Allen had the most targets of any Chicago receiver, but came nowhere near his 9/141/1 game against the Lions. Tough to come close to that receiving yardage when your team only throws for 122 yards, to be fair. Fantasy managers can at least take a smidgen of solace in five receptions, but obviously this isn't what anyone had in mind. Allen will finish his first year with the Bears in a meaningless Week 18 contest against the Packers.
Allen brought in five of eight targets for 25 yards in the Bears' 6-3 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.
Moore nearly capped the modest day with a touchdown, but Caleb Williams put it just out of his reach in the back of the end zone. A flag on the defense seemingly gave Chicago a fresh set of downs, but the refs eventually picked it up, resulting in a turnover on downs. Moore saw plenty of looks in the passing game, though Keenan Allen operated as the team's top receiver, earning 13 targets. It's not the first time Allen has led the way in targets in recent weeks. His resurgence has hurt Moore's ceiling, though his high-volume floor remains unchanged. Moore will shuffle to the back of the WR2 ranks for his Week 17 game versus the Seahawks.
Allen secured nine of 13 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Allen has exploded under interim offensive coordinator and eventually interim head coach Thomas Brown. He has five touchdowns over his past five games and has topped 70 yards in all but one of those contests. Week 16 was no different as Caleb Williams targeted him on intermediate and middle-of-the-field looks relentlessly. Playing from behind, game script was also on Allen's side as Williams attempted 40 passes. Playing his best football as the season nears its merciful end for Bears fans, Allen is rising up the WR2 ranks for his Week 17 matchup with the Seahawks.
