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.
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (ankle) is listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury. The 2018 first-round pick is enjoying the best season of his career, compiling 92 receptions for 1,300 yards and eight touchdowns through 16 games. While there's no indication he'll miss the Week 18 game against the Green Bay Packers, the Bears could play it safe since they are already eliminated from playoff contention. Ultimately, fantasy managers and DFS gamers should monitor his practice status for the rest of the week. If he's active, he's a must-start fantasy option and will have plenty of upside in DFS tournaments this weekend.
