The Chicago Bears (2-2) will visit the Washington Commanders (3-2) in Week 6. 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 DJ Moore Playing in Week 6?
Moore is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit DJ Moore in Week 6?
The Bears are coming off of their bye week and maybe that means that DJ Moore gets on track, but we are firmly in the need to see it to believe it tier for the veteran receiver.
Just once this season, despite the strong play of Caleb Williams, Moore has had one top 45 finish on his 2023 resume. Rome Odunze has assumed the lead role of this Ben Johnson offense and I don’t see that changing any time soon.
There’s a path for Moore to be on the fringes of flex consideration (three catches in two different games) in what could be a high-scoring game, but with Colston Loveland expected back, I’m struggling to see a target ceiling higher than what we’ve seen up to this point (5-6 in every game).
For me, Moore is in the same range as the Buffalo receivers, ranking smack in the middle of the floor that comes with Khalil Shakir and the ceiling hopes that Keon Coleman carries. You’re getting in the rankings weeds: I’m not making an excuse to start any of those receivers in Week 6.
