Well, here's the thing, Fitz.
I don't know if DJ Moore will be feasting on Any volume, because I'm struggling with how to treat him.
And I think some folks are treating him like a wide receiver one in this game.
But still, it's just something that I'm questioning at this point.
Because now, if you look at his last couple of games, folks will tell you there's no doubt.
About it.
I mean, look at his box score: 22.9 and 21.9.
PPR points, back-to-back top-eight finishes without Rome Odunze on the field.
Clearly, those are wide receiver one results, but they've come on a wide receiver two level.
Opportunities.
He's only averaged six targets per game over The last couple of weeks, seven other guys for the Bears have registered.
At least three targets over that same span, from rookie Jaden Carter to Colston Loveland to Either of the running backs.
And speaking of the running backs, The other thing to remember with Moore is that he's part of a run-first offense.
I mean, since Chicago's bye, the Bears' pass rate over expectation has been at negative 3%.
Over the last two games, negative 9%.
All right.
Uh, Harmon, give me somebody that stands out to you that's ready to feast.
Yeah, I think it's Jauan Jennings, a San Francisco 49ers wide receiver.
Even with Ricky Pearsall looking like he's going to play.
We don't know if he's 100 percent healthy.
We've seen him come back from that PCL injury.
And then not be fully involved and fully integrated in the target pecking order.
And with no George Kittle, or at least he's unlikely to play in this game as George Kittle, I think Jauan Jennings is somebody that you can start as a high-end Wide Receiver 2.
Now you're certainly touchdown chasing with Jauan Jennings.
Because since Week 10, he only averages about 52.2 yards per game.
A 21.7% target share.
So it's not as if he is inhaling wide receiver.
On low volume, but he is one of the most productive wide receivers in terms of scoring.
Touchdowns since Week 10.
He has 10 red-zone targets.
Six end zone targets and six touchdowns to show for it since Week number 10.
So, I think if you're looking for a guy to get into the end zone here, What could be a pretty high-scoring game, between two defenses that are opportunistic and They play aggressively, but they do struggle overall to keep offenses at bay.
I think Jauan Jennings is somebody in your fantasy championships you can play as a flex.
And feel pretty good about chasing that touchdown.
