Chase Claypool (knee) ruled out Week 16 for Chicago
Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) is inactive for Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.
What It Means:
Claypool was doubtful, so this was expected. The Bears will also be without Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) on Saturday, so Justin Fields may be running it even more than normal. Byron Pringle, Dante Pettis, Velus Jones, and N'Keal Harry (back) will be the Bears' primary wideouts, but Cole Kmet figures to be the top target.
numberFire's models project Kmet to lead the Bears with 5.5 targets on Saturday, followed by Pettis (4.0) and Pringle (3.1). Fields is projected for 10.3 carries and 15.5 FanDuel points.
