- Caleb Williams is out for the Chicago Bears due to a hamstring injury, leaving Case Keenum to start in his place despite Tyson Bagent being cleared from concussion protocol.
- Case Keenum will start at quarterback for the Bears against the Eagles, a decision made even though backup Bagent was medically cleared to play.
- Saquon Barkley is active for the Eagles but coming off a stinger that limited him in Week 2, leading SportsLine AI to project him Under 74.5 rushing yards with a predicted 56.3 yards.
- SportsLine AI projects Jalen Hurts will throw for under 218.5 passing yards and rush for under 24.5 yards, factoring in defensive adjustments from opponents stacking the box.
- D'Andre Swift has a rushing yard over/under of 60.5, with SportsLine’s model identifying five player props rated 4 stars or higher for same-game parlays on 'Monday Night Football'.
- Philadelphia remains without tight end Dallas Goedert (knee), weakening their offensive options, while DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is confirmed available for the game.
Why it matters: With Williams sidelined and Keenum starting, the Bears lose offensive upside just as defenses adjust to stop Barkley, making prop bets on rushing yards more predictable. The Eagles’ reliance on Hurts to run offsets some of Barkley’s reduced volume, shifting fantasy and betting value toward passing props despite Goedert's absence.
