2024 Fantasy Outlook
After spending the first four seasons of his career in Seattle and seeing occasional touches in a Seahawks backfield that seemed to be constantly dealing with injuries, Homer moved on to Chicago in 2023 and was almost exclusively used on special teams, seeing only six snaps on offense. Homer can do damage in open space and has some passing-down utility, but as a runner he generally only gets what his blocking creates for him. He'll fill a depth role in a Bears backfield that now features D'Andre Swift in the lead role. Read Past Outlooks

Officially placed on IR
The Bears placed Homer (finger) on injured reserve Saturday, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Homer popped up on the Bears' injury report Thursday due to a finger injury, which was severe enough to necessitate a surgical procedure. The 2019 sixth-round pick will now be forced to miss at least four games, and the earliest he can return will be against the Commanders in Week 8. 2023 fourth-round pick Roschon Johnson, who was a healthy scratch for Week 1 against the Titans, will now serve as the Bears' No. 3 running back behind D'Andre Swift and Khalil Herbert while Homer is sidelined.

2019
Homer signed a two-year, $4.5 million contract with the Bears to provide running back depth behind D'Onta Foreman and Khalil Herbert. Once Chicago spent a fourth-round pick in this year's draft on Roschon Johnson, the overall pecking order at the position has even more question marks. During his four years in Seattle, Homer never had more than 25 carries or 16 receptions in a season. However, he was often used on passing downs, so he could carve out a role as a change-of-pace option with his new squad. It's unclear if coach Matt Eberflus will have four RBs available on game days, so one of Homer or Johnson could be a healthy scratch, barring absences in the group.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could still have solid role
Homer could still operate as the primary complementary option behind the returning Kenneth Walker in Thursday's game against the 49ers, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Homer logged a season-high 48 snaps on offense Week 14 against the Panthers with Walker and DeeJay Dallas both sidelined by ankle injuries. Although Walker is now free of an injury designation ahead of Thursday's contest, Dallas remains questionable, leaving open the possibility Homer garners the majority, if not all, of the complementary snaps behind Walker.
