Struggling Bears can find optimism in thriving connection of rookies Williams and Odunze

The future is murky at best for the Chicago Bears because of their need to hire a coach in the offseason, but one thing the Bears can be optimistic about is their rookie passing co...

Another busy afternoon Sunday Moore secured seven of 10 targets for 68 yards and rushed once for two yards in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Moore put together a signature PPR-friendly line, finishing second in receptions, receiving yards and targets behind Keenan Allen and his season-best performance. Moore has at least seven catches in five of the last six games and six grabs in the other contest in that sample, affording him a coveted safe floor in PPR formats heading into a Week 17 home matchup against the Seahawks on Thursday night where he should also garner a fair share of Caleb Williams' attention.

Posts PPR gem Monday Moore hauled in all eight of his targets for 46 yards in Monday's 30-12 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Moore led the Bears in receptions despite seeing five fewer targets than fellow wideout Keenan Allen. The latter produced the better fantasy score after reeling in his fourth touchdown in as many weeks, but Moore provided an especially strong line for those in PPR formats. Expect both of Chicago's top receivers to be busy in Week 16 with a tough matchup on tap against the Lions on Sunday.

DECEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Leading receiver on six receptions Moore (quadriceps) finished with six receptions on eight targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 38-13 loss to San Francisco.

Impact Moore overcame a quadriceps injury in order to suit up Sunday and lead the Bears in all receiving categories except scoring. That honor went to rookie wideout Rome Odunze, who cashed in both of Caleb Williams' late touchdown strikes in the lopsided loss. Moore's production paled in comparison to his previous two contests in which he racked up 15 receptions for 203 yards and two scores. The durable receiver should remain a focal point of Chicago's passing attack when the team visits Minnesota next Monday.

DECEMBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Playing in Week 14 Moore (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's game in San Francisco.

Impact Moore was contained to just one limited practice (Friday) during Week 14 prep, but he relayed to Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com afterward, "I play through everything." Indeed, Moore will be available to the Bears offense for the 13th time in as many contests this season, and he's coming off his most productive two-game stretch of the season (15-203-2 line on 23 targets) from Weeks 12 and 13.

DECEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Looks likely to play Week 14 Moore (quadriceps), who is questionable for Sunday's matchup versus San Francisco, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Schefter's report seems to confirm Moore's own words Friday, when he suggested he would be able to take the field against the 49ers. The veteran receiver last missed a regular-season contest in 2020, so he's proven to be able to push through the wears and tears of the NFL season. If Moore is indeed able to play Sunday, he'll try to build upon a pair of consecutive big performances, as he totaled 15 catches for 203 yards and two touchdowns over the past two weeks.

DECEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Optimistic he'll play Moore (quadriceps) is optimistic he'll play against the 49ers on Sunday, after being listed as questionable on the final injury report, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact "I play through everything," Moore said Friday, suggesting he expects to play despite managing just one limited practice at the end of the week. He's missed two games in seven NFL seasons, with a concussion holding him out for the 2019 finale and then COVID keeping him out Week 14 of 2020. Moore has played through his fair share of minor injuries, but he's also had better luck than most at simply avoiding them in the first place. In any case, it sounds like his odds are better than 50/50 to avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 14 Moore (quadriceps) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moore logged a limited practice session Friday, but it appears his quad injury has a legitimate chance of impacting his availability for Week 14. The standout receiver's status will be made official no later than 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) is also listed as questionable for Sunday's road matchup, though on a bright note for Chicago, Keenan Allen does not carry an injury designation after returning to practice as a full participant Thursday.

DECEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined for another practice Moore (quadricep) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact While Keenan Allen (ankle) returned to practice Thursday as a full participant after sitting out Wednesday, Moore remained a spectator for the second straight day. In order to avoid taking a designation into Sunday's game at San Francisco, Moore will likely need to practice in at least a limited fashion Friday. If Moore can't shake off the quad injury ahead of Sunday's contest, Allen and fellow wideouts Rome Odunze and tight end Cole Kmet would represent the top pass-catching options for quarterback Caleb Williams.

DECEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Wednesday Moore (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Moore is fresh off an 8-97-1 (16 targets) performance logged during Chicago's 23-20 loss to the Lions on Thanksgiving, and in the process it appears that he picked up a quad injury. Keenan Allen (ankle) is also sidelined at practice Wednesday, and it's possible the Bears are simply taking a cautious approach to the health of their top two wideouts, but Moore's status now needs to be carefully monitored ahead of Sunday's road matchup against the 49ers. Rookie first-rounder Rome Odunze would step into an increased role on offense if either Moore or Allen are forced to miss any time.

Bears fire coach Matt Eberflus after skid marked by poor decisions late in games

Matt Eberflus has been fired by the Chicago Bears, one day after botching a timeout in a loss to Detroit

NOVEMBER 29 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Resurgence continues Thursday Moore caught eight passes for 97 yards and one touchdown on 16 targets against Detroit on Thursday.

Impact There were some missed opportunities and overall it wasn't an efficient day for Moore on a per-target basis, but the target volume and resulting production still made it a good day for Moore's fantasy investors. That the Bears managed to lose in such memorable and embarrassing fashion might provoke further shakeups in the Chicago coaching staff, but the last two weeks have otherwise been encouraging for Moore. The Bears face San Francisco on the road in Week 14.

NOVEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Perfect effort in OT loss Moore recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings.

Impact Moore showed the ability to connect with Caleb Williams in all areas of the field in the loss, as he had long gains of 37 and 27 yards, the latter of which set up a game-tying field goal to send the game to overtime. He also worked effectively in the short areas of the field, including on a 10-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter -- his first trip to the end zone since Week 5. While it's been a disappointing season for Moore, he has 14 receptions on 14 targets for 168 yards across two games since Chicago made a change at offensive coordinator.

NOVEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE

Team-high catch total in loss Moore secured all seven targets for 62 yards and rushed once for five yards in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Moore led the Bears in receptions while checking in second in receiving yards in Chicago's first game under interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. The veteran wideout's catch total was his highest since Week 3, while his yardage tally was his best over the last five games. Given Moore hadn't cleared 33 receiving yards in the last four contests under former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, there's reason for optimism heading into a Week 12 home clash against an inconsistent Vikings secondary.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in Sunday's loss Moore caught three of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Patriots. He added three rushing yards on his lone carry.

Impact Caleb Williams was sacked nine times on the day and had no time in the pocket behind an injury-ravaged offensive line, and as a result Moore's production suffered once again. Over the last four games, the star wideout has managed just a 13-104-0 line on 24 targets. Unless the offensive line gets healthier, Moore and the rest of the Bears' skill players will be tough to trust heading into a Week 11 rivalry game against the Packers.

Struggles continue Moore recorded four receptions on nine targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 29-9 loss to the Cardinals.

Impact Moore saw his highest target total since Week 3, but he continued to struggle to get on the same page with Caleb Williams. He managed a 16-yard gain to help set up a field goal just before halftime but otherwise failed to make much of an impact on the game. Moore now has under 40 receiving yards in five of eight contests for the campaign.

Another poor perfromance Moore caught two passes for 27 yards in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday. He also rushed twice for seven yards.

Impact Moore struggled in a game in which Caleb Williams completed just 10 passes. However, the receiver has been held to 27 or fewer receiving yards in three of the last four games. The pass catcher has one game this season with double-digit PPR points, and Moore is on pace for one of the worst seasons of his career.

Low yardage in victory Moore caught four passes for 20 yards in the Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday in London.

Impact Moore was tackled just short of the goal line on a play that could have salvaged his fantasy day. With the Bears dominating the Jaguars, there was little need to force passes to Moore, so the receiver saw a season low five targets. On the season Moore has at least eight targets on four occasions, so he'll usually be a high-floor fantasy option with big-game potential.
