Thanksgiving Day: the perfect time to gather with family, enjoy a wonderful meal, and compulsively check your phone 136 times while explaining what target share is to your Uncle Doug, who doesn't understand why nobody has a fullback anymore.
This Turkey Day, we'll take a look at the top three Chicago Bears receivers in Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, and Rome Odunze, who will be in action against the NFC-leading Detroit Lions.
All three have been fantasy darlings at times, but knowing which one will pop in a given week has taken some educated guesses and a bit of luck.
Should I Start Keenan Allen for Fantasy Football?
Allen finished as the PPR WR6 last week and has 39 targets during his past four games, but has been one of the most feast-or-famine fantasy receivers this season. In nine games, he has two top-10 finishes among receivers -- but six outside of the top 40.
This is why the Chicago Bears brought over Keenan Allen. He hasn’t lived up to the hype (NEWS FLASH: the entire offense hasn’t) but this is how he helps Williams develop.
53 seconds left, game on the line, Caleb trusts him to win his 1v1 & he does.

Managers who are not enjoying the huge ups and downs can't be blamed. A decent matchup against the Lions and progress by quarterback Caleb Williams are encouraging, but a short week and the Bears' offensive volatility makes it tough to burn a flex spot on Allen.
Should I Start DJ Moore for Fantasy Football?
Moore enters the Thanksgiving matchup with Detroit coming off his best finish of the season, ending the week as WR4 in PPR formats for a massive performance against Minnesota. Detroit ranks 29th in average depth of target and 26th in air yards allowed, but also has surrendered the fewest passing touchdowns in the NFL and hurries the quarterback at the second-highest rate in the league.

Since making an offensive coordinator change, however, Moore has caught all 14 of his targets for 168 yards in two games. With Williams coming off his best game in a month, Moore is a sneaky WR3/flex candidate against a Detroit defense that ranks 19th against fantasy receivers.
Should I Start Rome Odunze for Fantasy Football?
In a productive passing day against Minnesota last week, Odunze was the odd man out among the top three receivers, though he still finished with a solid five catches for 39 yards. Unfortunately for managers who roster the rookie, that line has been pretty standard in as the Bears have struggled to find an identity on offense.

Odunze has finished outside the top 30 wide receivers in PPR formats seven of the past eight weeks, and the only exception was a 22nd-place finish. While the young receiver's long-term potential is obvious, his role on this offense is too hard to trust with fantasy playoffs in the near future.

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? Jauan Jennings, Courtland Sutton, Michael Pittman Jr.
The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
