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.

Mason Taylor Draws Five Targets in Jets Loss

Tuesday, October 21, 8:32 AM

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor bounced back a little bit from a one-catch game in London, hauling in three of his five targets on Sunday for 31 yards. The second-round pick played 93% of the snaps for the Jets and has been almost an every-down option for New York the last few weeks. With Garrett Wilson (knee) out, Taylor finished second on the team with five targets behind only Josh Reynolds, who drew nine targets from Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor. Neither quarterback made the offense look great, but Taylor is involved enough to be worth a look if you need help from the waiver wire at tight end, especially if Wilson is out another week. Taylor and the 0-7 Jets visit the Bengals this week before their Week 9 bye week. The Bengals have been the most generous matchup in the NFL for tight ends this season, so Taylor has upside to consider as a one-week solution.
