Bears Elevating Brittain Brown from Practice Squad for Week 9

Saturday, November 1, 2:17 PM

The Chicago Bears elevated running back Brittain Brown from their practice squad for the team's Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Chicago will be without running backs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Roschon Johnson (back) against Cincinnati. Rookie running back Kyle Monangai is expected to step into a workhorse role in Week 9. Brown and veteran Travis Homer are the most likely candidates to give Monangai a breather when he needs one. Brown has not appeared in an NFL game since 2022, when he played in six games for the Las Vegas Raiders. The 28-year-old exclusively played special teams for Las Vegas, so he's unlikely to take on much of an offensive role for Chicago in Week 9.

CJ Donaldson Could see Expanded Role in Backfield

Tuesday, September 29, 6:08 PM

New Orleans Saints running back CJ Donaldson has seen a minimal role in the rushing attack through the first three weeks of the season. Coming into Week 4, Donaldson has carried the ball four times for 11 yards, while hauling in one reception for -2 yards. Usually, Donaldson is an afterthought in the backfield, but he could see an expanded role with Travis Etienne Jr. (hamstring) expected to miss some time. Alvin Kamara should be the lead back with Kendre Miller and Donaldson splitting up the backup role. Fantasy managers in deep leagues or dynasty formats should consider stashing Donaldson.
