DJ Moore Loses Some Value Without Fields
1 year agoChicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore was truly coming into his own in Weeks 4 and 5, showcasing remarkable performance by amassing 16 catches for 361 yards and scoring four touchdowns during that span. However, a cloud of uncertainty looms as the team prepares for the upcoming game. Justin Field (thumb) was ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a thumb injury, paving the way for backup Tyson Bagent to start in Week 7. The absence of Fields is expected to deal a significant blow to the Bears' passing game, making it less likely for Moore to achieve elite-level production with Bagent as the signal-caller. Adding to the challenge, the Raiders' defense currently ranks 23rd in points allowed to wide receivers this season, making this an unfavorable matchup for the Bears' star receiver on multiple fronts. Fantasy football managers are bracing for an uncertain outcome, hoping Moore can overcome the odds and deliver an impactful performance despite these setbacks.
