D.J. Moore Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

After being nearly shut out in the first half, the Bears passing game took off in the second half. Keenan Allen caught five of eight targets for 73 yards and two TDs. D.J. Moore caught eight of 16 targets for 97 yards and a TD. Rookie Rome Odunze only caught two of his six targets for 25 yards.

Bears WR Keenan Allen caught nine of 15 targets for 86 yards and a late TD in a failed comeback. WR DJ Moore caught all seven of his targets for 106 yards and a TD, including the catch to set-up the game tying FG in regulation. Rome Odunze caught five of 10 targets for 39 yards.

Bears WR Keenan Allen (ankle) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Vikings. He was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday. We’ll look for further updates on Allen, but he was already an unexciting fantasy option before this news. His absence would boost the target potential for WR D.J. Moore, WR Rome Odunze, and TE Cole Kmet.

The Bears are firing OC Shane Waldron, according to multiple reports. He'll be replaced by passing-game coordinator Thomas Brown.

Bears WR DJ Moore finally had a breakout performance catching five of eight targets for 105 yards and two TDs. He and Williams seemed to finally connect.

Bears WR D.J. Moore recorded 3 catches, 22 yards, and 1 score in Sunday's win over the Rams. His 6 targets ranked second on the team (26%).

Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. "He's tracking to return this week if all goes well," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted.

Bears WR Keenan Allen (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Colts. It's a downgrade from last week, when Allen was questionable on the final injury report before winding up inactive. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 4. His absence this weekend adds target upside to WRs D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze. We also saw TE Cole Kmet's routes and targets climb with Allen out last week.

Bears WR D.J. Moore had a final stat line of six catches on 10 targets for 53 yards against the Texans. He was the preferred target of rookie QB Caleb WIlliams, but it wasn’t enough to give Moore a solid fantasy day due to the lack of consistent accuracy from his QB.

Bears QB Caleb Williams didn't get to 100 passing yards in his debut against the Titans on Sunday. He completed just 14 of 29 attempts (48%) for 93 yards (3.2 YPA), 0 TDs, and 0 INTs. Williams flashed his mobility and arm strength on a few occasions. And WR Keenan Allen dropped a would-be six-yard TD. But Williams missed multiple downfield throws and had a few passes batted down at the line of scrimmage.

The Bears on Tuesday reached agreement with WR D.J. Moore on a four-year contract extension worth $110 million. ESPN's Courtney Cronin reports that it includes $82.6 million in guarantees. Moore had two years remaining on his existing contract, which already had him set for nearly $16 million in salary. The extension carries him through 2029.

Bears WR D.J. Moore posted 9 receptions on 13 targets for 159 yards and a score in Week 17 against the Falcons. The veteran wideout ended Sunday with his fifth game this season with 100+ receiving yards, an achievement that marks a career-best for Moore. He’s also on track to post a personal high in PPR points per game (17.3 through Week 17) and already surpassed bests in yardage (1,300) and TDs (8). The addition of Moore proved to be a boon for Chicago’s offense and QB Justin Fields, though the latter’s future still hangs in the balance. Regardless of whether Fields returns as the Bears’ starter, Moore should be considered as a high-end WR2 in dynasty formats. It would be nice if Fields came back, however. It would save Moore from having to play with his 10th different starting QB since entering the league in 2018.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He was full-go in Friday’s practice, so we’re not expecting the ankle to be a problem today. Moore is safe to use as you normally would.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Browns today, ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms. Moore was a full-go in Friday's practice, so we're not expecting the ankle to be a significant factor today.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Browns. He went from no practice on Wednesday to a limited practice on Thursday to full participation on Friday. We’re expecting Moore to play his usual role this weekend but will look for further updates on his status.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Browns this weekend, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Bears WR D.J. Moore (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He seemed to make it out of last week's game vs. the Lions okay, so we're assuming this is more of a maintenance day. But Moore's status bears monitoring over the next few days.

Bears QB Justin Fields made his return from a thumb injury in Week 11 vs. Detroit. He instantly paid off for fantasy managers, posting 169-1 passing and 104 rushing yards on 18(!) attempts. (Those 18 attempts matched a career-high.) His lone score came on a beautiful deep ball to D.J. Moore, who led the team with 9 targets, 7 catches, and 96 yards. Week 12 turns up a neutral matchup vs. the Vikings, followed by a Week 13 bye. Fields will be a no-doubt QB1 down the stretch, especially for matchups with Detroit (Week 14), Arizona (Week 16) and Atlanta (Week 17).
