All the talk in Chicago this week has been Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze's monster career day against the Detroit Lions. Mostly because it was the only positive thing that happened in the game.
In the Bears' 52-21 blowout to the Lions on Sunday, Odunze led the way with seven receptions for 128 yards and two touchdowns. It was the type of day every Bears fan has been waiting for as the future WR1 for the franchise.
Don't forget about DJ Moore, though, and what he can do. That's what Bleacher Report writer Gary Davenport is advising fantasy football players with Moore, as he can see the wide receiver has a good week, recommending him to start.
"Moore (and the entire Bears passing game) has been quiet over the first two games of Ben Johnson's tenure as head coach. But if ever there was a "get right" week for the Chicago this is it—no team in the NFC is allowing more passing yards per contest than the 283.0 the Cowboys are surrendering."
Moore could be in for the breakout game in 2025 he's been searching for
It's been a decent start to the season for Moore, who has caught eight passes for 114 yards and run the ball three times for eight yards. Caleb Williams has made it clear, though, that he is targeting Odunze more than Moore right now.
In fantasy football terms, though, Moore has been less than desirable to start in the lineup. Depending on the point system in the league, Moore has scored anywhere between 10 and 19 points total in two weeks. That would put him around 60th at wide receiver in fantasy.
The thing that makes Moore just as attractive an option in fantasy is Bears head coach Ben Johnson using him in the backfield and his ability to run the football. Moore is also facing one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL, with a chance to put up big numbers against them.
