Chicago receiver Alshon Jeffery (hand) practiced fully Friday and is on track to play Monday against the 49ers. SOURCE: Vaughn McClure, Chicago TribuneFantasy Spin:Brandon Marshall is the Bears' No. 1 and 2 options in the passing game but Jeffery should help open things up for the superstar. With Jason Campbell starting Monday against the vaunted 49ers defense, we'd stay away from Jeffery in Week 11.

Cutler out, Campbell to start at San Francisco
Jason Campbell will start for the Bears in Monday's game at San Francisco, NFL Network reported Friday. Campbell, who signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal to back up Jay Cutler, has 70 career starts.

Bears QB Cutler out vs. 49ers
The Chicago Bears say quarterback Jay Cutler will miss Monday's game at San Francisco because of a concussion.
Jason Campbell is expected to start against the 49ers in his place.

Key Matchup: Bears Receiving Core Against 49ers Secondary
There is no doubt the return of rookie wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will help the Chicago Bears’ offense on Monday night.
But against a very stingy San Francisco 49ers pass defense it could be tough for backup quarterback Jason Campbell to find any open receivers.
The 49ers’ defense allow the least amount of points per game (14.1), the third least total yards per game (292.1...
Jay Culter has not been cleared to practice
It is looking doubtful that the Chicago Bears will have Jay Culter for Monday nights game against the San Francisco 49ers. With Culter out the first-team reps will be taken by backup Jason Campbell.
