Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or DK Metcalf

Thursday, November 27, 7:55 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore was able to find the endzone twice in Week 12, totaling 64 yards on five receptions in the 31-28 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite his strong showing against Pittsburgh, Week 12 marked just his second game of the season with seven or more targets in a game. Whether it's due to the emergence of Rome Odunze, Luther Burden III, and Colston Loveland or the strong workload given to the run game, Moore is a risky option for fantasy managers moving forward. The Eagles host the Bears this weekend, and their secondary has given up the 10th most yards to wide receivers in 2025. Despite the ideal matchup, Moore is a FLEX play at best in Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf (ankle) was listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice session, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN. Head coach Mike Tomlin said that Metcalf will be limited in practice early in the week, but he opens this week as a non-participant. The 27-year-old injured his ankle during Pittsburgh's Week 12 loss at the Chicago Bears, but was able to return to the game and finished with five receptions for 22 yards on eight targets. The former Seattle Seahawk has had a decent season in his first season with the Steelers, totaling 42 receptions (70 targets) for 573 yards and five touchdowns in 11 games, ranking as the WR24 in PPR points per game (12.4). Metcalf's status for Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills will be updated as the week goes along.
