Equanimeous St. Brown Fantasy

Chicago Bears wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) has been cleared from the league's concussion protocol and will play in Week 17 against the Detroit Lions after being removed from Friday's final injury report. St. Brown missed the Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills but return for this weekend's divisional clash as the Bears look to snap an eight-game losing streak. With both Chase Claypool (knee) and Dante Pettis (ankle) listed as questionable, the 26-year-old could have a big role in the passing attack in his first game back. However, fantasy managers have been unable to rely on any Chicago pass-catcher this year for consistent production, so you should look elsewhere in fantasy championship matchups this weekend. St. Brown hasn't scored since the season opener and has only 18 receptions for 300 yards on 34 targets in 14 games.

Chicago Bears wide receivers Chase Claypool (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) both missed practice on Wednesday. Claypool hasn't played since Week 13 (the team had a bye in Week 14), but he doesn't look to be closer to returning in Week 17 against the Detroit Lions. The 24-year-old has been off the fantasy radar in most leagues in his five games with Chicago, as he has just 12 catches on 22 targets for 111 yards and no touchdowns. St. Brown picked up a concussion in Week 15 and miss last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills. He's no lock to clear the concussion protocol before this Sunday. With Dante Pettis (ankle) also nursing an injury, the Bears receiving corps could be down to Byron Pringle, rookie Velus Jones Jr. and N'Keal Harry against the Lions.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) wasn't able to practice all week and has officially been ruled out to play in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills on Christmas Eve on Saturday. Chase Claypool (knee) is also listed as doubtful, so Chicago will be down to Byron Pringle, Dante Pettis, rookie Velus Jones Jr. and N'Keal Harry as their wideouts this weekend. Tight end Cole Kmet could have a big game, but the Bears offense will most likely struggle to move the ball consistently against a strong Bills defense. As long as game script allows it, expect the Bears to lean on their running game as much as possible against Buffalo. St. Brown suffered a concussion in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and was unable to clear the league's protocols.
