Bears Experimenting with DJ Moore in Backfield

Tuesday, September 2, 1:21 AM

The Chicago Bears lined up wide receiver DJ Moore in the backfield several times throughout training camp, according to ESPN's Courtney Cronin. This is an interesting development, and it could be the product of Rome Odunze continuing to blossom into a top receiver. While Moore should remain atop the depth chart, Odunze's ascension could force the Bears to get creative with how they use their other pass-catchers. That includes Moore, the 28-year-old who had 966 receiving yards and six touchdowns on a career-high 98 catches last season. He also attempted a career-high 14 rushes. New Bears head coach Ben Johnson was previously the offensive coordinator in Detroit, so perhaps Moore and Odunze are his new Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. For what it's worth, those two Lions receivers combined for 13 carries last season, with Williams accounting for the bulk of the attempts. Fantasy managers should continue to view Moore as a high-end WR2. Meanwhile, Odunze has WR2 upside, as well.
