Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson said that he had a "really good" exit interview with wide receiver DJ Moore and called him a key guy who helped the team get as far as they did this season, according to Jasson Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times. Johnson called Moore a "huge contributor." Moore certainly finished on a high note, scoring in both of the team's playoff games and finding the end zone five times in the final six contests. However, the 28-year-old finished the 2025 campaign with career lows in receptions (50) and receiving yards (682) while finding the end zone six times in 17 games played. He definitely stepped up when Rome Odunze missed the final five regular-season games with a stress fracture in his foot, but for most of the year, he was hit or miss and extremely inconsistent for fantasy managers. Going into 2026, it could be more of the same for Moore, especially if Odunze gets over his foot ailment.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore posted a strong outing in his final game of the 2025 season, recording five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in his team's NFC Divisional Round loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-year-old was a standout performer across Chicago's two postseason games, hauling in 11 receptions for 116 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets. However, Moore had his least productive regular season since his rookie year, recording 50 catches for 682 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets across 17 games. Going forward, the Bears have a trio of young pass-catchers in wide receivers Luther Burden III and Rome Odunze, as well as tight end Colston Loveland, who could push Moore down Chicago's target-share pecking order. Moore's future status with the Bears could be a storyline for fantasy managers to monitor over the course of the offseason.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (knee) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final injury report for Sunday's Divisional Round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Bears Communications. Meanwhile, fellow wideout Rome Odunze is questionable as he continues to battle a stress fracture in his foot. Moore played 86% of the offensive snaps in last week's Wild-Card win over the Green Bay Packers and caught six of his seven targets for 64 yards and his seventh touchdown reception of the year. The Rams' defense has been a pretty solid fantasy matchup for opposing receivers this year, but managers must take into account that there are expected to be brutal weather conditions in Chicago on Sunday night that will make it difficult for the passing attack. Moore has been a boom/bust flex option for fantasy managers all year.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (knee) was a limited practice participant on Thursday as he battles a lingering knee issue, per Michal Dwojak of Bears Insider. Moore was also listed on Chicago's injury report in the lead-up to the team's Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Green Bay Packers. However, he was active for the game and recorded six receptions for 64 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Barring a setback, it seems likely that Moore will be able to play in the Divisional round against the Los Angeles Rams. The 28-year-old had a rough close to the regular season, recording just two receptions for 18 yards on seven targets over his final two outings. Still, he led all Chicago wide receivers in snap share in his bounce-back performance against the Packers. Moore profiles as a low-end wide receiver option for fantasy managers in the Divisional round.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (knee) was listed as a limited participant during the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Moore was also listed on last week's injury report due to a knee injury, but he was eventually removed and caught six of a season-high seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Wild-Card win over the division-rival Green Bay Packers. The 28-year-old also led the team's WRs with an 86% snap share. It was a bit of a surprise with Rome Odunze returning from a foot injury that kept him out of the final five regular-season games. Moore and the Bears will face a Los Angeles Rams defense in the Divisional Round that has had trouble slowing down opposing offenses in recent weeks, and they gave up the 11th-most half-PPR points to opposing wideouts during the regular season. However, Moore's role could shrink with Odunze another week removed from his foot injury.
Jan 14, 2026 6:47 PM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore caught six of seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers. He also lost five yards rushing. The highlight of Moore's game was a 25-yard touchdown catch with just 1:48 left in the fourth quarter. The score put Chicago ahead 31-27, and that score would hold for the final 108 seconds as the Bears completed an improbable comeback and punched their ticket to the Divisional Round. Moore was relatively underwhelming as just the WR35 in full-PPR leagues this year, but there's no denying that he has a flair for the dramatic. He has scored game-winning touchdowns in each of the Bears' last two games against the Packers, and he has scored at least 17.9 full-PPR fantasy points in three of his last five games. The 28-year-old will look to stay hot as the Bears advance to face the Rams in the Divisional Round next weekend.
Jan 11, 2026 8:12 PM EST
Chicago wide receiver DJ Moore, along with most of the Bears' pass catchers, has had an up-and-down fantasy season, finishing as a top ten receiver four separate times in Half-PPR formats, while landing outside the top 50 in six different weeks. With Rome Odunze (foot) carrying no injury designation into Saturday night's Wild Card matchup with the Packers and Luther Burden III (quad) completely clear of the injury report, Chicago's receiving core enters the playoffs as healthy as it has been in weeks. With so many mouths to feed, someone may be left hungry, and too many times this season that distinction has fallen to Moore. He is RotoBaller's WR15 for the week on the strength of his big-play upside, but he is a risky play in the opening round of fantasy playoff leagues.
Jan 10, 2026 3:47 PM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (knee) is good to go for Saturday night's Wild-Card game against the division-rival Green Bay Packers after being removed from the injury report on Thursday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Moore finished second on the team with 682 receiving yards and was tied for the team lead with six touchdowns in 17 games during the regular season. The 28-year-old also had five catches for a season-high 97 yards and a touchdown in the big overtime win over the Packers in Week 16. In two games since then, though, Moore has a combined two catches for 18 yards. Moore can break big plays, but his floor is dangerously low, as evidenced by five games in 2025 with either one or zero catches. He profiles as a boom/bust WR2 on Wild-Card weekend in playoff leagues, especially with Rome Odunze (foot) returning after a five-game absence.
Jan 8, 2026 2:41 PM EST
For the second straight day this week, Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Moore's fantasy stock is at an all-time low heading into the playoffs and a Wild-Card matchup against the division-rival Green Bay Packers on Saturday night at Soldier Field. Not only could Moore take a questionable tag into the weekend if he doesn't practice in full on Thursday, but he's coming off back-to-back one-catch efforts in the final two games of the regular season with Rome Odunze (foot) out of action. The 28-year-old has become extremely hard to trust as a WR4/flex in fantasy lineups, and especially so this weekend with Odunze expected to return after missing the last five weeks. Don't expect Moore to show out the way he did the last time he faced Green Bay, when he caught five of seven targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in the overtime win.
Jan 7, 2026 6:08 PM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (knee) had an underwhelming season in 2025, recording 50 receptions for 682 yards and six touchdowns on 85 targets across 17 games. With Bears wideout Rome Odunze (foot) missing the team's final five games of the regular season due to a foot injury, Moore seemingly had a chance to re-emerge as Chicago's WR1. However, Moore struggled down the stretch, recording just two receptions for 18 yards on seven targets over his final two outings. Heading into Chicago's Wild Card Weekend matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Moore was listed as a limited practice participant on Tuesday due to a knee issue. Additionally, Odunze was able to get back to practice in a limited capacity, which could signal his return for the first round of the playoffs. Between Moore's fading play and uncertain health, as well as Odunze's possible return, fantasy managers in playoff leagues may find Moore tough to trust entering the postseason.
Jan 7, 2026 11:59 AM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (knee) was listed as limited in Tuesday's practice due to a knee injury, according to Chris Emma of 670 The Score. It's unclear how serious Moore's knee injury is, but it could help explain why he caught just two passes on seven targets for 18 yards in the final two games of the regular season against the 49ers and Lions, with fellow wideout Rome Odunze (foot) still sidelined by injury. The 28-year-old Moore did have five catches for a season-high 97 yards and a touchdown in the Week 16 victory over the division-rival Green Bay Packers, and he also scored twice the week prior against the Cleveland Browns. If Moore is active on Wild-Card weekend against Green Bay on Saturday night, he'll be a low-floor fantasy option at receiver, especially if Odunze makes his return to Chicago's receiving room.
Jan 6, 2026 5:59 PM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore followed up back-to-back top-seven fantasy performances in Weeks 15 and 16 with a one catch, 25-yard outing in Week 17 that was good enough for WR97 in Half-PPR formats. All of this came after finishing Week 14 with negative yardage. Although he came into Week 17 with an illness that threatened to keep him sidelined, this has been the DJ Moore experience for most of the season, alternating brilliant performances with colossal letdowns. For fantasy managers still competing for a Week 18 championship, Moore is hard to trust, even against Detroit's bottom-three pass defense. Luther Burden III (quad) carries no injury designation into Sunday after being carted off the field at the end of Chicago's Sunday Night loss to the 49ers, and Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) has been a full practice participant after missing the same game with an illness of his own. Moore is RotoBaller's WR26 for the week, but he comes with considerable risk.
Jan 3, 2026 3:53 PM EST
There is a possibility that the Chicago Bears will look to trade wide receiver DJ Moore this offseason, potentially to the Las Vegas Raiders in a package that would include All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby. The Raiders are heading into a full rebuild in 2026 and could use a receiver for their expected No. 1 overall pick of a quarterback. Meanwhile, the Bears need an elite pass-rusher. The 28-year-old Moore has not been a great fit in Chicago's offense in 2025 in head coach Ben Johnson's first season. After a 1,000-yard season in 2023 in his first year in the Windy City, Moore has regressed over the last two years and currently sits at 49 catches for 671 yards and six touchdowns in 16 games played. The emergence of rookie receiver Luther Burden III late this year certainly could make Moore expendable this offseason.
Jan 1, 2026 5:49 PM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (illness) is officially active for Sunday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17. He had been listed as questionable after the Bears added him to the injury report on Sunday morning. There had been some concern about his status, but in the end, he was able to shake the illness and feels healthy enough to play. Moore has impressed lately with nine catches, 166 yards, and three touchdowns over his last two games. He played a major role in last week's win over the Packers, highlighted by a big game-winning touchdown catch in overtime. This week, Moore and Luther Burden III will operate as some of Caleb Williams' top targets with Rome Odunze (foot) and Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) ruled out. The 28-year-old is a solid WR2 option in fantasy football.
Dec 28, 2025 7:11 PM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (illness) has been added to the injury report and is officially questionable to play against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football in Week 17. Moore was not on the injury report earlier this week, so it appears that he picked up the illness sometime over the last 36 hours. Bears-49ers kicks off at 8:20 p.m., creating a challenging situation for fantasy managers. If managers choose to keep Moore in their lineup, they should roster another option from the 49ers, Bears, Rams, or Falcons in case Moore gets ruled out prior to kickoff. If he plays, though, he has high upside. He enters this week as a fantasy WR2 with Rome Odunze (foot) ruled out and Olamide Zaccheaus (illness) listed as questionable.
Dec 28, 2025 12:38 PM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore stole the show in Week 16's thrilling victory over the Green Bay Packers. Moore hauled in five of seven targets for 97 yards and the game-winning 46-yard touchdown. With both Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden III (ankle) inactive last week, Moore played his highest snap count of the season and set season highs in yards and targets. In the last two weeks, Moore has totaled 166 yards and three touchdowns in games where Odunze was out. He faces a 49ers defense that has allowed the 14th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. With their secondary banged up entering Week 17, Moore has another opportunity to perform as the WR1 in the Bears offense.
Dec 27, 2025 4:46 PM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has been on a tear over the previous few weeks and is poised to retain an elevated role in the offense amid injuries to his teammates. Moore felt like an afterthought in Chicago's attack early in the campaign. Through the first nine games of the year, the University of Maryland alum had recorded just one touchdown and three double-digit fantasy performances. However, he's been more involved over the last month or so, particularly with fellow wideout Rome Odunze (foot) battling a nagging foot issue. While it's unclear if Odunze will miss a fourth straight outing, he's yet to practice in any capacity since Week 15. Furthermore, rookie Luther Burden III (ankle) could also be out again. If one or both are inactive, fantasy managers can rely on Moore as a solid WR2 with upside against a vulnerable San Francisco 49ers defense on Sunday Night Football.
Dec 25, 2025 12:00 PM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore hauled in five of seven targets for 97 yards and a touchdown, while adding 12 rushing yards in the 22-16 overtime victory over the Green Bay Packers. After being held without a catch in the first half, Moore erupted, reeling in the game-winning 46-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Caleb Williams. With Rome Odunze (foot) and rookie Luther Burden III (ankle) inactive for Saturday's showdown, Moore was the top receiver, leading the team in nearly every statistical category and playing a season-high 95% of the snaps. With no update on whether either receiver will be back by their Week 17 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, Moore could once again operate as the WR1 in this offense and be a must-start option if Odunze and Burden are ruled out once again.
Dec 21, 2025 11:53 AM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is in a smash spot entering Week 16's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Moore hauled in four of five targets for 69 yards and two touchdowns in last week's dominant victory over the Cleveland Browns. Now, the Bears will be without top receiver Rome Odunze (foot) and ascending rookie Luther Burden III (ankle), which opens up targets for Moore and the rest of the Bears' receiving corps. They face the Green Bay Packers in Week 16, who have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. It's been a rocky road for Moore this season, but with the injuries to Odunze and Burden, along with an ideal matchup, he is a locked-in WR2 in Week 16.
Dec 19, 2025 9:53 PM EST
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore is coming off a 69-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Browns that was good enough to make him a top-five fantasy wide receiver for the third time in the last seven weeks. The Bears now head into a Week 16 divisional matchup with the Packers, and with the rest of their receiving corps at less than full health, Moore could be in line for another impactful fantasy outing. Neither Rome Odunze (foot) nor Luther Burden III (ankle) has been able to participate in the first two practices of the week, while Cole Kmet (ankle, knee) was limited both Monday and Tuesday. Moore had his worst outing of the season in Week 14 against this same Packers defense, finishing the game with negative receiving yardage, but he heads into the Saturday rematch as RotoBaller's WR 39 for the week and should rise higher if Odunze and Burden are unable to suit up.
