Jaylon Johnson News
Chicago Bears defensive backs Jaylon Johnson and Tashaun Gipson Sr. were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. As a result, they are both out ahead of the Monday Night Football matchup against NFC North rivals, the Minnesota Vikings. With the team dealing with numerous injuries on the defensive end, Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson, and possibly Adam Thielen (ankle) may all benefit. While Jefferson and Thielen are nearly always must-start candidates, fantasy managers may want to consider utilizing Cousins as their Week 15 signal-caller.
The Chicago Bears placed defensive backs Jaylon Johnson and Tashaun Gipson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Sunday. The Bears will be short-handed on Monday against a potent Vikings passing attack, even if receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) misses a second straight game with a high ankle sprain. It's an upgrade for the likes of quarterback Kirk Cousins and receivers Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn, with Thielen on the wrong side of questionable to suit up. The Bears defense/special teams, which enters the week ranked 15th in terms of overall fantasy points on the season, isn't one to put into your starting lineups in Week 15.
Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) and safety Deon Bush (foot) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Johnson has been a staple of the Bears Defense as a rookie, having been removed from last week's contest due to a shoulder ailment. The team will likely rely on Kindle Vildor in an expanded capacity Sunday to attempt to corral Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson, while the absence of Bush also decreases the team's depth in the secondary. Irrespective of Johnson and Bush's injuries, Chicago's defense remains an above-average unit in Week 15 due to the team's propensity for sacks, in addition to having held the Vikings to 19 points the last time that the teams matched up this season.
