Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET, DraftKings Sportsbook analyst Steve Buchanan and NFL guru Meghan Townsley chop up the latest injury news on Injury Report Live! Check out what they have to say about this latest injury to D.J. Moore (quad).
The Bears may have lost in heartbreaking fashion last Thursday, but fans at least got to see Caleb Williams ($5,600) put together an impressive second-half comeback. Much of the credit for the sudden turnaround can be given to D.J. Moore ($6,100). The seven-year veteran served as the top option in the passing game, putting up an impressive eight-catch, 97-yard stat line against the Lions. Unfortunately, a quad injury has kept the receiver out of practice for most of the week. Although Moore told reporters on Friday that he was feeling “optimistic” about playing, there’s no guarantee the team will risk his health now that Chicago’s season is all but finished.
If Moore can’t play, are there any Bears worth starting vs. the 49ers this week? Meghan (@mtownsleyy) and Steve (@SBuchanan24) analyzed Chicago’s offense during Friday’s edition of Injury Report Live:
- Keenan Allen’s ($5,600) volume has gone up significantly lately. Over the past two weeks, the veteran has grabbed 14 catches, 159 receiving yards and three touchdowns off of a team-high 23 targets. His price is worth monitoring this weekend.
- Although the Bears will likely find themselves playing from behind, San Francisco’s defense has been tough on opposing quarterbacks (fourth-fewest passing yards allowed this season).
- It might be tough for some managers to swallow, but a Williams-Allen stack could make a ton of sense if Moore is out.
