2025 Fantasy Outlook
Homer re-signed after two quiet seasons in Chicago, seeing most of his work on special teams. He's logged just six carries and three receptions the last two years and holds no offensive role barring multiple injuries. A capable pass protector and special-teams ace, Homer is valuable to the roster but not in fantasy. Even with an impressive preseason, his ceiling remains low, and he's off the redraft radar heading into 2025. Read Past Outlooks

August 26, 2025
The Bears placed Homer (calf) on IR on Tuesday, ruling him out for at least the first four games of the regular season.
ANALYSIS
Homer will miss the first four games of the regular season, at a minimum, due to a calf injury sustained during Chicago's preseason opener against Miami. Once fully recovered, Homer will figure to return as a depth option behind D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson (foot).

2019
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.
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.
Heading into the fourth and final year of his rookie contract, Homer isn't a lock to make the 53-man roster after the Seahawks selected Kenneth Walker in the second round of April's draft. Homer handled a career-high 171 offensive snaps last season, and his role won't grow in 2022 with Walker onboard and Penny coming off a late-season breakout. However, Homer's special-teams ability and pass-blocking prowess were enough to secure a depth spot now that Chris Carson is heading to retirement.
Compared to his rookie year, Homer took on an increased role in the Seahawks backfield last year, averaging 3.5 YPC on 25 rushes while catching nine of 10 targets for 90 yards and his first career touchdown through the first nine games. The 2019 sixth-rounder missed the second half of the season due to a myriad of injuries, but he'll be ready for the season opener. His role on offense once again will be minimal as long as Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny stay healthy, and Homer will need to battle DeeJay Dallas for the No. 3 role in training camp.
Homer was selected by the Seahawks in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft and projected as a special-teams asset behind Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny, both of whom suffered season-ending injuries between Weeks 14 and 16. The Seahawks opted to bring back Marshawn Lynch to fill the void, but Homer managed to showcase his explosiveness and pass-catching abilities over the final five games, including two playoff contests. Carson should be ready for Week 1, but Penny likely will need until October to hit full speed. That should leave a handful of touches for Homer early on, but the addition of 2020 fourth-rounder DeeJay Dallas damages any certainty.
Homer was efficient in college, averaging 6.0 YPC in his senior season, but he punched it in the end zone just four times in 13 games. The Seahawks took a sixth-round risk on the unproven back because Homer has encouraging athleticism, with a 4.48 40-yard dash along with a 39.5-inch vertical jump. He enters a crowded backfield with Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny leading the way, and C.J. Prosise and J.D. McKissic bringing pass-catching abilities, so Homer figures to top out as a reserve running back with special-teams duties.

RBChicago Bears
December 7, 2024
Homer would be slated to serve as Chicago's top running back against San Francisco on Sunday if D'Andre Swift were to be ruled out due to a quadriceps injury.
ANALYSIS
Homer has not logged a carry since Week 2 against the Texans, as he's been stuck behind Swift and Roschon Johnson for much of the regular season. However, Johnson has been ruled out for Sunday's game due to a concussion, and Homer could be asked to take on an even larger role if Swift is limited or sidelined due to his quad injury. Homer did get some opportunities to serve as the lead back for the Seahawks in 2022 when Kenneth Walker was sidelined due to an ankle injury.
