Who Should I Start? D.J. Moore or Diontae Johnson

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore scored the lone touchdown for the team against the Chiefs. He was able to catch three of his six targets for 41 yards and a score. The score came when the game was already out of hand, so it ended up only helping fantasy managers who had Moore in their lineups. As long as Justin Fields continues to struggle in the passing game, Moore will continue to trend in the same direction. Week 4 does bring a matchup against a Denver team that just allowed 70 points, but the rest of the season doesn't get much easier.

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) and running back Anthony McFarland Jr. (knee) on Injured Reserve on Monday and promoted running back Qadree Ollison from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster in a corresponding move. Johnson will now have to miss four games after injuring his hamstring in the Week 1 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Pittsburgh also has a bye in Week 6, so the 27-year-old could return in Week 7 in a matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Fantasy managers should attempt to stash Johnson for now, as the 27-year-old should be heavily involved in the passing game once he's healthy again. In the meantime, George Pickens, Allen Robinson II and Calvin Austin III will be the team's three starting wideouts. Tight end Pat Freiermuth should also see an uptick in targets.
