NFL Week 8 Recap: Immediate fantasy football takeaways from Bears-Seahawks

Key Points:

• Seattle Seahawks welcomed back running backs Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price, leading to a rotating backfield that may benefit fantasy managers, while Emanuel Wilson’s fantasy value diminished.
• Without Rashid Shaheed, Seahawks receiver Tory Horton saw increased playing time, though only Jaxon Smith-Njigba is expected to maintain consistent fantasy value among Seattle’s receivers.
• Chicago Bears lost backup tight end Cole Kmet to season-ending injury, resulting in Colston Loveland receiving more routes and slightly increased fantasy value as the lead tight end.
• Bears defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons debuted strongly after being acquired in a trade, while Seahawks defensive tackle Leonard Williams left the game with an injury, affecting Seattle’s defensive line rotation.
• Additional roster notes include Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock’s questionable status due to injury, Bears running back Kyle Monangai’s continued absence, and the activation of new players on both teams’ practice squads.
