Who Should I Start? Adam Thielen or DJ Moore

Friday, September 26, 4:50 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen should be kept out of starting lineups when his team takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in Ireland. Now that receiver Jordan Addison (suspension) is back in the fold, Thielen is likely to see a significant decrease in snaps. Even with high snap rates in the first three weeks, Thielen caught a meager two passes. At this point, it's fair to wonder if he'll earn more snaps or targets than fellow receiver Jalen Nailor, to say nothing of Addison, top receiver Justin Jefferson, and tight end T.J. Hockenson. Given his lack of production and his situation on the depth chart, Thielen can be sent to waiver wires in standard redraft leagues.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore caught five of his seven targets for 64 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. After two very underwhelming performances, Moore bounced back by tying his season-high in catches while scoring his second and third touchdowns of the season. Neither Moore nor teammate Rome Odunze has been consistent this season, but the latter has typically been more productive, so Sunday's performance certainly bucked a trend within the Bears' offense. The veteran receiver isn't guaranteed to have fantasy relevance every week going forward, but Week 12 showed that he's still capable of producing at an elite level. Moore is back in the high-end WR3 tier for Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
