Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore's current contract runs through the 2025 season, so nothing is urgent at this time, but he's currently 17th among wideouts in terms of average salary and is coming off a career year in his first year in Chicago in which he caught 96 passes on 136 targets for a career-high 1,364 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in 17 starts. Moore has become one of the faces of the franchise, and general manager Ryan Poles might want to reward him with a new deal sooner than later. Fellow receiver Keenan Allen will be a free agent after the 2024 season and is likely to enter the year on an expiring contract, as the Bears want to see what he has left at 32 before considering keeping him around beyond one year. Moore certainly has more competition for targets with Allen around now, but he's a pretty safe WR2 target this fall.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore wrapped up the strongest season of his career in a mild manner in Week 18, catching four of six targets for 64 yards in the team's 17-9 loss to the Packers. The star receiver finished with a career-best in receiving yards (1300) and touchdowns (eight) while going over 100 yards in a game five times this season. The former Panther finished the season as the WR8 in PPR formats, averaging over 19 points per game when Justin Fields plays the whole game. In his first year with the team, Moore added exactly what this Bears' offense needed, and his skillset combined with Fields' ability to throw the deep ball has been a perfect match. He's talked about how much he loves playing with Fields, but it's uncertain who will be the quarterback for the Bears in 2024. Moore will look to build on a career year in 2023 next year with Chicago.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore suffered an ankle injury in Week 16 against the Cardinals but returned to the game. In Week 17, the star receiver had an injury designation before full participation in practice on the Friday before the game, and he went on to catch nine of 13 targets for 159 yards and a touchdown. The former Panther finished with over 30 PPR points for the second time this year and the first since his Week 5 outburst on Thursday Night Football. With Justin Fields healthy, Moore has put up at least 20 PPR points in six of the last eight games, with the only games less than that coming against the best defense in the NFL and a game he was injured in. Leading up to Week 18, his status was in question after sitting out the first two practices, but full participation on Friday means he should be good to go Sunday. The Bears take on the Packers in Week 18, who allow the 19th-most points per game to receivers this season. He ranks as a low-end WR1 ahead of the final game of the season.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (ankle) was limited in practice for the second day in a row due to an ankle injury. The 26-year-old was initially hurt in Week 16 but was able to play in last Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. He looked just fine in that contest, catching nine of 13 targets for 159 yards and a touchdown. Moore already has career highs in receiving yards (1,300) and touchdowns (8) and needs two more catches in Week 18 to set a new personal best in that category, too. Given Moore's strong showing in Week 17, the Bears are likely just exercising caution before their season finale against the Green Bay Packers.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (ankle) is listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury. The 2018 first-round pick is enjoying the best season of his career, compiling 92 receptions for 1,300 yards and eight touchdowns through 16 games. While there's no indication he'll miss the Week 18 game against the Green Bay Packers, the Bears could play it safe since they are already eliminated from playoff contention. Ultimately, fantasy managers and DFS gamers should monitor his practice status for the rest of the week. If he's active, he's a must-start fantasy option and will have plenty of upside in DFS tournaments this weekend.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore delivered a standout performance in the team's Week 17 win, securing nine receptions on 13 targets for an impressive 159 yards and a touchdown. The star receiver thrived even in snowy conditions, accumulating 30 PPR points, marking his second-best output of the season. When starting quarterback Justin Fields is healthy, the former Panther has consistently scored at least 20 PPR points, achieving this in six of the last eight games with the exceptions being against the Browns and in a game where Moore suffered an injury. Despite occasional challenges in the Bears' passing attack, Moore ranks as the WR10 in PPR formats, justifying his draft status earlier in the year. As the Bears gear up to face the Packers in Week 18, who allow the 16th-most points per game to receivers this season, Moore stands as a compelling fantasy option.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore suffered an ankle injury in the team's Week 16 win over the Cardinals but returned to the game. The former Panther was not on the injury report Wednesday, meaning he will head into Week 17 without an injury designation. Moore was held to his worst fantasy output since Week 1, catching just three of six targets for a season-low 18 yards. Prior to a rough two-game stretch, the star receiver had at least 20 PPR points in five straight games with Justin Fields healthy. The last two games have been lackluster, but one was a matchup against the best defense in football, and the other he dealt with an ankle injury. The Bears take on the Falcons in Week 17, who allow the third-fewest points per game to receivers this season. Moore ranks as a low-end WR2 in a tough matchup versus Atlanta.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore suffered an ankle injury in the Week 16 win over the Arizona Cardinals. He briefly exited the game before returning, but he was only able to catch three passes for 18 yards. However, the 26-year-old was not listed on Wednesday's initial injury report, which means he should be good to go for the Week 17 showdown with the Atlanta Falcons. Although the Falcons have surrendered the second-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers, Moore is a must-start as long as Justin Fields is healthy and active. In their first 11 games together, Moore has caught 63 passes for 930 yards and eight touchdowns.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore left the team's Week 16, 27-16 win over the Cardinals with an ankle injury but managed to return and finish the game. Despite the setback, the star receiver caught three of six targets for just 18 yards, marking a new season-low. The Bears, leading throughout the game, heavily favored the run, and Moore's ankle injury significantly contributed to his lackluster day. The former Panther finished with just 4.8 PPR points, his lowest since Week 1 and only the third time this year he's had fewer than 10 points with Fields playing. In Week 17, the Bears face the Falcons, who allow the fourth-fewest points per game to wide receivers. Moore's status will be worth monitoring, but if he suits up, he'll aim to bounce back from this challenging outing.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has been dominant this year when Justin Fields plays, putting up 20 or more PPR points in five of the last six full games they played together. The star receiver had his worst game since Week 1, catching four of eight targets for 52 yards in the team's loss at Cleveland. Most teams tend to struggle on the road at Cleveland, and the poor weather didn't help the Bears' offense get on track. He'll look to rebound from a down week and get back to his dominant ways in Week 16. The Bears take on the Cardinals, who allow the 13th-most points per game to wide receivers this season. Arizona ranks second-last in defensive passing DVOA, and Moore could be in store for a big day. He ranks as a low-end WR1 for Week 16 and will look to bounce back from a modest performance a week ago.
