Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Rome Odunze

Thursday, November 27, 7:55 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore was able to find the endzone twice in Week 12, totaling 64 yards on five receptions in the 31-28 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite his strong showing against Pittsburgh, Week 12 marked just his second game of the season with seven or more targets in a game. Whether it's due to the emergence of Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and Colston Loveland or the strong workload given to the run game, Moore is a risky option for fantasy managers moving forward. The Eagles host the Bears this weekend, and their secondary has given up the 10th most yards to wide receivers in 2025. Despite the ideal matchup, Moore is a FLEX play at best in Week 13.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) will not participate in the team's Week 14 matchup with the Packers, as he has been ruled out with a foot injury that has held him out of practice all week. Odunze has run hot and cold this season, and he is coming off a rough Black Friday outing that saw him catch only two of six targets for eight yards. His absence should lead to increased looks for veteran DJ Moore and rookies Luther Burden III and Colston Loveland, all of whom have fallen victim to the Bears' hot hand rotation at times throughout the year. The Packers defense has been one of the stingiest fantasy matchups across all positions, but in a game that could decide the top spot in the NFC South, a healthy 44.5 point over/under should lead to scoring opportunities across the board.
