News: The Bears waived linebacker Patrick Trahan Saturday. The move was made one day before the Week 1 game against the Colts.
Analysis: Trahan was likely to be on and off the practice squad all year for the Bears. He has little Fantasy value regardless of where he lands.
News: Chicago moved LB Brian Iwuh (hamstring) to injured reserve on Tuesday and promoted LB Patrick Trahan from the team's practice squad. Iwuh is the third special teams player to be placed on IR for the Bears this month.
Analysis: Trahan has spent the entire season on Chicago's practice squad and not appeared in an NFL game during his two years in the league. Fantasy owners should continue to leave him on waivers in all formats.
News: The Bears finished off their cuts on the way to getting down to the final 53 players on the active roster on Saturday. Among the casualties were RB Harvey Unga, LB J.T. Thomas, S Anthony Walters, LB Patrick Trahan, TE Andre Smith DT Jordan Miller, FB Robert Hughes, WR Kris Adams and DT Marcus Harrison.
Analysis: All of these players were competing for reserve spots on the roster, so they were not expected to impact game day anyway. On the same token, they had little to no Fantasy value even if they had made the squad.
News: The Bears signed the following players to Futures contracts: DB K.J. Gerard, LB Chris Johnson, LB Patrick Trahan and RB Eddie Williams.
Analysis: None of these players were or are expected to produce many stats in the first place. Keep them off of Fantasy rosters.
News: The Bears signed LB Patrick Trahan to the practice squad Wednesday, and the practice squad contract of WR Rashaun Greer has been terminated.
Analysis: Trahan has no Fantasy value unless he's called up to the active roster. Ignore him in all leagues.
News: Tennessee added six players to the practice squad on Sunday: DL Hall Davis, WR Dominique Edison, CB Pete Ittersagen, C Kevin Matthews, S Myron Rolle and LB Patrick Trahan.
Analysis: Trahan is not expected to get on the field for the Titans. Fantasy owners would be wise to leave him alone and on waivers in all formats.
