Caught between the Bears’ conservative approach and sometimes operating as the only viable target, Moore finishes the season with a robust 98 catches for ... 966 yards. He does clear 1,000 when you add in his rushing, but 2024 was a major statistical step backward after Moore blew up with Justin Fields last season. His 9.9 yards per catch were a new career low by 2.5. That former number was posted in the darkest days of recent Panthers history. This year’s mark still had more to do with the Bears’ awful protection and Caleb Williams’ questionable decision-making. Constantly besieged, Williams led the league in sacks. That’s why the coaching staff’s seemingly never-ending focus was short targets to Moore. It’s nice that Moore can compile the way he did, but he’s capable of so much more down the field. Whom the Bears hire to replace Matt Eberflus will determine everything about Moore’s 2025 fantasy status. Anything from low-end WR1 to undependable WR3 is in play.
