DJ Moore Week 12 Outlook - Bears at Lions

The hope is that Cam Newton can help revive Moore's fantasy value after Sam Darnold dragged Moore down with him as he circled the drain. Our first data point is encouraging - Moore had 5-50-1 last week in Cam's first start. Moore's TD catch, his first since Week 4, was very much a product of Cam's unique talents. Cam started to run what looked like a QB draw, a Washington linebacker and safety both vacated their zones to come up and stop it, and Cam pulled up short of the line of scrimmage and found Moore on a slant for an easy 10-yard score. Moore might see some of Xavien Howard's coverage Sunday in Miami, but Howard hasn't been as imposing a matchup as he has been in the recent past, and the Dolphins are giving up 27.1 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Moore is a high-end WR2 this week and a nice DraftKings value at $6,200.
