Darnold has had modest success since returning from injury in Week 3 (16.5 fantasy points per game, 1,277 yards passing, 8 TDs, 8 INTs with 9-52-0 rushing), and he'll likely be without LT Charles Cross (ankle), but the Bears in the back seven could be without LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring) and CB Malik Muhammad (toe).
