DJ Moore Faces Former Squad In Week 10

DJ Moore Faces Former Squad In Week 10

one year ago

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore is set to face his former team in Week 10 on Thursday Night Football. However, Moore's performance hinges on the availability of starting quarterback Justin Fields, who is questionable with a thumb injury. If Fields cannot play, Tyson Bagent will step in again, and Moore's fantasy value is likely to take a hit. Moore's past performances with Bagent as quarterback have been underwhelming, with no more than 13.4 PPR points in a game and a recent decline in targets. Fields has been limited in practice this week, and for him to play, he will likely need to be a full participant in practice once. Without Fields, Moore faces a tough matchup against a Panthers defense that has been effective at limiting wide receiver points this season. However, Moore becomes a must-start option if Fields is cleared to play. Fantasy managers should closely monitor Fields' status leading up to the game to make an informed decision about starting Moore.
