DJ Moore's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

On Tuesday evening, wide receiver DJ Moore and the Chicago Bears agreed to a four-year deal worth $110 million, with $86 million guaranteed, per Adam Schefter. With two years remaining on his previous contract, Moore now joins the ranks of other big-name wide receivers who have signed lucrative extensions this offseason, like Justin Jefferson, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and a host of others. Moore spent the first five seasons of his career in Carolina, but after being traded to the Bears last offseason, he became a true WR1. For the Bears in 2023, Moore set career-highs in receptions (96), receiving yards (1,364), and total touchdowns (nine) en route to his top-10 fantasy season at wide receiver. This extension secures Moore's future in Chicago with rookie signal-caller Caleb Williams, and for fantasy, it places Moore as a rock-solid WR2 in drafts.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore's current contract runs through the 2025 season, so nothing is urgent at this time, but he's currently 17th among wideouts in terms of average salary and is coming off a career year in his first year in Chicago in which he caught 96 passes on 136 targets for a career-high 1,364 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in 17 starts. Moore has become one of the faces of the franchise, and general manager Ryan Poles might want to reward him with a new deal sooner than later. Fellow receiver Keenan Allen will be a free agent after the 2024 season and is likely to enter the year on an expiring contract, as the Bears want to see what he has left at 32 before considering keeping him around beyond one year. Moore certainly has more competition for targets with Allen around now, but he's a pretty safe WR2 target this fall.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore wrapped up the strongest season of his career in a mild manner in Week 18, catching four of six targets for 64 yards in the team's 17-9 loss to the Packers. The star receiver finished with a career-best in receiving yards (1300) and touchdowns (eight) while going over 100 yards in a game five times this season. The former Panther finished the season as the WR8 in PPR formats, averaging over 19 points per game when Justin Fields plays the whole game. In his first year with the team, Moore added exactly what this Bears' offense needed, and his skillset combined with Fields' ability to throw the deep ball has been a perfect match. He's talked about how much he loves playing with Fields, but it's uncertain who will be the quarterback for the Bears in 2024. Moore will look to build on a career year in 2023 next year with Chicago.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore suffered an ankle injury in Week 16 against the Cardinals but returned to the game. In Week 17, the star receiver had an injury designation before full participation in practice on the Friday before the game, and he went on to catch nine of 13 targets for 159 yards and a touchdown. The former Panther finished with over 30 PPR points for the second time this year and the first since his Week 5 outburst on Thursday Night Football. With Justin Fields healthy, Moore has put up at least 20 PPR points in six of the last eight games, with the only games less than that coming against the best defense in the NFL and a game he was injured in. Leading up to Week 18, his status was in question after sitting out the first two practices, but full participation on Friday means he should be good to go Sunday. The Bears take on the Packers in Week 18, who allow the 19th-most points per game to receivers this season. He ranks as a low-end WR1 ahead of the final game of the season.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (ankle) was limited in practice for the second day in a row due to an ankle injury. The 26-year-old was initially hurt in Week 16 but was able to play in last Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. He looked just fine in that contest, catching nine of 13 targets for 159 yards and a touchdown. Moore already has career highs in receiving yards (1,300) and touchdowns (8) and needs two more catches in Week 18 to set a new personal best in that category, too. Given Moore's strong showing in Week 17, the Bears are likely just exercising caution before their season finale against the Green Bay Packers.
