Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Jahmyr Gibbs

Friday, November 14, 3:30 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (shoulder) will not carry an injury designation and will play in his team's Week 11 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune. Moore has been limited in practice this week due to the injury, but it appears it will not keep him from suiting up in a crucial divisional contest. Moore has not missed a game since the 2020 season. The 30-year-old has hauled in 30 catches for 403 yards and a touchdown on 48 targets across nine games this season. However, he's coming off a four-target, zero-catch game in Week 10 against the New York Giants. It's possible that the shoulder injury could keep Moore from playing his usual allotment of snaps and could open up some additional opportunities for Bears rookie wideout Luther Burden III. Moore profiles as a low-end WR3/high-end WR4 for fantasy managers in Week 11 against Minnesota.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs dominated the Washington Commanders in Week 10, recording 172 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 18 touches. He'll now face a significantly tougher test in Week 11 when the Lions travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. The Eagles' defense is a mid-pack unit in yards per carry allowed (4.4). However, they rank in the top ten in the NFL in per-game opponent scoring (21.3 points per game). One possible boost for Gibbs' fantasy value in Week 11 is his potential for receiving work. The Lions will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back) against Philadelphia, which could put Gibbs in position for more targets. Even in a tough matchup, Gibbs profiles as a must-start fantasy running back in Week 11.
