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 D.J. Moore is coming off his two most productive receiving games of the season, averaging 4 catches for 72.5 yards over the past two weeks and even adding both a rushing and passing touchdown in last week's 47-42 win over Cincinnati. Ben Johnson has been moving Moore all over the formation, using him as a runner and in the quick passing game to maximize his impact. He gets a favorable matchup in Week 10 against a Giants defense that allows the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers. With 25+ mph winds expected, Moore's short-area usage should help keep him involved. He profiles as a reliable WR3 this week.
