The Chicago Bears will face the Detroit Lions in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR DJ Moore.

Should You Start or Sit DJ Moore in Week 13?
It took over two months, but the Bears are finally using DJ Moore in an optimal way, and that has him in my Flex tier for this week.
Moore’s aDOT trends, 2024:
Weeks 1-9: 9.8 yards (12.3% production under expectation)
Weeks 10-12: 2.7 yards (31.3% production over expectation)
Last weekend, Moore scored on a screen pass on a play that looked easy. Not every short pass is going to have the blocking line up quite like that, but he has hauled in all 14 of his targets over the past two weeks, and that stabilizes his floor in a way that not many players experience when playing alongside a rookie.
That’s nice for Moore’s outlook for the remainder of the season … starting next week. The Lions are the fourth-best defense on a rate basis at preventing scores to the slot and the very best when looking at all short passes thrown.
The Bears are going to continue to look to get Caleb Williams as many reps as possible, and with Moore tabbed as my highest-ranked receiver in this offense, there are going to be usable weeks ahead.
