Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Darius Slayton

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.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton emerged as one of the quiet winners of the NFL Trade Deadline. While several teams reshaped their receiving corps during the deadline, the Giants stood pat, signaling confidence in their current group and keeping Slayton locked in as a top option. Through seven games, Slayton has caught 19 of 30 targets for 254 yards without finding the end zone. Despite modest production, he's played on 85% of the team's offensive snaps, maintaining a strong role in the offense. With rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart continuing to impress, Slayton's breakout could be right around the corner. In Week 10, Slayton draws a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Given his snap share and matchup, Slayton profiles as an intriguing deep-league FLEX flier this week.
