The Chicago Bears (4-2) will visit the Baltimore Ravens (1-5) in Week 8. 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 8?
Update: Despite missing some time at practice this week, barring any surprises, Moore is expected to play against the Ravens.
Moore (hip) was a non-participant at Wednesday’s practice.

Should You Start or Sit DJ Moore in Week 8?
DJ Moore hasn’t reached 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 1 and hasn’t earned more than six targets in a single game this season after finishing the 2024 season with eight straight games of 7+ targets earned).
Caleb Williams has struggled since the bye, but even when he was playing at a higher level, the veteran receiver was only marginally involved.
The limited volume could stand to be offset if he was using his savvy to separate in scoring situations, but his red zone target rate is trending for a career low. Ben Johnson is having more fun scheming around the specific talents of his young pass catchers and, recently, leaning into the running game.
Things are certainly trending in the wrong direction for Moore. The Ravens’ defense has struggled across the board, and that’s why he remains on the fringe of my top 30 at the position, but he’s far from a must-start.
I’ve got home run threats like Matthew Golden (at PIT) ranked ahead of Moore for Week 8.
