Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Jameson Williams

Saturday, September 27, 12:07 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore finally found the end zone in Week 3, his first touchdown of the 2025 season. It's been a slow start for the veteran, who has caught 12 of 16 targets for 135 yards and one score through three games. With second-year breakout Rome Odunze taking over as Chicago's WR1, Moore has seen a shift in usage, even taking on a hybrid role with six carries for 15 yards. Quarterback Caleb Williams even compared him to a potential "Deebo Samuel" piece in the offense. Moore gets a favorable matchup in Week 4 against a Raiders defense that has given up the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While no longer the locked-in fantasy option he once was, Moore still carries upside and profiles as a high-end WR3 against a vulnerable secondary.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams continues to play a marginal role in his team's offense. In Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals, Williams recorded just one catch on one target for nine yards. The 24-year-old simply has not been much of a factor in Detroit this season, as he's logged 11 catches for 223 yards and one touchdown through five games on 21 targets. Williams remains a big-play threat, leading the NFL by averaging 20.3 yards per reception. His playing time is also stable, as he's played at least 82% of the Lions' offensive snaps in all five games. Still, his low target volume and downfield usage make Williams a boom/bust flex option at best. Heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, fantasy managers should likely be searching for ways to keep Williams out of their starting lineup.
