Tarik Cohen Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

Both Montgomery and Patterson are expected to play Sunday, despite being officially listed as questionable. Montgomery made significant progress this week after dealing with a groin injury throughout training camp. His availability would be a significant blow to Tarik Cohen's value this week. Patterson should have a small role at best in the offense if healthy and active.

The Bears cut RB Mike Davis, who they signed as a free agent before the 2019 season. The Bears made this move because of the compensatory pick they may receive and the emergence of rookie RB David Montgomery. Davis will likely be claimed by another NFL team looking for backfield depth.

The running back has been playing through a shoulder injury and we now have more details, it's a sprained AC joint, per Ian Rapoport. It could explain why he's been off to a slow start this season. Howard has averaged just 2.7 yards per carry on 22 attempts. Tarik Cohen is the clear beneficiary of Howard's injury as it'll hinder Howard's ability to be an effective pass blocker, which will keep Cohen on for more receiving opportunities. The rookie has hauled in eight catches in each of his first two games and he should continue to have favorable game flow as the Bears are currently 7.5-point underdogs against the Steelers today.

Kendall Wright and Benny Cunningham were also removed from the report Friday. Howard is rehabbing a shoulder injury, which could still be a problem for the running back on Sunday. Although he's going to start, it may be harder for him to powerfully run the ball, especially near the goal line, and it could hurt his ability to block in pass protection. As long as Howard is banged up, Tarik Cohen will benefit. The rookie has already piled up 16 receptions in his first two games and game flow could work in his favor again this week; the Bears are currently 7-point dogs.

Howard (shoulder) was seen sporting a sling after their game against the Buccaneers on Sunday but he's been able to practice two days in a row, which is a good indication he'll be able to suit up Sunday.

Wheaton (finger) hasn't been able to play in a game yet this year but he looks to be all set for their Week 3 matchup with the Steelers. Cornerback Amukamara (ankle) has also missed their first two contests. While the Bears held Julio Jones in check in Week 1, Mike Evans got the best of them for a 7/93/1 line. If he's able to suit up this week, he'll have a difficult challenge with Antonio Brown.
