Duvernay failed to haul in his lone target while playing 11 of 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 42-38 loss to the 49ers. He also returned a kickoff for 29 yards.

EDGE Analysis

The two-time Pro Bowl return man will continue to offer most of his value to the Bears on special teams, but he was needed to take on more reps than usual as a depth receiver in Week 17 since Rome Odunze (foot) and Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) were inactive for the contest. While Zaccheaus should be back for Week 18 against the Lions, Odunze is more uncertain to play, and the Bears could be down another receiver in Luther Burden, who sustained a quadriceps injury in the loss to San Francisco. If the Bears are without both Odunze and Burden in Week 18, Duvernay could once again be called upon to serve as the team's No. 4 wideout behind DJ Moore, Zaccheaus and Jahdae Walker.

Duvernay caught one pass for 24 yards on one target in the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Duvernay recorded his second catch of the season and his first since Week 8 while continuing to work primarily on kick returns. His one target in Week 14 keeps him off the fantasy radar outside of formats that reward return production.

Duvernay caught one of three targets for two yards and returned three kickoffs for 96 yards in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Duvernay continued to work primarily as a return specialist while seeing limited offensive targets. His role offers little fantasy value outside of formats that count return production.

Duvernay returned five kickoffs for 120 yards in Monday's 25-24 win over the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

Though Duvernay has been active for every game this season, his role has been contained exclusively to special teams. He has yet to log a snap on offense through five contests and is averaging 25.0 yards per kickoff return and 11.4 yards per punt return.

The Bears signed Duvernay to the active roster Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Duvernay is back with the Bears one day after being released by the team. The 2020 third-rounder is expected to play a larger role on special teams as a returner than he is on offense. He logged 351 yards on kick returns and 167 yards on punt returns across 13 regular-season games with the Jaguars in 2024, but he recorded only 11 catches (on 16 targets) for 79 yards that season.

Duvernay was released by the Bears on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The wide receiver signed a one-year deal with Chicago in March but ended up falling short of the 53-man roster in a crowded receiver room led by DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Luther Burden. Duvernay has just 15 catches for 97 yards over the last two regular seasons with the Jaguars and Ravens, and he last caught an NFL touchdown in 2022 with Baltimore. Now, the 2020 third-round pick of the Ravens will look for his next opportunity.

Duvernay (undisclosed) suffered a pregame injury before Sunday's 38-0 preseason win over the Bills, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duvernay did not appear in the contest after sustaining an undisclosed injury before kickoff. The wide receiver will have a shorter turnaround before Friday's preseason finale with the Chiefs, so his status will be worth monitoring at practice.

Duvernay agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year contract with the Bears, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Duvernay joins Chicago as a return specialist capable of also contributing in a depth role at wide receiver behind DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Olamide Zaccheaus. He suited up for 13 regular-season games with Jacksonville in 2024 but was cut by the team early March in order to clear up cap space. Duvernay is unlikely to emerge as a significant contributor on offense for Chicago and therefore holds little fantasy value, aside from unique formats that allot a premium to return yardage.

Duvernay was released by the Jaguars on Thursday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The wide receiver finished 2024 with 11 catches for 79 yards and no touchdowns in 13 games, though he also contributed 351 kickoff-return yards and 167 punt-return yards. Duvernay, a two-time Pro Bowl return man, signed a two-year deal with the Jaguars last March after playing out his rookie contract with the Ravens, but he was caught in a series of cost-cutting moves by Jacksonville as it tries to clear cap space going into the new league year.

Duvernay wasn't targeted and returned two punts for 15 yards during Jacksonville's Week 18 loss to Indianapolis.

EDGE Analysis

Duvernay entered the contest with at least one catch in five straight games, but he wasn't targeted in the season finale and played just five offensive snaps. He's primary worked as a return man this season and had 11 catches for 79 yards and four carries for three yards in 13 games. Duvernay is under contract for 2025 but could be cut for a dead money penalty of $1.2 million with just over $2.7 million in savings, so there's a chance he's cut loose during the offseason.
