Keenan Allen, DJ Moore and the Chicago Bears are getting ready to face off against a wounded San Francisco 49ers team. The defending NFC champions were dominated by the Buffalo Bills in Week 13's edition of Sunday Night Football at Highmark Stadium.
The Bears hope to bounce back against the Niners following a defeat against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Matt Eberflus missed several chances to call a timeout to give Caleb Williams time to try to get to the end zone, but his poor clock management cost the team the game and Eberflus his job.
Both Allen and Moore could be in for a good game, but if you're a fantasy manager trying to decide who to pick between them, we'll try to unveil the answer.
Is Keenan Allen a good pick for fantasy football in Week 14?
Keenan Allen has found momentum in the past couple of weeks, even though the Bears didn't win either game. That said, the former LA Chargers receiver is doing what he was brought to do, helping the offense and especially Caleb Williams, who has looked better in recent weeks.

He's coming off a five-reception, 73-yard and two-touchdown performance against the Detroit Lions, confirming that he's playing his best football in recent weeks. Allen is considered the WR31 in the league and is projected to tally 12.2 fantasy points.
Is DJ Moore a good pick for fantasy football in Week 14?
DJ Moore, as well as the rest of the Bears' offense, has improved in the past couple of games. The Bears are still in the middle of a losing streak, having lost the last six matches and falling out of the race for the NFC North title.
Just like Allen, Moore posted a terrific game against the Lions, catching eight passes for 97 yards and one touchdown that helped his team get close to at least sending the game to overtime before the Eberflus meltdown.
That said, he's considered WR21 in the league ahead of Sunday's fixture. He's expected to rack up 13.99 fantasy points by ESPN, making him a serious threat to the 49ers.
Keenan Allen or DJ Moore: Who should I pick?
This duel between teammates is an intriguing one, but according to our Start/Sit optimizer, DJ Moore should get the nod over Keenan Allen.
The former Carolina Panthers wide receiver gets the edge with 2.3 projected rushing yards against 0.3 from Allen. He's projected to rack up 63.4 receiving yards against Allen's 57.5 for a production of 14.0 fantasy points over 13.2 from his teammate.
