The Chicago Bears will face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. 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 17?
Ja’Marr Chase and Moore are the only two players with active streaks of 6+ games of 6+ catches. It goes without saying that not all volumes are created equal, but that’s not a bad list to be on, especially if you think we get the “good” Caleb Williams to round out 2024.
Moore has been a top-35 receiver in each of those six weeks but only has two top-25s on his résumé. The Seahawks own the fourth-lowest opponent aDOT this season — that means I think we see more of the same this week: low ceiling, high floor. He’s the type of player that top-seeded teams in fantasy playoffs love to play and underdogs don’t love to use.
That’s a good reminder to use rankings, especially this time of year, as a guide and not a Bible. Every situation has a unique context that impacts decision-making.
