FantasyPros on MSNFantasy Football Outlook: DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Luther Burden
Every year, fantasy football experts and managers alike devote countless hours to dissecting ambiguous backfields. These unclear situations are risky, but they are also one of the best places to find cheap upside in your fantasy drafts.
Since Moore left the Panthers, the team has used two first-round picks on wide receivers. Xavier Legette was the No. 32 overall pick in last year's draft while Tetairoa McMillan was the No. 8 overall pick in this year's draft.

RotoBaller on MSNDJ Moore Totals 16 Yards Against Bills
Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore caught two passes for 16 yards in his preseason debut against the Buffalo Bills. Moore caught a six-yard pass from quarterback Caleb Williams on the first drive and a 10-yard out route that moved the chains on third down.
Wide receiver DJ Moore isn’t ready to call himself a running back — he has been in one meeting, a solo session with position coach Eric Bieniemy — but he doesn’t mind lining up in the backfield, either. That’s something the Bears have been toying with in practice, all in the name of finding creative ways to get Moore the ball.
What’s changed: No team experienced more impactful turnover than the Bears this offseason. They canned head coach Matt Eberflus and replaced him with Lions offensive architect Ben Johnson. Chicago then revamped their offensive line before drafting tight end Colston Loveland in the first round and wide receiver Luther Burden in the second.
The 2023 trade that saw the Chicago Bears acquire wide receiver DJ Moore, along with several picks, from the Carolina Panthers was a masterclass by GM Ryan Poles.
Moore corralled both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's preseason win over the Bills.
