D.J. Moore

Rome Odunze also remained out of practice on Wednesday. Odunze was always likely to miss Week 16 after being a late scratch on Sunday. Burden, on the other hand, could've had a more optimistic outlook if he returned to practice today. Instead, he is now likely to join Odunze on the bench this week. D.J. Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus will serve as the team's top wideouts this week. Moore will sit on the WR2/3 border while Zaccheaus is set for a WR4 ranking.

Bears HC Ben Johnson labeled WR Luther Burden "day to day" with the ankle injury that knocked him out of the Week 15 win over the Browns. "Still something that we re working through and talking about," Johnson added. "We ll see how this week goes, in terms of whether we ll have him Saturday night." It at least sounds like Burden dodged a serious injury, but consider him iffy for Saturday night's game against the Packers. With WR Rome Odunze likely to miss that one with his foot injury, Chicago could be down to WRs D.J. Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus. We'd expect TE Colston Loveland's role to expand in that case.

One week after an abysmal 0.6-point performance, D.J. Moore took advantage of the unexpected absence of Rome Odunze to 4-of-5 targets for 69 yards and 2 TDs in Chicago's 31-3 win over the Browns. Moore's performance came after consecutive duds, during which he caught 3 balls for 13 total yards in Weeks 13-14. Those two games followed a Week 12 5/64/2 showing, highlighting Moore's erratic week-to-week consistency that have made him one of the most frustrating players of the seaosn.

Rome Odunze was sidelined for Week 14 because of a stress fracture in his foot. In need of someone to step up, Moore was nowhere to be found. His only catch of the day was a touch pass that was blown up for a loss of four. He had another screen target that was so thoroughly sniffed out by Green Bay that he was actually hit a fraction of a second before the ball made it to his hands. Moore's usage has devolved into primarily designed touches this year and that didn't change with Odunze out. He will barely register as a WR6 for Week 15 against the Browns.

Bears WR Rome Odunze has been playing through a stress fracture in his foot, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. It's unclear when Odunze suffered the injury. He was on the injury report with a heel as far back as Week 9, but this week is the first time he's been listed with a foot. Pelissero adds that Odunze "just needs rest and is week-to-week. The belief is it s nothing long term and he ll be back soon." We'll keep you updated on Odunze's health going forward, but he seems more likely than not to miss multiple games with this injury. His absence leaves behind 7.5 targets per game, boosting the fantasy outlooks on WRs Luther Burden, D.J. Moore, and Olamide Zaccheaus and TE Colston Loveland.
