Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Darius Slayton

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.

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.
