Chicago Bears wide receiver
DeAndre Carter (hamstring) isn't expected to return to Sunday's game versus the 49ers. The wideout isn't a routine option for
Caleb Williams. However, his likely absence will be felt on special teams. With wide receiver
Tyler Scott inactive, the team may turn to cornerback Josh Blackwell to handle return duties for the remainder of Week 14.

Chicago Bears left guard Teven Jenkins (ribs) and wide receiver
DeAndre Carter (ribs) are active for Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers. Both players had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity on Friday. Jenkins has been an offensive staple for the Bears this season, playing every offensive snap through the first three weeks before an injury took him out of the game early in Week 4. Meanwhile, Carter has been productive this season, too. In addition to catching seven passes for 60 yards, he also has five kick returns (34 yards per return) and nine punt returns (9.4 yards per return). However, he's off the fantasy radar in most leagues.

The Chicago Bears are signing wide receiver
DeAndre Carter, according to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report. The 2015 undrafted free agent has spent time with nine NFL organizations, including the Bears in 2020. Overall, the 31-year-old has tallied 108 receptions for 1,259 yards and six touchdowns. However, he has returned 132 punts and 118 kickoffs in 94 career games, so that's likely why Chicago was interested in bringing him in. Carter is likely to compete with third-year wideout
Velus Jones Jr. for return-man duties, a role that could be more important following the updated kickoff rules in 2024. With
DJ Moore,
Keenan Allen, and
Rome Odunze on the roster, it'd be a surprise if Carter makes an impact as a receiver.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
DeAndre Carter (knee) is expected to debut with his new squad on Sunday against the Broncos. The journeyman wideout, who signed with Vegas in March, has recently been burdened by a knee issue. But it appears he's good to go for Week 1. Carter is coming off his most productive year, catching 46 passes for 538 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games with the Chargers. However, he won't have
Justin Herbert slinging him the ball, so he's hard to take seriously from a fantasy standpoint, even more so with
Davante Adams,
Jakobi Meyers, and
Hunter Renfrow in the picture.
