2024 Fantasy Outlook
Moore topped 940 yards from scrimmage in each of his five seasons with the Panthers, but he never went higher than 1,215 yards and averaged just 4.2 touchdowns. Change was needed for him to take the next step as a fantasy asset, and that's exactly what happened after an offseason trade in 2023 even though the Bears offense and passing game struggled on the whole Moore averaged 8.0 targets per game, which was was actually slightly less than the 8.3 he averaged over his four non-rookie years in Carolina, more than making up for it with career highs for catch rate (70.6 percent), catches (96), total yards (1,385) and touchdowns (nine). That, after three straight seasons with a catch rate below 58 percent in miserable Carolina offense. The Bears' passing game overall was a different story, with Moore and TE Cole Kmet combining for 47 percent of targets and 61 percent of receiving yards. Justin Fields and backup QB Tyson Bagent both struggled immensely on passes that went to the ancillary pass catchers, averaging a combined 5.3 yards per attempt. That'll be less of a problem after the Bears traded for WR Keenan Allen, drafted WR Rome Odunze ninth overall and signed TE Gerald Everett and RB D'Andre Swift, though Fields won't be the one to benefit, as the trade that secured Moore in the first place now pairs him with mega-prospect Caleb Williams. The massive increase in target competition figures to end Moore's three-year streak earning at least 27.5 percent of his team's passes, but there should be more volume to go around overall with Williams replacing the sack/scramble-happy Fields.

RANKS
Returning to remade offense
Moore worked out in April with Bears QB Caleb Williams and fellow Bears WRs Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The workouts took place shortly before the draft, at which point Williams was all but locked in as the No. 1 overall pick for Chicago (and Odunze considered a strong candidate to join him at No. 9). The Bears ended up with both, completing their offseason makeover on offense after trading for Allen and signing RB D'Andre Swift and TE Gerald Everett. The crowded pass-catching corps means Moore is unlikely to match his career-high 28.8 percent target share from 2023, though there likely will be more overall targets, as the Bears figure to call pass plays at a higher rate and will no longer have sack/scramble-happy Justin Fields under center.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Endorses Fields as team's QB
Moore said after Sunday's loss to the Browns that he believes Justin Fields is the best quarterback option for the Bears moving forward, Courtney Cronin of ESPN reports. "I'm still like, bruh, where are y'all seeing this?," Moore said. "What makes him not the quarterback for the Chicago Bears right now? ... What, it's like two of them? I don't think they're better than Justin."
ANALYSIS
The two other potential quarterback options Moore referenced are college quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Drake Maye, whom the Bears could be in position to draft in the first round with either Carolina's 2024 first-round draft pick or Chicago's own pick. Moore was kept out of the end zone by the Browns in Sunday's 20-17 loss, but all seven of Moore's receiving touchdowns in his first season with the Bears have come in the 10 games started by Fields.

2018
Moore's talent outweighed his production during five season in Carolina, where the 2018 first-round pick ended things on a low note last year with a 53.4 percent catch rate and 888 yards from 118 targets. He did score seven touchdowns, his first time with more than four, and a move to Chicago as part of the trade for this year's No. 1 overall pick could put Moore in an average or even above-average offense for the first time in his NFL career. On the other hand, teams with quarterbacks as mobile as Justin Fields don't tend to throw a ton of passes, and the Bears finished last in the league last year with 377. That number should rise now that Fields has a legit trio of pass catchers in Moore, Darnell Mooney and Cole Kmet, but it's still unlikely to be an ideal landing spot in terms of fantasy production, especially in PPR formats where volume tends to be king.
