Caleb Williams and Bears offense upbeat over return of Keenan Allen to practice

The Chicago Bears passing game is starting to take off and quarterback Caleb Williams expects it can improve at an even faster rate this week against the Los Angeles Rams with wide...

Eight grabs in Sunday's loss Moore caught eight of 10 targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 21-16 loss to the Colts.

Impact The veteran wideout actually finished third on the Bears in both receiving yards and targets behind Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet, as Caleb Williams erupted for 363 passing yards. More than half of Moore's production came on a hail mary at the end of the first half, when he caught a tipped ball at the one-yard line but couldn't get into the end zone. Moore has consistently been Williams' first read and has 28 targets through three games, and that volume could start turning into more production if the rookie quarterback is beginning to shake off his jitters. Moore will look to build on this performance in Week 4 against the Rams.

Leads team in receiving on SNF Moore finished with six receptions (10 targets) for 53 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to Houston.

Impact Moore continues to be rookie quarterback Caleb Williams' favorite target through two games this season. The volume has helped offset the star wideout's lack of touchdowns as the Bears continue to search for a passing score through eight quarters of action. Moore's production should rise alongside improved play from his rookie signal-caller as Chicago prepares to travel to Indianapolis in Week 3.

Shows rapport with Williams Moore recorded five receptions on eight targets for 36 tards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.

Impact Moore didn't have a particularly strong stat line, but he showed the best rapport with Caleb Williams of the Bears' pass catchers. He caught each of Williams' three longest completions, which went for gains of 13, 12 and 11 yards. While it was a disappointing start to the season for Chicago's offense, better production can be expected in future weeks and Moore looks to still be the centerpiece of the unit after his excellent 2023 campaign.

10 Highest paid wide receivers in the NFL

Most starters to sit Thursday Coach Matt Eberflus said Tuesday that the majority of Chicago's starters will sit for Thursday's preseason finale against the Chiefs, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Impact Eberflus specified that quarterback Caleb Williams won't play Thursday, and it seems all but assured that Moore will be included in the group of players held out until the regular-season opener against Tennessee. Moore has spent the offseason developing chemistry with Williams, whose presence under center promises to notably upgrade Chicago's passing game, even accounting for any time needed to adapt to the speed of the NFL. Even if the additions of Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze threaten Moore's ability to replicate his 28.8 percent target share from last season, an improved offense as a whole could represent a net positive to Moore's fantasy prospects, at least in terms of consistency.

Catches pair of Williams passes Moore caught two of three targets for 27 yards in Saturday's 33-6 preseason win over the Bills.

Impact Moore was the only wide receiver to record a catch while rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is in the game, as Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze combined for only one target. Those offseason additions could cut into Moore's volume after Moore led the team with 136 targets last season, but Chicago's entire passing game has a much higher ceiling with Williams under center than it did with Justin Fields last season. Moore will look to keep building chemistry with Williams as the Bears continue preseason play next Saturday against the Bengals.

Inks extension Moore and the Bears have come to terms on a four-year, $110 million extension that includes $82.5 million guaranteed, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact After spending his first five seasons in Carolina, Moore produced career highs across the board with the Bears in 2023, including 1,364 yards and eight touchdowns on 96 receptions. The Chicago offense will look drastically different this year, as Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze join the receiving room and 2024 first overall pick Caleb Williams takes over as the starting QB. Chicago also added tight end Gerald Everett and running back D'Andre Swift in the offseason, so it seems unlikely that Moore will be able to match his 28.8 percent target share from last year, regardless of his salary.
