Moore hauled in five of eight targets for 52 yards and a touchdown while adding eight yards on one rush attempt in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Rams.
Moore scored the game's first touchdown in the second quarter, but it wasn't enough to lift the Bears past the divisional round of the playoffs. The 28-year-old saw his production dip significantly for the second year in a row after finishing with a 50-682-6 receiving line across 17 starts during the regular season. Moore did take on a larger role once the playoffs got under way, as he averaged 5.5 receptions and 58.0 yards while scoring a touchdown in each of his two appearances. Despite the veteran wideout's diminishing production in the regular season, Moore should retain his starting job with Chicago after signing a four-year, $110 million contract back in 2024.

Bears' DJ Moore: Clear for divisional round
Rotowire
Moore (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's divisional-round game versus the Rams.
Both Moore and fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week, but only Odunze is entering the weekend as questionable to suit up. There's been no indication that Odunze is trending in the wrong direction to do so, and if he ends up being available, a similar breakdown of snaps between him (69 percent) and Moore (86 percent) from this past Saturday's wild-card win against the Packers is possible Sunday.

Bears' DJ Moore: Logs another limited listing
Rotowire
Moore (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.
The same applies to fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) after both players also were listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report. The Bears' next report is destined to clarify whether either of the duo are able to upgrade to full participation Friday, as well as their official game statuses ahead of Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Rams.

Bears' DJ Moore: Listed as limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Moore (knee) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
Moore also was limited at last Tuesday's walkthrough before capping the week with a full practice Thursday and heading into the weekend with no designation. He proceeded to lead Bears wide receivers in snap share (86 percent) in this past Saturday's wild-card win versus the Packers en route to six catches (on seven targets) for 64 yards and one touchdown and one carry for minus-5 yards. Both Moore and fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) were limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, so their statuses will continue to be monitored ahead of Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Rams.

Bears' DJ Moore: Scores key TD in playoff win
Rotowire
Moore secured six of seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-5 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.
Moore paced the Bears' wideouts in receptions and receiving yards while tying Luther Burden for the lead in targets on the night. The veteran also made up for a drop earlier in Chicago's game-winning drive by hauling in a 25-yard scoring strike from Caleb Williams that would prove to be the game-winning touchdown. Moore should continue playing an integral role in next weekend's divisional-round clash.

Bears' DJ Moore: Limited Tuesday with knee issue
Rotowire
Moore was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice due to a knee injury.
The knee issue is a new concern for Moore, whose most recent appearance on a Bears injury report came back in Week 17, when he was battling an illness. After putting in a limited session Tuesday, Moore will have two more chances at practice to clear up any concern about his availability for Saturday's wild-card game versus the Packers. Moore suited up for all 17 of the Bears' games during the regular season, accounting for seven total touchdowns (six receiving, one rushing) while producing 682 yards on 50 catches and 79 yards on 15 rushing attempts.

Bears' DJ Moore: One snag in defeat
Rotowire
Moore caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Lions.
Moore was nearly blanked in Week 18, securing his only pass for 11 yards in the second quarter. The 28-year-old had another chance to serve as the team's No. 1 wideout with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, but he recorded his second straight one-catch performance. Moore finished the regular season having caught 50 of 85 targets for 682 yards and six scores while adding 79 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries over 17 contests. The wide receiver will now look to get back on track in the wild-card round next weekend against the Packers.

Bears' DJ Moore: Remains No. 1 receiver Sunday
Rotowire
Moore will remain the Bears' No. 1 receiver in Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Lions due to Rome Odunze (foot) being ruled inactive for the contest.
Moore has had his moments during the four games Odunze has missed before Sunday, posting a 9-166-3 line on 12 targets in Weeks 15-16. The veteran wideout saw a significant downturn in the Week 17 loss to the 49ers with a one-catch, seven-yard effort while battling an illness, but Moore should be back to full health Sunday as Chicago looks to clinch the No. 2 seed in the NFC with a win.

Bears' DJ Moore: Added to report, iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
The Bears added Moore to their injury report and list him questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers due to an illness.
Moore was a full participant in practice throughout the week, but his availability for Week 17 is suddenly in question after he presumably fell ill overnight. Along with Moore, the Bears list fellow wideout Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) as questionable for Sunday's contest, while Rome Odunze (foot) is slated to miss a fourth consecutive game. Clarity on the statuses of Moore and Zaccheaus should arrive when the Bears post their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but if neither player is available, Chicago would be left with Luther Burden, Devin Duvernay, Jahdae Walker and JP Richardson at receiver.

Bears' DJ Moore: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden III (ankle) are out in Week 16 against Green Bay, and Moore is worth starting as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues. He just had a standout game in Week 15 against Cleveland with four catches for 69 yards and two touchdowns on five targets, and he has now scored at least 22.9 PPR points in two of his past four games. The Packers have allowed six receivers to score at least 11 PPR points in their past three games, with seven touchdowns over that span, and Olamide Zacchaeus scored a touchdown against Green Bay in Week 14. Zaccheaus could also be a sleeper since he has four games this season with at least six targets, and he's averaging 12.6 PPR points over that span.

Bears' DJ Moore: Pair of scores in win
Rotowire
Moore recorded four receptions on five targets for 69 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-3 win over the Browns.
Moore didn't see a big bump in targets even with the continued absence of Rome Odunze (foot), finishing tied for second on the team with five opportunities. However, he delivered splash plays throughout the game to deliver a big fantasy performance. Moore's longest catch of the day went for 25 yards just before halftime, but his most impactful catches were scores of six and 22 yards -- the latter of which was a highlight-reel catch between two defenders. He remains an inconsistent producer, but he has now scored multiple times in two of his last four games while also topping 60 yards in both of those contests.

Bears' DJ Moore: Abysmal showing against Packers
Rotowire
Moore recorded one reception on three targets for minus-4 yards in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Packers.
Targets were expected to condense around Moore and Luther Burden with Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, but Moore was completely uninvolved. His three targets matched his season low, while his only catch came late in the second quarter. Moore now has under 20 receiving yards in four of Chicago's last five games.

Bears' DJ Moore: Three touches in win
Rotowire
Moore brought in two of five targets for 17 yards and rushed once for 10 yards in the Bears' 24-15 win over the Eagles on Friday.
Just five days following a two-touchdown effort against the Steelers, Moore was virtually a non-factor in Friday's upset victory. Moore has topped out at two catches and 18 receiving yards in three of his last four games, making his 5-64-2 line versus Pittsburgh in Week 12 an outlier within that stretch. Caleb Williams' inconsistencies certainly don't help the veteran receiver's cause, but he figures to at least draw plenty of targets in a critical Week 14 road clash against the Packers on Sunday, Dec. 7.

Bears' DJ Moore: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Moore was great in Week 12 against Pittsburgh with five catches for 64 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets, and he scored 23.4 PPR points. But this was just his second game with a receiving touchdown this season and first since Week 3, and it's only the second time he's had more than four receptions in a game and first since Week 2. It's hard to trust Moore as anything more than a No. 3 Fantasy receiver given his body of work this year, and the Eagles defense should make things tough on Chicago's passing attack since only two receivers have scored more than 11.5 PPR points against Philadelphia in the past four games. Rome Odunze is worth using as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy receiver, but even he's risky given this matchup.

Bears' DJ Moore: Two-TD tally in high-scoring win
Rotowire
Moore brought in five of seven targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
In what has been a rare instance this season, Moore outperformed fellow wideout Rome Odunze on the afternoon, leading the Bears in receptions and receiving yards while checking in second to his teammate in targets. Moore also was the only one of the two to get into the end zone, recording touchdowns of five and 25 yards in the first and third quarter, respectively. The veteran wideout hadn't scored since Week 3 prior to Sunday, and his performance snapped an ugly two-game funk during which he'd recorded just one catch for 18 yards on seven targets. Moore and the Bears' air attack draw a tough Week 13 matchup on Black Friday, when they'll travel to face the defending champion Eagles.

Bears' DJ Moore: One catch across last two games
Rotowire
Moore caught one of three targets for 18 yards and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Vikings.
Moore has just one catch in the last two games combined after recording at least three catches in each of the 18 preceding regular-season games. Recent first-round draft picks Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland have led Chicago's passing game in recent weeks, and Moore's opportunities have been limited in a run-first Bears offense. Moore's pedigree suggests he's likely to bounce back at some point, and a Week 12 home game against a Steelers defense that has struggled to defend the pass offers an opportunity for the 28-year-old wide receiver to do so.

Bears' DJ Moore: No injury designation
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Moore made it back to full practice participation by the end of the week after not taking part at all on Wednesday. He hurt his shoulder during last week's win over the Giants, briefly exiting the game before returning to a reduced role in the second half. Moore's target rate is just 17.8 percent this year -- his first time ever below 20 percent -- but recent comments from Bears coach Ben Johnson suggest the team is pleased with how Moore has adapted to a role with modest target volume. It could be a different story later this season if a brutal second-half schedule gets the best of the 6-3 Bears.

Bears' DJ Moore: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Moore had a monster game in Week 9 at Cincinnati with four catches for 72 yards, but he ran for a touchdown and threw one to Caleb Williams. That's not the type of production you want to chase for Moore, who has scored 9.6 PPR points or less in six games this season. He was held to three catches for 68 yards on five targets in Week 1 against Minnesota, and he just had no catches on four targets in Week 10 against the Giants. Moore is also dealing with a shoulder injury, which is worth monitoring heading into Week 11. I would only use Moore in deep, three-receiver leagues in the rematch with the Vikings.

Bears' DJ Moore: Dealing with shoulder issue
Rotowire
Moore didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.
Moore briefly exited this past Sunday's win against the Giants due to a shoulder issue but was able to return early in the third quarter. He proceeded to finish with no catches on four targets, his first time getting blanked in the box score since the Panthers made him a first-round pick in the 2018 Draft. Moore will have two more chances to practice this week before the Bears potentially make a ruling on his status for Week 11 action on Friday's injury report.

Bears' DJ Moore: Blanked in Week 10 win
Rotowire
Moore didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants.
Moore and Rome Odunze traded places after Moore led all Bears wide receivers in receiving yards while Odunze went without a catch in the Week 9 win over the Bengals. Prior to Sunday's goose egg, Moore had at least three catches in every game this season. Chicago's wide receiver room has been hit-or-miss with the Bears leaning more on the ground game lately, but Moore will try to get back on track in Week 11 against the Vikings, just as Odunze did against the Giants.
