BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1
ANALYSIS: The long nightmare for Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is over. After playing without starting quarterback Justin Fields for about a month, Moore got back on track last week in Fields' return, catching seven passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. It was his most yards since Oct. 5 against the Commanders when he caught eight passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns.
Coincidentally, that was the last time Fields played a full game. The third-year quarterback has developed a strong rapport with Moore, which has made the former Panthers wide receiver a top fantasy option. He still provided solid numbers when Fields was out, but all three of his 100-yard games came with Fields under center. He's had a touchdown or 100 yards in all but one of Fields' starts this year, with that one poor game coming way back in Week 1 against the Packers when he was held to two catches for 25 yards.
This week, the Bears face the Vikings, who allow the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. This could be a big game for Moore, who rates as a low-end WR1 this week but definitely has the upside to finish this game with one of the highest fantasy scores of any wide receiver.
