The Chicago Bears will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14. 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.
Is DJ Moore Playing in Week 14?
Moore (quad) failed to participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday. He returned for a limited session on Friday and is considered questionable for Week 14.
Despite his status, Moore indicated on Friday that he was optimistic about playing on Sunday.
DJ Moore is optimistic that he'll play vs. San Francisco despite being listed as questionable. He injured his quad running a wheel route early vs. Detroit and played through it.
Moore: "I play through everything."

This is a new injury, and unlike Keenan Allen, it appears to be more than a maintenance issue. Moore hasn’t missed a game since 2020. He’s an incredibly durable player, so if he’s sidelined for Sunday’s game, he must be battling a severe injury.
First-round rookie Bears WR Rome Odunze would finally see every-down snaps next to Allen if Moore is out.

Should You Start or Sit DJ Moore in Week 14?
Moore earned 44.4% of the targets on Thanksgiving on his way to an ultra-impressive 8-97-1 stat line. He’s caught at least seven passes in three straight games, the type of streak that can be sustained for extended periods of time when you flash the type of versatility that Moore has recently.
Previous two weeks: 14 targets and 26 air yards
Thanksgiving: 16 targets and 168 air yards
He’s trending in a great direction with consecutive top-10 finishes (he had only one top-20 finish before this run), and that’s great to see but doesn’t mean he is free of his risk. This Chicago offense remains spotty, something that is evident by the fact that Moore hasn’t seen an end-zone target since Week 8.
I’m Flexing Moore, ranking him in the same tier as Jerry Jeudy and Brian Thomas Jr., two receivers who carry a wide range of outcomes due to a lack of QB stability.
