Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or D.J. Moore

Monday, November 25, 4:06 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught five passes for 35 yards and a touchdown in the 30-27 win over the Carolina Panthers. Hopkins finished second on the team in catches and tied for second in targets in this contest. The 32-year-old averaged just seven yards per catch, meaning he was utilized closer to the line of scrimmage. Hopkins will look to improve his stat line next week against the Las Vegas Raiders, who rank seventh in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers this season. Despite being seventh in points allowed, the Las Vegas defense just gave up 97 yards and two touchdowns to Courtland Sutton in Week 12. Fantasy managers should be excited to see what kind of performance Hopkins will put up on Black Friday, especially with Patrick Mahomes playing better lately.

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore is a solid WR3 option in Week 13 as he faces an advantageous matchup against the Detroit Lions. While the Lions' defense ranks second in points allowed, they are vulnerable against the pass, ranking 25th in pass yards allowed. Moore will look to build on his momentum from Week 12 when he posted seven receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown in a tough loss to the Minnesota Vikings. His touchdown came on a well-executed screen pass, showcasing his ability to make big plays in space. With the Bears likely playing from behind in this game, Moore should see plenty of targets as the team looks to exploit Detroit's weak pass defense. He's a solid flex play this week with significant upside, particularly in a matchup that could see the Bears forced into a pass-heavy game script.
