#Bears WRs Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze are questionable for the #Texans game.

Allen hasn't practiced all week. Odunze was limited today.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Tyler Scott, DeAndre Carter, Velus Jones

Reading the tea leaves, it seems as if Allen has a better chance at playing than Odunze but that isn't set in stone or anything. As it stands, treat Allen as a solid WR3 and try to keep Odunze on your bench. D.J. Moore is a must-start, even with Caleb Williams' poor Week 1 performance.

Reading the tea leaves, it seems as if Allen has a better chance at playing than Odunze but that isn't set in stone or anything. As it stands, treat Allen as a solid WR3 and try to keep Odunze on your bench. We'll keep an eye on this tomorrow for updates leading to Sunday.

Bears rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze played his first regular season game on Sunday and he’s having his first regular season MRI on Monday.

Head coach Matt Eberflus told reporters at his Monday press conference that the first-round pick is going to have imaging done on his knee.

Odunze caught one pass for 11 yards in Sunday’s win over the Titans but he played 43 of the team’s 56 offensive snaps. The story went on to say Eberflus said it’s not clear when the injury happened as Odunze played through the end of the game, but whatever issue he reported was serious enough to send him for tests. The story added the Bears are in Houston for Sunday Night Football in Week 2, but we may not know until later this week about Oduzne and his status.

Bears receiver D.J. Moore has agreed to a four-year extension. It has a base value of $110 million with $82.6 million guaranteed, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media.

That’s a new-money average of $27.5 million.

Moore had two years left on his prior contract. He was due to make $15.85 million in 2024 and $14.85 million in 2025. He’s now under contract for six years at $130.35 million. It’s an average from signing of $21.725 million, the story said. As for Moore's fantasy outlook, the team also acquired target-hog Keenan Allen and drafted the talented Rome Odunze in the first round, so Moore’s target competition got a lot stiffer. Even with a quarterback and possible OC upgrade, it will be hard for Moore to overcome all the target competition to remain a fantasy WR1. We rank him 18th on our list heading into drafts.

Chargers are trading WR Keenan Allen to the Bears for a fourth-round pick.

The Chargers pass-catching group now looks very dire. There is no doubt that they will be loading up wherever they can through the draft but the offense looks questionable heading into 2024.

Velus Jones is all but guaranteed to lose the slot role he was pegged for in Chicago, as their WR room is starting to look pretty great. Caleb Williams could be in for an exciting rookie season, were the Bears to go that route.

Justin Fields' legs yet again saved a mediocre passing game last week, and it looks like he may have to do without some of his best weapons yet again. D.J. Moore should be peppered with targets upon his return, which will make him a safe WR2 for Championship Week.

The Bears did not do enough to utilize D.J. Moore, who they acquired in a blockbuster trade with Carolina. Moore is expected to be the legit No. 1 receiver the Bears have been lacking in recent years, but he was targeted twice in the second quarter, with both catches totaling 25 yards. The ball did not come his way again.

“It’s important for us to be able to get the ball to our best skill,” Eberflus said. “We have to do a better job there. “Were the plays designed for [Justin Fields] to go there sometimes? Yep. And they had some different coverages rolled up to him at times and different things that they were doing, which some teams are going to do, but we certainly have to find ways to feed DJ and feed our skill.”

The Bears passing attack was supposed to be improved this year with the addition of Moore. But as the story said, Fields only had four passes travel at least 10 yards downfield. One of those plays resulted in a third quarter touchdown to Darnell Mooney. Another turned into a pick-six.

Sources say the Bears are trading the No. 1 overall pick to the Panthers in exchange for big-time compensation including multiple 1st rounders. Chicago loads up and lands at No. 9, while Carolina can draft its QB of the future.

Compensation update, per sources: Bears trading No. 1 overall pick to Carolina for:

-pick No. 9
-pick No. 61
-a first-round pick in 2024
-a second-round pick in 2025
-WR D.J. Moore

Moore finally cracked the four-touchdown mark in 2022, but he only gained 888 yards receiving after three straight 1157+ yard seasons. In theory, Justin Fields represents an upgrade from the quarterbacks that have been throwing to Moore in recent years. His arrival is a downgrade for Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet, though it was expected that the Bears would address the receiver position in a major way this offseason.

Panthers WR D.J. Moore, who exited Sunday's win early, will have imaging done today on his ankle. Tests will determine the seriousness of the injury.

Moore was in on 69/72 offensive snaps on Sunday, and his only fantasy output came on two rushes for six yards. He has been a borderline fantasy bust, with a rotating cast at quarterback, and now, possible finger and ankle ailments. Laviska Shenault led the team in targets (four) in Sam Darnold's second start of the season.

Panthers officially announced Baker Mayfield as their opening-day starting quarterback vs. the Cleveland Browns.

Mayfield gets a fresh start in Carolina. We expect him to post serviceable numbers for the Panthers. He was the QB18 in 2020 prior to a QB23 finish last season, though he dealt with some injuries. The weapons in Carolina are pretty solid. Moore is a solid WR1 and McCaffrey is arguably the best receiving back in the league.
