Chicago Bears DFS Spin
DJ Moore (ankle) was removed from the Week 18 injury report and will play against the Packers. Moore posted a GIF of Heath Ledger’s Joker on his X (Twitter) account on Wednesday, so there was never any chance he was missing the Bears’ final game of the year. Per usual, Moore projects to dominate the targets for Chicago. He has posted top-five fantasy numbers with Justin Fields under center and sits in the upper half of the WR1 ranks to close out the year.
Green Bay Packers DFS Spin
Christian Watson (hamstring) is questionable for Week 18 against the Bears. Watson practiced on Wednesday and Thursday but was held out of Friday’s session. Head coach Matt LaFleur downplayed the absence, saying they gave him the day off of practice after getting in two good sessions. The Packers will likely take Watson’s status all the way down to inactives, giving him every chance to play in a must-win game versus Chicago. He will be a risky DFS bet if he suits up.
