesota Vikings, it's been a rollercoaster season marred by inconsistency and injuries. Their most recent setback came in a 27-19 home loss to those same Ravens, though Jalen Nailor turned heads with a career day, 124 receiving yards and a score. A week prior, the Vikings edged out the Detroit Lions 27-24, fueled by a punishing 142-yard effort on the ground and two passing touchdowns from J.J. McCarthy.

However, the injury bug has hit Minnesota hard. With Carson Wentz and Ryan Kelly both on injured reserve, depth at quarterback and center has become a serious concern. Even so, the Vikings continue to lean heavily on their star wideouts Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, the heartbeat of their offense, as they fight to keep their season afloat.

Chicago Bears team news

The Bears are finding their rhythm at just the right time, stringing together some gutsy performances in recent weeks. Their latest triumph came in a 24-20 win over the Giants, where rookie sensation Caleb Williams commanded the offense with 220 passing yards and a touchdown. On the defensive side, C.J. Gardner-Johnson was a menace, racking up two sacks and seven solo tackles to help seal the deal.

Earlier this season, the Bears lit up the scoreboard in a 47-42 shootout victory over the Bengals. Caleb Williams once again stole the show with 280 yards through the air and three touchdown passes, while Kyle Monangai bulldozed his way to 176 rushing yards in a breakout performance.

Their only recent stumble came against the Ravens, who handed them a 30-16 loss. Williams threw for 285 yards but was picked off once, while D’Andre Swift punched in a rushing touchdown. Despite the spark on offense, the Bears couldn't contain Baltimore's relentless ground game.

Vikings vs Bears Fantasy Football

It was a bit of a rollercoaster outing for Caleb Williams on Sunday. The rookie quarterback completed just 55.6% of his passes, but that number doesn't tell the full story. This wasn't a case of scattershot inaccuracy; rather, it was a case of bad luck and sloppy execution from those around him. The Bears receivers let him down, dropping six passes on the day, several of which could’ve changed the complexion of the game.

Even so, Williams flashed the magic that made him the No. 1 overall pick, delivering several jaw-dropping throws on the move, keeping plays alive with his creativity and poise. For fantasy purposes, this feels like another "upside QB2" week for him, the kind where he’s worth rolling the dice on, especially if you’re chasing ceiling rather than floor.

Meanwhile, the Bears are being cautious with D'Andre Swift, who was limited in practice on Wednesday. His hip injury appears to be in the rear-view mirror, but the coaching staff isn't eager to tempt fate. Expect Swift to suit up in Week 11, though he'll likely continue splitting touches with rookie Kyle Monangai, who’s earned a steady role in the backfield rotation.

Rome Odunze enters Week 11 as a respectable fantasy starter, but there's reason to tread carefully. His ankle issue midweek raises a few red flags, and with Chicago's schedule tightening up, Odunze’s week-to-week reliability is starting to look shaky. He'll need either better quarterback play or a spike game to reclaim WR2 confidence.

Over in Minnesota, J.J. McCarthy remains a fascinating work in progress. The numbers paint an uneven picture, 20-of-42 passing (47.6%) for 248 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. When the pressure came, McCarthy managed 9-of-20 for just 5.2 yards per attempt, and surprisingly, he wasn’t much sharper when the pocket was clean. His 52.3 passer rating without pressure was the lowest among all quarterbacks last week.

That said, there's still a flicker of fantasy intrigue here. McCarthy has QB2 value in the right matchups, and his dual-threat ability gives him sneaky DFS appeal. Despite the inefficiency, he finished as QB12 (20.1 points) in Week 10, not bad for a player still finding his rhythm.

As for the Vikings' backfield, Aaron Jones Sr. has emerged as a rock-solid RB2 option. With Minnesota feeding him consistent volume and a plus matchup against Chicago, he’s poised for another productive week. His combination of workload and matchup makes him one of the safer fantasy plays on the board.

Then there's Justin Jefferson, still every bit the superstar, but his fantasy numbers have hit a ceiling thanks to uneven quarterback play. The volume is there — the efficiency isn't. Still, this could be the week things finally break his way. The Bears are surrendering the third-most fantasy points to opposing receivers, and with Chicago itching for revenge after Minnesota’s comeback win in Week 1, expect Jefferson to get every opportunity to torch them again. If there’s ever a "get-right" game for McCarthy and Jefferson, this is it.

Vikings vs Bears Game Predictions

In their season opener, the Chicago Bears once held a 17-6 advantage over the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field. But rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy engineered a stunning comeback in his first NFL start, leading Minnesota to a 27-24 win. Since that game, Chicago's defense has taken a hit due to mounting injuries, while Caleb Williams has developed a knack for late-game heroics—he currently leads the league in game-winning drives and fourth-quarter comebacks.

As for the Vikings, they've shown a troubling trend of starting strong but fading late, averaging just 8.7 points in the second half over their last three outings. That inconsistency could come back to bite them again. Expect Minnesota to jump out to an early lead, only for Williams to storm back in the fourth quarter and deliver some poetic revenge for the Bears.
