DJ Moore Poised for Strong Performance Against Jaguars in Week 6

DJ Moore, the Chicago Bears‘ standout wide receiver, is anticipated to have a significant impact in Week 6 as the Bears face the Jacksonville Jaguars. Moore has been the go-to receiver for quarterback Caleb Williams, boasting a 24.7% target share, a 33.1% air-yard share, and a 28.4% first-read share. He ranks as the WR20 in fantasy points per game and is sixth in the NFL in red-zone targets, also tying for the team lead in end-zone targets with five.

Moore’s upcoming matchup against the Jaguars is particularly favorable. Jacksonville has struggled to contain wide receivers, allowing the sixth-highest PPR points per target and the most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Additionally, Moore’s performance tends to improve against two-high defensive schemes, which the Jaguars employ at a high rate of 49%. Against two-high, Moore’s yards per route run (YPRR) increases to 1.94.

In terms of specific defensive matchups, Moore will run about 80% of his routes against Ronald Darby and Montaric Brown, both of whom have shown vulnerabilities in coverage. Darby has a 75.9% catch rate and a 135.1 passer rating, while Brown has a 65.7% catch rate and a 95.1 passer rating.

Given his consistent involvement in the Chicago offense and the favorable matchup, Moore is expected to be a solid WR2 choice for fantasy managers in Week 6.
