Who Should I Start? Chris Godwin or D.J. Moore

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has surprisingly been off to a slow start to begin the season. Through two games, Godwin has 10 receptions for 109 yards and zero touchdowns. Right now, Godwin has been mainly a short yardage passing option, while Mike Evans is getting the deep balls. Despite his slow start, Godwin has the skills and potential to be a reliable contributor. However, he'll draw a tough matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3. Oddly, the Eagles have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to wideouts this season. The expectation is that superstar defensive back Darius Slay will be on Evans this week. That means, Godwin will have an easier matchup which should lead to more success. That being said, Godwin is probably more of a WR3, but has WR2 upside for this matchup.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore scored the lone touchdown for the team against the Chiefs. He was able to catch three of his six targets for 41 yards and a score. The score came when the game was already out of hand, so it ended up only helping fantasy managers who had Moore in their lineups. As long as Justin Fields continues to struggle in the passing game, Moore will continue to trend in the same direction. Week 4 does bring a matchup against a Denver team that just allowed 70 points, but the rest of the season doesn't get much easier.
