Who Should I Start? DJ Moore or Jameson Williams

The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain writes that the Chicago Bears are getting creative with DJ Moore under new head coach Ben Johnson in training camp as they look to get his hands on the ball as much as possible. "We're exploring some things," Johnson said. "What I've seen on tape and what I've come to learn about DJ is he's a physical, he's a run-after-catch, just-get-me-the-ball type of guy. Whether that's in the backfield, whether that's screens, I think he had a nice 'go' route the other day, there's a number of things we're looking to do and explore." Moore has 57 career carries (14 in 2024) and has been seen taking some handoffs out of the backfield this summer. There will be competition for targets in an offense with plenty of weapons, but Moore is the clear WR1 in Chicago with Keenan Allen gone and should be targeted as a low-end WR2 with upside in fantasy.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has noticed new offensive coordinator John Morton's aggressiveness in his approach to taking deep shots down the field, and it's one of the major areas that Williams thinks he has improved since a year ago, writes ESPN's Eric Woodyard. "My route running -- coach Johnny Mo is letting me run more routes," Williams said. "I knew I could run more routes, but he's putting me in position to run more routes so I'm getting better with cuts and angles and how to run this route and that route, so I would say I'm more polished in my route game." There is a lot of pressure on Morton after Detroit's offense averaged 29 points per game over the last three seasons under Ben Johnson, who is now in Chicago. Williams broke out in 2024, but there are a lot of mouth to feed in this offense, making him a boom/bust WR2/3 target in fantasy.
