The Chicago Bears will host the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR DJ Moore.
Is Moore Playing in Week 16?
Moore is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bears’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Moore in Week 16?
DJ Moore caught first and third quarter touchdowns in Chicago’s steamrolling of Cleveland last week and while I think he can hover around the flex radar with Rome Odunze banged up, I’m proceeding with caution.
He led the Bears in routes last week, but both emerging rookies (Luther Burden and Colston Loveland) were targeted on a higher percentage of their routes in Week 16. The 22.9 PPR points from last week, likely left on your bench, are encouraging, but I’d resist the urge to blindly chase them.
I don’t mind this matchup, I’m just not sold that this offense is in the business of featuring him in a consistent way. Last week was his second multi-TD effort of the season and do you remember what happened in the two games following the previous one?
-
8 targets
-
13 yards
-
3.3 PPR points
