Bears WR DJ Moore has fifth-most receiving yards through Week 5

The Chicago Bears landed a playmaker at receiver in DJ Moore, who the team acquired this offseason as part of a deal for the No. 1 pick with the Carolina Panthers. And so far, the returns have been nothing short of impressive.

Through five games, Moore has three 100-yard receiving games to his name, including most recently a career-high 230 yards on eight catches and three touchdowns in a Week 5 win against the Washington Commanders.

In the last two games alone, Moore has totaled 16 catches for 361 yards and four touchdowns.

Now, Moore finds himself among the NFL’s top-five receiving yards leaders. Moore sits at No. 5 with 531 yards, behind the likes of Miami’s Tyreek Hill (651), Los Angeles’ Puka Nacua (572), Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson (571) and Philadelphia’s A.J. Brown (541).

Moore is also tied for the most receiving touchdowns (5) among NFL receivers, alongside Hill and Buffalo’s Stefon Diggs. He ranked third among receivers in yards after catch (229).

Moore has 12 receptions that have gone for 20-plus yards (2nd most) and two receptions that have gone for 40-plus yards (tied for 1st).
