Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Brian Thomas Jr.

Friday, November 7, 7:29 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (groin, hip) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been cleared to play this Sunday against the visiting New York Giants in Week 10. Moore was held out of practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday before being a full-go in the final practice of the week. The 28-year-old has battled injuries in recent weeks, but he hasn't missed any games and will be full speed ahead this weekend in a good matchup against the G-Men. Moore has mostly taken a back seat to second-year wideout Rome Odunze in 2025, but that wasn't the case in the team's 47-point explosion in the Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He had four catches for 72 yards, a 17-yard rushing touchdown, and even threw a touchdown pass on a track play, while Odunze didn't have a single catch. Moore has only two touchdowns on the year, but he has topped 70 receiving yards for the first time all year in two straight games. Fantasy managers will be hoping that trend continues as a low-end WR2/high-end WR3/flex in Week 10.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Houston Texans, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Thomas suffered a low-grade high-ankle sprain in Jacksonville's Week 9 win over the Raiders, where he caught three of five targets for 55 yards. There was some optimism that Thomas would be able to suit up in Week 10, but the second-year wideout was unable to practice this week and could need a week or two to fully recover. The Jaguars are running thin at the wide receiver position with Thomas out and first-round rookie Travis Hunter (knee) on Injured Reserve. Recent trade acquisition Jakobi Meyers, along with Parker Washington, are likely to lead Jacksonville's passing game in a tough matchup against a stout Houston Texans defense in Week 10.
