Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Christian Watson

Wednesday, November 5, 4:19 PM

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson returned just two weeks ago, but could get a big-time upgrade in his opportunity moving forward for the Packers. With the season-ending knee injury to Packers tight end Tucker Kraft, Watson could be the biggest beneficiary of Kraft being out of the lineup. Watson has four targets in each of his two games since returning from an ACL injury in Week 18 last year, but his workload has ramped up from 65% of routes per dropback in Week 8 to 75% in Week 9. With the litany of injuries surrounding the Packers' pass-catchers, somebody other than Romeo Doubs will have to take the initiative and earn more targets in this offense. With Watson now healthy, he seems like the best bet for that job right now for Green Bay. With the Packers hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10, consider Watson a low-end flex option for fantasy, with the potential for much more.
