Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Rome Odunze

Friday, December 19, 9:53 PM

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.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) did not practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Saturday's divisional rematch against the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 16, according to the team. Odunze will miss a third straight game while he deals with a stress fracture in his foot, and it's sounding like the Bears will hold him out through the end of the regular season so that they'll have him closer to 100% for the playoffs. In addition to Odunze, Chicago will be without rookie wideout Luther Burden III (ankle). Running back D'Andre Swift (groin) and tight end Cole Kmet (ankle, knee) are also questionable. Quarterback Caleb Williams will be missing some key weapons against a strong Packers defense, even if they're missing pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee). DJ Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Devin Duvernay figure to be the Bears' top-three receivers on Saturday evening.
