D.J. Moore Set to Play, Looking for Bounce-Back Performance Against Saints

Saturday, October 18, 12:12 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore (groin) is off the injury report and set to play in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints. Moore was hospitalized following the team's Week 6 win over Washington due to a groin injury, but he practiced in full this week and is ready to go. It's been a slow start to the 2025 season for Moore, who has totaled 240 yards and one touchdown on 27 total attempts through five games. With Rome Odunze emerging as the team's WR1, Moore has struggled to find consistency. However, he gets a chance to rebound against a Saints defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. After New Orleans was torched by Drake Maye and the Patriots in Week 6, there's real upside for the Bears' passing attack this week. Moore profiles as a solid WR3 with bounce-back potential in Week 7.

Javonte Williams Records Second 100-Yard Rushing Game in Week 7

Monday, October 20, 12:17 AM

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams had his second 100-yard rushing performance of the season in the Week 7 victory over the visiting Washington Commanders on Sunday. In the 44-22 win, Williams was dominant on the ground, going for 116 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries (6.1 yards per carry). It was the 25-year-old's second game in 2025 with over 100 rushing yards, and it was a nice bounce-back effort after he had a season-low 29 ground yards on 13 carries in last week's loss to the Carolina Panthers. He added just one catch on four targets for a gain of two yards. Williams showed his bruising style of play and was able to pick up chunk gains out of the backfield against a weak Commanders defense on Sunday. He is averaging over 5.0 yards per tote in his first year in Dallas and is well on his way to a breakout in his fifth NFL season in Dallas' high-scoring offense. Williams has become a must-start RB2 in fantasy, but it could be tough sledding against his old team, the Denver Broncos, in a Week 8 showdown.
