Friday's Bears-Bills joint practice produced a defense-dominated narrative. Chicago's defense forced Josh Allen into a three-pick day, signaling the Bears’ pass rush is closing on elite quick-strike offenses. Caleb Williams started hot with big-time connections to Rome Odunze, flashing a ceiling that fantasy managers will watch closely, while Olamide Zaccheaus continued to make catches in heat. Williams also navigated some red-zone and two-minute adversity, but the session kept expectations high for the Bears’ offense.

Injury and depth news tempered the momentum: Shemar Turner returned to practice but didn’t partake in team drills, and Case Keenum was day-to-day with a leg issue, leaving the Bears with questions at backup QB. Pre-snap penalties and a shaky left tackle situation remained persistent concerns for Chicago, with Kmet limping briefly before returning. Luther Burden’s standout showings and Zaccheaus’s continued production provided bright spots amid a session that remained balanced, competitive, and instructive for fantasy angles.
