DJ Moore Difficult to Trust After Up-and-Down Season

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore followed up back-to-back top-seven fantasy performances in Weeks 15 and 16 with a one catch, 25-yard outing in Week 17 that was good enough for WR97 in Half-PPR formats.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams put up a disappointing 37 yards in a Week 17 loss to the Vikings, but any fantasy managers who survived that outing and are still playing for a Week 18 championship can start him with confidence in another divisional matchup with the Bears.

Malik Davis Could be a Game-Time Decision for Week 18

Dallas running back Malik Davis (calf, eye) has yet to practice this week and could be a game-time decision for the Cowboys' Week 18 matchup with the Giants.

Theo Johnson Misses Practice with Illness
