DJ Moore Dealing With a Groin Injury

Tuesday, October 14, 5:23 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (groin) was taken to a hospital in Washington, D.C. on Monday night for precautionary reasons following the team's one-point win over the Commanders. Moore stayed in the hospital overnight, but head coach Ben Johnson said that he is now back in Chicago, according to Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network. The Bears will continue to monitor Moore's status going into their Week 7 contest against the New Orleans Saints. The 28-year-old was seen going into the medical tent on Monday night, but he eventually returned to the field and caught three of his five targets for 42 yards while also carrying the ball twice for 10 yards. It's unclear at this time if Moore is in danger of missing Week 7, but we should know more later in the week once the Bears resume practicing on Wednesday. If Moore cannot play this Sunday, rookie Luther Burden III would become flex-worthy in fantasy as the No. 2 behind Rome Odunze.

DK Metcalf Scores a Touchdown for the Fourth Straight Game

Sunday, October 12, 10:34 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf looked fresh coming off the bye week in the 23-9 victory over the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 6 on Sunday. Metcalf scored a touchdown for the fourth straight game and also caught four of his nine targets on the day for 95 yards. The efficiency wasn't great, but Metcalf once again led the team in targets and receiving yards in a game in which the Steelers were never really threatened. The veteran wideout made up for his lack of efficiency against Cleveland by going for over 20 yards on all four of his receptions. Metcalf is clearly quarterback Aaron Rodgers' top target every week in a receiving corps that doesn't have many other exciting options in the passing attack. In addition to four straight games with a touchdown, Metcalf has topped 80 yards in three of his first five games in Pittsburgh. The 27-year-old should be a busy man on Thursday night in Week 7 in an excellent matchup against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals and their weak defense.
