Is Trey Burton playing Monday night?
UPDATE: Burton is officially ACTIVE.
Despite his "questionable" tag, Burton (groin) has had virtually no news reported on him all week. He was limited participant in practice, and after playing in Week 2, he seems highly likely to suit up against the Redskins.
However, after catching just two passes (three targets) for five yards in Week 2, it's unlikely many fantasy owners have him in their lineups this week. It's a fairly favorable matchup, but the risk is high. If you are planning to play Burton, you should be ready to pick up Adam Shaheen or Vernon Davis just in case Burton is a surprise scratch.

Is Eddy Pineiro playing Monday night?
UPDATE: Pineiro is officially ACTIVE.
Pineiro kicked in practice on Saturday despite suffering a knee injury during the week. Coach Matt Nagy said on Saturday he thinks Pineiro will be "OK" for Monday night. The fact the Bears haven't made a roster move and brought in an additional kicker suggests Pineiro will indeed be ready to go against the Redskins.

The first-year kicker has gone four-for-four on FG attempts, including hitting two from 50-plus yards last week. He's also hit his lone PAT attempt. It's unlikely you went into Monday with a "questionable" kicker, but if you did, Pineiro should be fine. If he's out, you can always pick up whoever the Bears use as a backup or Dustin Hopkins.
