Now that he is in Chicago, what is his fantasy value? and  is he worth a pick for your team?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2022, DJ Moore finished as the WR24 in fantasy, just ahead of guys like Zay Jones, <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/eagles-tear-juju-smith-schuster-over-lame-valentines-roast-of-james-bradberry\/\">Juju Smith-Schuster<\/a> and Chris Olave. To be fair to DJ Moore he never really was a fantasy star because of his situation in Carolina, from 2018 when he was drafted, the Panthers have had 6 starting QBs. But now he has <a href=\"https:\/\/beargoggleson.com\/posts\/chicago-bears-justin-fields-news-colin-cowherd-bust\">Justin Fields<\/a> by his side, a QB who is primed for a breakout season. So can Fields elevate Moores fantasy value in 2023?<\/p>\n<p>We have seen the threat Fields imposes on the run, he is one of the most dangerous QBs in the league in terms of rushing the ball. He also has a cannon of an arm up his sleeve, we have seen glimpses of it all year but most NFL fans are still skeptical of Fields ability as a passer. This might just cause Moore to fall in your fantasy draft, but the truth is Fields is still probably the best QB Moore has had in his entire NFL career.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Day 2 of posting a random highlight from 22-23 season until the NFL season starts. <br \/>Here\u2019s a great throw and catch from Justin Fields and Darnell Mooney against the Vikings in Week 6! \ud83d\udd25<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DaBears?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DaBears<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChicagoBears?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ChicagoBears<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zD7juYEdLs\">pic.twitter.com\/zD7juYEdLs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Grandad\u2019s Attic Media (@GrandadsAtticWW) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GrandadsAtticWW\/status\/1639661871123890176?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>IN 2023, Moore is going as the WR22, but he isn&#8217;t the only WR in that range with concerns as well. The WR23, Christian Watson may have had a solid rookie year with Aaron Rodgers, but nobody knows how reliable Jordan Love is as a starting QB. The WR21, DeAndre Hopkins, might not have shown any serious signs of regression thus far in his career but it is still a concern given his age, and who knows how well he will even fit in the Titans offense. Out of those 3 WRs i think Moore is in the second best situation while Watson is in the worst. I think that Fields has the ability to be a good passing QB and he is by far the best QB Moore has had. If Moore can produce with Sam Darnold, why can&#8217;t he produce with Justin Fields? I am a fan of walking out of the first 2 rounds with pass catchers and then grabbing 2 RBs in the following 2 rounds so if you grab Moore in the 6th or early 7th he could be a solid option for your WR3. In an Ideal world, I would take a TE in the 5th because after the 6th their is a serious drop off in productive TEs. Then I would head in to the 6th with 2 WRs, 2 RBS and 1 TE, in the 6th I would then target another WR, <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/calvin-ridley-and-brad-guzan-being-robbed\/\">Calvin Ridley<\/a> or Terry McLaurin Would be my first choice if possible, but Darnell Mooney would also be another solid selection in that round.<\/p>\n<p>So should you draft Fields? Yes, he is a solid pick if you can get him at the right value but don&#8217;t reach on him assuming he is going to have a breakout year, because is isn&#8217;t but he is still a solid pick in the 6th round who will be highly productive.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TEDDY B TO DJ MOORE 74-YARD TD \ud83d\udd25<\/p>\n<p>(via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Panthers?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Panthers<\/a>)<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XCszAmwZa3\">pic.twitter.com\/XCszAmwZa3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BleacherReport\/status\/1320422197664620548?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 25, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a package for the #1 overall pick, the Carolina Panthers traded star WR DJ Moore to the Chicago bears.
