Moore didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants.
Moore and Rome Odunze traded places after Moore led all Bears wide receivers in receiving yards while Odunze went without a catch in the Week 9 win over the Bengals. Prior to Sunday's goose egg, Moore had at least three catches in every game this season. Chicago's wide receiver room has been hit-or-miss with the Bears leaning more on the ground game lately, but Moore will try to get back on track in Week 11 against the Vikings, just as Odunze did against the Giants.

Bears' DJ Moore: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Luther Burden III (concussion) is out for Week 9 against the Bengals, which is a boost for Moore. And he's coming off a solid game in Week 8 at Baltimore with four catches for 73 yards on seven targets. We haven't seen a lot of high-end production from Moore this season, and he only has two games with at least 11.6 PPR points. But given the matchup against Cincinnati, and with Burden out, Moore could get a bump in targets and do well playing opposite Rome Odunze in Week 9. I like Moore as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.

Bears' DJ Moore: Cleared for Sunday
Rotowire
Moore (hip/groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Moore hasn't been practicing on Wednesdays but typically makes it back to full participation by the end of the week. That was the case this time around, setting him up for his usual role against a struggling Big Blue defense.

Bears' DJ Moore: Practices in limited fashion
Rotowire
Moore (hip/groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
As was the case in each of the previous three weeks, Moore has began Week 10 prep as a non-participant before upgrading to a limited practice a day later. Assuming the pattern from previous weeks continues to hold, Moore will practice fully Friday and avoid an injury designation for this Sunday's game against the Giants. In the four games since the Bears' Week 5 bye, Moore is averaging 67.3 yards from scrimmage and has scored one touchdown.

Bears' DJ Moore: Not practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Moore (hip/groin) did not practice Wednesday.
Moore and Rome Odunze (ankle/heel) both began Week 9 as non-participants at practice before being cleared for Chicago's upset win over the Bengals, so both wideouts could simply be set to again have their reps capped approaching Sunday's contest against the Giants. He managed to score twice versus Cincinnati, albeit in unorthodox fashion, with one passing touchdown (a connection to Caleb Williams) and one rushing score. Luther Burden (concussion) managed to practice in full Wednesday.

Bears' DJ Moore: Scores via pass and rush
Rotowire
Moore went 1-for-1 passing for two yards and one touchdown, added four receptions for 72 yards on six targets, and rushed once for 17 yards and one touchdown in the Bears' 47-42 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Moore has 145 receiving yards over his last two contests (72 this game and 73 last week) after failing to reach 60 yards in any of his previous five. He's working his way back into weekly WR3 territory with multi-phase involvement boosting his opportunities.

Bears' DJ Moore: Good to go
Rotowire
Moore (hip/groin) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Chicago's top four WRs were all listed on the injury report this week, but only No. 4 receiver Luther Burden (out - concussion) hasn't been cleared to play. Moore thus figures to handle his usual role, though perhaps with a bit more upside for carries and screens in the absence of RB D'Andre Swift (out - groin).

Bears' DJ Moore: Upgrades to limited practice
Rotowire
Moore (hip/groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
After each of the Bears' top four receivers -- Moore, Rome Odunze (heel), Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) and Luther Burden (concussion) -- sat out Wednesday's session, the team received some good news with all but Burden logging limited workouts Thursday. Assuming Moore is able to maintain limited participation or upgrade to full activity Friday, he should be in line to play this Sunday in Cincinnati.

Bears' DJ Moore: Sits out practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Moore (hip/groin) did not practice Wednesday.
Moore wasn't assigned an injury designation Week 8 against Baltimore despite logging a DNP/LP/FP practice slate, and the Bears could have a similar plan in mind ahead of Sunday's road contest against the Bengals. Fellow wideouts Rome Odunze (heel), Luther Burden (concussion) and Olamide Zaccheaus (knee) also missed practice Wednesday, as did top running back D'Andre Swift. Moore corralled four of seven targets for a season-high 73 receiving yards versus the Ravens in Week 8, and if he manages to suit up versus Cincinnati while other notable skill-position players remain sidelined, an opportunity to build upon that momentum may present itself.

Bears' DJ Moore: Four grabs in Baltimore
Rotowire
Moore caught four of seven targets for 73 yards and added three rushing yards on two carries in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Ravens.
The 73 yards were a season high for Moore, although most of that production came late in the fourth quarter on a desperation heave by Caleb Williams that the 28-year-old wideout made a spectacular one-handed grab on as he raced down the sideline. Moore has taken a back seat to Rome Odunze in the Bears' passing game this season, leaving him with a 26-331-1 line on 38 targets through seven games, but he's maintained a steady PPR floor by catching at least three passes in every contest. Moore will look for a ceiling game in Week 9 against the Bengals.

Bears' DJ Moore: Practices in limited fashion
Rotowire
Moore (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Moore was able to take some reps in the Bears' second Week 8 practice after he was held out of Wednesday's session entirely while nursing a hip issue. The Bears haven't yet indicated that Moore's status for Sunday's game in Baltimore is in any jeopardy, but he'll most likely need to upgrade to full participation in Friday's practice to avoid taking a questionable tag into the weekend.

Bears' DJ Moore: WRs to Sit
Rotowire
Moore continues to struggle heading into Week 8 at Baltimore, and he has scored 8.2 PPR points or less in three games in a row. He's been held under 50 receiving yards in five games in a row, and he has just one touchdown on the season. It's a great matchup since the Ravens are No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, but Rome Odunze is the only Chicago receiver to trust in this game. Moore is, at best, a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in deeper leagues in Week 8.

Bears' DJ Moore: Leads team in receiving yards
Rotowire
Moore secured three of five targets for 43 yards and rushed once for nine yards in the Bears' 26-14 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Moore went from still being in a DC-area hospital Tuesday morning following the Bears' Week 6 win over the Commanders to pacing Chicago in receiving yards and sharing the team lead in receptions Sunday. Moore didn't look any worse for wear after suffering a groin injury versus Washington, and he's now cleared 40 receiving yards in consecutive games for the second time this season. The Bears' passing attack remains a relatively low-volume one most weeks, but Moore will remain an important target for Caleb Williams in a Week 8 road matchup against the Ravens next Sunday afternoon.

Bears' DJ Moore: Good to go
Rotowire
Moore (hip/groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints.
He started his week in the hospital but finished it as a full practice participant. Whatever the issue was after Monday's win over Washington, it apparently won't impact Moore's Week 7 availability. He should have his usual role, which has been plentiful in terms of snaps but far less fruitful for targets and production.

Bears' DJ Moore: DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Moore (hip/groin) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report.
During Monday's 25-24 win at Washington, Moore paid a visit to the sideline tent but played through whatever was bothering him, logging 60 of 64 offensive snaps (94 percent) and hauling in three of five targets for 42 yards and two carries for 10 yards. Afterward, he was admitted to a local hospital for a precautionary medical evaluation, and coach Ben Johnson relayed to Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network on Tuesday that Moore was dealing with a groin injury. The Bears listed hip and groin issues as the reasons for Moore's DNP at Wednesday's walkthrough, so his status bears watching in advance of Sunday's game against the Saints.

Bears' DJ Moore: Admitted to hospital
Rotowire
Moore was transported to a hospital following Monday night's game against the Commanders, and he will be held overnight for precautionary medical evaluation, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
The details surrounding Moore's admission to the hospital are unclear. He briefly spent time in the medical tent in the first half but was back on the field after halftime and well into the fourth quarter. Coach Ben Johnson is expected to provide further details about Moore's status at some point on Tuesday afternoon.

Bears' DJ Moore: Nets 52 yards in win
Rotowire
Moore brought in three of five targets for 42 yards while adding 10 rushing yards on two attempts in Monday's 25-24 win over Washington.
Moore finished in a tie with fellow starter Rome Odunze with both players recording five targets apiece in Monday's win. The former had the superior fantasy score when factoring in his work as a rusher. Moore has been a bit of a letdown in fantasy with his 19-215-1 receiving line across five starts. The 28-year-old still is providing enough of a floor for his managers to warrant starting against the Saints on Sunday.

Bears' DJ Moore: Pedestrian outing Sunday
Rotowire
Moore brought in four of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 25-24 win over Las Vegas.
The 28-year-old took a back seat to Rome Odunze (4-69-1) yet again, as a changing of the guard appears to have taken place in Chicago's receiver room. Moore still possesses a consistent role in new head coach Ben Johnson's offense, garnering five to six targets on a weekly basis, but expectations need to be tempered even if QB Caleb Williams takes a big step forward coming out of Chicago's upcoming Week 5 bye.

Bears' DJ Moore: Saves day with late TD
Rotowire
Moore recorded four receptions on five targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-14 win over the Cowboys. He added three rushes for seven yards.
Moore continued to be overshadowed by Rome Odunze, but he also lost out to Luther Burden in the blowout win. Moore still finished second on the team in targets, but his longest gain went for only 12 yards as he was targeted exclusively in short areas of the field. He saved his day with a four-yard touchdown catch late in the fourth quarter, his first trip to the end zone this season. Nevertheless, Moore has yet to see more than six targets in a game and has topped 50 receiving yards only once in three contests.

Bears' DJ Moore: Listed as full Wednesday
Rotowire
Moore (abdomen/groin) was listed as full on Wednesday's practice estimate, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Moore remained on the turf for multiple minutes after being hit by two Vikings defenders while trying to haul in a Caleb Williams pass in the fourth quarter of Monday's loss. He remained in the game, though, and finished with three catches (on five targets) for 68 yards, three carries for eight yards and a lost fumble while playing 84 percent (56 of 67) of the offensive snaps. Wednesday's injury report clarifies the health concerns that Moore is dealing with, but his lack of limitations indicate he'll likely gut through them in Sunday's contest at Detroit.
