This is a fantasy football article from Footballguys.
You Are Too Low On D.J. Moore
Jeff Bell makes the case for D.J. Moore as one of the best buy-lows in fantasy football.

It’s an interesting perspective that shows that the Bears may have a better offense than the National guys are saying.Luke Getsy’s Offensive Scheme
After joining the Chicago Bears from Green Bay, offensive coordinator Luke Getsy introduced a run-pass option (RPO) heavy scheme that primarily relied on vertical passes and screens. When it comes to RPO plays, Justin Fieldsranked 7th in the league in pass attempts and 21st in play-action pass attempts. Overall, Fields threw the 27th most passes in the league, with 45% of those passes coming from RPO or play-action situations. Comparatively, quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes II had 35% of their pass attempts from these situations, while Jalen Hurts led the league with 55%. Fields' average intended air yards per attempt of 9.1 ranked him 5th in the league, highlighting the frequency of vertical attacks in the Bears' offensive strategy.
Moore has shown his proficiency in the vertical passing game. Over the past four seasons, he ranks 17th out of 84 qualifying receivers in yards per route run. At the very least, Moore is expected to maintain his role as a deep threat, which has allowed him to consistently remain on the fringes of WR2 territory, even during his statistically weakest season since his rookie year in 2018. Despite the Panthers' low passing volume, Moore received 118 targets, which was the second-lowest in his career. However, it is worth noting that the Bears allocated a significant number of targets (109 combined) to lesser-known receivers like Dante Pettis, Equanimeous St. Brown, Byron Pringle, and Velus Jones.
Moore can break through and exceed a WR21 ADP through the screen game. That is where Getsy's history with Green Bay and Davante Adams comes in.
