Bears WR D.J. Moore lining up in backfield

Aug 12, 2025

D.J. Moore has been lining up in the backfield from time to time as the Bears try to find as many ways as possible to get the ball into the hands of one of their most dynamic players. On Monday, Moore said it has been “daunting” to learn a new position but added that it’s why he gets “paid the big bucks” so he’s going full speed in his embrace of the new twist to the offense.

Fantasy Impact:

Moore was quoted as saying he wants to, ‘‘Just do it all and just attack it.’’ It should be a great sign for his fantasy owners as any time an offense wants to find more ways to get a player touches is never a bad thing. In this case, it's a pretty crowded offense in terms of overall talent, but it looks like the Bears want to keep Moore involved.

Chargers RB Kimani Vidal 'next man up'

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh says RB Kimani Vidal will be "next man up".

Also says Hortiz will be scouring the market to see what is available at the position.

Related players: Omarion Hampton, Najee Harris, Hassan Haskins

Fantasy Impact:

With Harris lost for the season and Hampton expected to see a larger role ahead of Haskins, it means Vidal is just another injury away from possibly seeing significant snaps.

Chiefs hopeful to have WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) for Week 4

Ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS), the Chiefs are optimistic Xavier Worthy will be able to play a limited role for the offense while wearing a small harness. Patrick Mahomes and HC Andy Reid say they are confident the Chiefs can continue to be successful on deep passes with Tyquan Thornton running routes alongside Worthy. By Week 7, Mahomes' dropbacks could feature him having a combination of quality options -- such as Travis Kelce, Thornton, Worthy, Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown.

Fantasy Impact:

Slowly the Chiefs offense is starting to get healthy and back to what everyone envisioned at the start of the season. Worthy has a chance to play in Week 4 but the team is already saying he'll be limited, so fantasy owners will want to monitor just how much Worthy will play or maybe in what situations.

Titans HC Brian Callahan no longer calling plays

After an ugly start to the season, Titans head coach Brian Callahan has fired himself as the offensive play caller in Tennessee.

The team announced today that quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree will call plays.

Fantasy Impact:

Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz will remain in place, an unusual arrangement in which a team has an offensive coordinator but another assistant gets the play calling responsibility, the story points out. Callahan went 3-14 last season and so the leash may be getting shorter for him and his staff.
