Resurgence continues Thursday Moore caught eight passes for 97 yards and one touchdown on 16 targets against Detroit on Thursday.
Impact There were some missed opportunities and overall it wasn't an efficient day for Moore on a per-target basis, but the target volume and resulting production still made it a good day for Moore's fantasy investors. That the Bears managed to lose in such memorable and embarrassing fashion might provoke further shakeups in the Chicago coaching staff, but the last two weeks have otherwise been encouraging for Moore. The Bears face San Francisco on the road in Week 14.

Perfect effort in OT loss Moore recorded seven receptions on seven targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings.
Impact Moore showed the ability to connect with Caleb Williams in all areas of the field in the loss, as he had long gains of 37 and 27 yards, the latter of which set up a game-tying field goal to send the game to overtime. He also worked effectively in the short areas of the field, including on a 10-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter -- his first trip to the end zone since Week 5. While it's been a disappointing season for Moore, he has 14 receptions on 14 targets for 168 yards across two games since Chicago made a change at offensive coordinator.

Team-high catch total in loss Moore secured all seven targets for 62 yards and rushed once for five yards in the Bears' 20-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Impact Moore led the Bears in receptions while checking in second in receiving yards in Chicago's first game under interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown. The veteran wideout's catch total was his highest since Week 3, while his yardage tally was his best over the last five games. Given Moore hadn't cleared 33 receiving yards in the last four contests under former offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, there's reason for optimism heading into a Week 12 home clash against an inconsistent Vikings secondary.
NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE
Quiet in Sunday's loss Moore caught three of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Patriots. He added three rushing yards on his lone carry.
Impact Caleb Williams was sacked nine times on the day and had no time in the pocket behind an injury-ravaged offensive line, and as a result Moore's production suffered once again. Over the last four games, the star wideout has managed just a 13-104-0 line on 24 targets. Unless the offensive line gets healthier, Moore and the rest of the Bears' skill players will be tough to trust heading into a Week 11 rivalry game against the Packers.

Struggles continue Moore recorded four receptions on nine targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 29-9 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Moore saw his highest target total since Week 3, but he continued to struggle to get on the same page with Caleb Williams. He managed a 16-yard gain to help set up a field goal just before halftime but otherwise failed to make much of an impact on the game. Moore now has under 40 receiving yards in five of eight contests for the campaign.

Another poor perfromance Moore caught two passes for 27 yards in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday. He also rushed twice for seven yards.
Impact Moore struggled in a game in which Caleb Williams completed just 10 passes. However, the receiver has been held to 27 or fewer receiving yards in three of the last four games. The pass catcher has one game this season with double-digit PPR points, and Moore is on pace for one of the worst seasons of his career.

Low yardage in victory Moore caught four passes for 20 yards in the Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday in London.
Impact Moore was tackled just short of the goal line on a play that could have salvaged his fantasy day. With the Bears dominating the Jaguars, there was little need to force passes to Moore, so the receiver saw a season-low five targets. On the season, Moore has at least eight targets on four occasions, so he'll usually be a high-floor fantasy option with big-game potential.

Two TDs in Week 5 win Moore caught five of eight targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Panthers.
Impact Moore got the Bears on the board with a 34-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter and added a 30-yard touchdown reception late in the first half. He set a season high in receiving yards and is the clear top option in a Bears receiving corps that also includes Keenan Allen and rookie first-round pick Rome Odunze, who combined for 73 yards on 12 targets in Sunday's win. Moore has three touchdowns in his last two games heading into a Week 6 matchup against the leaky Jacksonville secondary in London.

First TD with Williams Moore secured three of six targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Impact Moore tied with Cole Kmet for second on the team in receptions and was the runner-up in targets as well. However, on what was otherwise a pedestrian afternoon, Moore had a hand in a notable moment when he secured a nine-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter from Caleb Williams, his first in conjunction with the rookie first overall pick. Moore's slight drop in production is likely an outlier given he's been heavily involved each week to date, and he'll have a chance for a bounce-back effort against a vulnerable Panthers secondary at home in Week 5.
