2026 Week 6 Fantasy Football Breaking News: Bears Activate Kyler Gordon, Elevate Zavier Scott
Chicago makes a flurry of roster moves ahead of Sunday's game against Atlanta — here's what it means for your fantasy lineup.
According to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports), the Chicago Bears activated cornerback Kyler Gordon from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and signed defensive back Nick McCloud to the active roster ahead of their Week 6 matchup against the Falcons. The Bears also elevated running back Zavier Scott and linebacker Buddy Johnson from the practice squad for Sunday's game. To create room, Chicago placed defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo on injured reserve and released defensive back Xavier Woods.
Zavier Scott
Scott's practice squad elevation means he's available Sunday, but a game-day elevation is a depth move — not a featured-role signal. The source story gives no indication he's in line for significant carries, so treat him as a handcuff stash at best rather than a plug-and-play add. Unless the supplied data on Chicago's backfield depth changes before kickoff, there's no clear fantasy upside to chase here. Check the Bears' final injury report for any news that might push Scott up the depth chart before you make a move.
