Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or DJ Moore

Thursday, October 30, 11:46 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins got everyone's hopes up after finding the end zone in each of the first two games of the season. Since then, he's only received more than two targets once and hasn't caught a touchdown pass either. To make things even tougher on fantasy managers wanting to start Hopkins, the Miami Dolphins are ranked as the toughest defense against opposing receivers, only allowing 25.84 fantasy points per game to the whole receiver group. Fantasy managers will want to look for other options outside of Hopkins if possible.

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore is coming off his best game of the season in Week 8 against the Ravens, catching four of his seven targets for a season high 73 yards. It's been an otherwise down year for the 28-year-old, failing to exceed 70 yards in every other game and scoring only one touchdown. His target share has dipped to just 17.3% in Ben Johnson's offense after being above 26% in both of his first two seasons in Chicago. Moore will have a chance to get back on track in Week 9 against a Bengals defense that hasn't slowed down any opponent this season and is tied for the highest net yards per pass attempt allowed in the league. Moore offers flex appeal in Week 9 in a favorable matchup, ranking as RotoBaller's WR31 in PPR formats.
