Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Brandon Aiyuk

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore (hip, groin) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session. The 28-year-old has missed multiple practices over the past few weeks while he manages a few lingering injuries, but it hasn't held him back on gamedays. Chicago is dealing with injuries to their top two wide receivers, with second-year wideout Rome Odunze (ankle, heel) also missing Wednesday's practice. Moore had his best game of the season in Week 9 at Cincinnati, catching four of six targets for 72 yards, while adding one carry for a 17-yard touchdown, in addition to throwing a two-yard touchdown to quarterback Caleb Williams. His status will be updated as the week goes along.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Wednesday that he's "pretty confident" that wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) will play at some point this season, according to David Lombardi of The San Francisco Standard. However, the 49ers are still waiting for Aiyuk to "hit certain markers" on GPS speed measurements before opening his 21-day practice window. Once Aiyuk returns to practice, the team will have 21 days to officially activate him from the Physically Unable to Perform list. Despite the optimism, reports on Monday suggested that the 27-year-old former first-rounder wasn't close to a return to practice, so fantasy managers who have been stashing Aiyuk all year shouldn't get their hopes up. Aiyuk suffered a torn ACL and MCL in Week 7 of last year and probably won't be back in games for the 49ers until December.
